Salary: 7.20-9 LPA
Location: 30% onsite in Sukma/Bastar division + 70% remote

About the role:
This is not a typical communications role. We are looking for someone who can sit with a story in a remote village, understand its emotion and complexity, and translate it into a powerful narrative for partners, funders, teams, and the larger ecosystem. At its heart, this role is about building narratives, not just creating content.

The Communications Manager will help establish the organisation as a credible, field-rooted entity with deep expertise in:
- Conflict and crisis-affected geographies
- Contextual pedagogy and education solutions
- Grassroots innovations in learning
- Positive Childhood Experiences
- Childhood-centred education and systems change

The role will also contribute to strengthening our digital publications and storytelling platforms, including HAKUM and The Children's Times, ensuring that children's voices,



local wisdom, and field realities become part of larger public conversations.
High-Priority Areas

1. Narrative Strategy & Organisational Positioning
- Build our public narrative around Childhood in Crisis, Positive Childhood Experiences, contextual education, and pedagogy-led innovation.
- Position the organisation as a credible entity working with children in conflict-affected and crisis-affected geographies.
- Translate field experience into explicit narratives for donors, partners, government, media, and ecosystem stakeholders.
- Help make childhood a central part of education, equity, and development conversations.

2. Storytelling from the Field
- Travel regularly to project locations and spend time with children, educators, parents, community members, and field teams.
- Identify powerful stories, patterns, insights, and lived experiences from the ground.
- Convert field realities into stories
