Overview:

Are you a Cambodia-based native English speaker looking to kickstart your career in international development? The Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is seeking a highly motivated technical communications officer to support our dynamic communications across all aspects of the program.

CAPRED, Australia’s flagship economic development program, supports Cambodia’s resilient, inclusive and sustainable growth through our work in agriculture, agro-processing, trade, investment, enterprise development, water, energy, policy, climate resilience, and gender equality, disability and social inclusion.

The program is complex, creating systemic change from simultaneous, cumulative economic approaches and interventions. And this requires effective communications—that cuts through the noise to tell simple, impactful stories of change. The technical communications officer will be crucial in supporting the team to make this happen.

Our ideal candidate is:

• Curious. We’re not interested in someone who has all the answers. Telling great stories requires asking great questions. Candidates should be driven by an interest in Cambodia – and a commitment to supporting the team to create lasting change.
• An excellent communicator. We need someone to help us identify and construct interesting stories across program areas. Candidates should be able synthesise and eliminate jargon to effectively communicate impact.
• Intelligent and high functioning. At CAPRED, we have big ambitions. We’re interested in an energetic and professional candidate, who can learn quickly to absorb complex technical approaches and translate these into simple messaging.
• Committed to quality. We are looking for someone who is discerning, with a keen eye for detail to ensure all communications meet high standards.
• Social! CAPRED is a large, welcoming team of diverse professionals. We need someone who likes to work with people and can foster relationships easily.
