📋 Description

• We are seeking a Communications Specialist to expand the Change.org brand through earned media in French-language and conservative media markets.
• As a key member of our Communications Team, you will develop and execute bilingual media strategies, pitching French-language and English national outlets across Canada.
• You will build and maintain relationships with journalists, identify petitions to amplify, position petition starters for earned media opportunities, and conduct media prep to get them ready for interviews.
• You will serve as the team's lead on all French-language communications, managing inbound French-language media inquiries and producing bilingual press materials without requiring translation support.
• A core part of this role is building Change.org Canada's credibility and reach with conservative and centre-right audiences - through advising the team on conservative influencer outreach, developing conservative media relationships, and proactive pitching into target media ecosystems.
• You will report to our Communications Manager.
• Our core petitions platform, used by more than 100 million people annually, is growing rapidly - and we are rebuilding it from the ground up using new tools to turn anyone into a powerful civic leader on the issues they care about.
• Soon we will launch a new platform to identify the >80% of issues that most people agree on, locally and nationally, and to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to advocate for those common-ground solutions.
• To realize this vision, we’re expanding the most talented team in the world at the intersection of technology and social impact - all focused every day on building healthier democracies globally.
• Key Outcomes include establishing active relationships with French-language journalists, leading end-to-end communications on Francophone-originated or conservative-reach campaigns, producing bilingual press releases, media advisories, and journalist pitches, developing and maintaining a conservative outlet database, and building a shortlist of francophone petition starters, conservative influencers and credible validators.

🎯 Requirements

• Earned media and journalist relations, with demonstrated ability to pitch and place stories in both French-language and English national media
• Bilingual written and verbal communication (French/English) at a professional standard
• Conservative audience framing and media ecosystem fluency, including familiarity with the values, tone, and outlet preferences of centre-right Canadian audiences
• Campaign storytelling in the journalistic tradition: ability to identify the news hook, the relatable hero, the clear ask, and shape a narrative that travels
• Media strategy and timing — knows when to pitch, who to call first, how to sequence a campaign across earned, social, and email
• Fluent and increasingly strategic, with comfort using AI tools to accelerate research, drafting, and pitch personalization
• 5+ years of experience in journalism, communications at a PR agency with francophone or bilingual clients, or advocacy communications with a conservative-aligned organization or campaign

🏖️ Benefits

• Benefits and perks vary based on location
• Opportunity to work with a talented team at the intersection of technology and social impact
• Professional development and growth opportunities
