Lushomo helps partner organisations do good by communicating complex information in a simple, effective way.\u00a0We work mainly with United Nations clients in areas of health, environment and development, to transform complicated and technical information into compelling communication products.<\/p>\n

Job Title: Communications and Research Assistant<\/strong>
\nLocation:\u00a0<\/strong>Cape Town<\/p>\n

You will be working within a core team of six and a wider group of freelance designers, web developers and researchers from all over the world. This job involves a high level of creative collaboration, including frequent meetings to brainstorm, give input and receive feedback on various communication products.<\/p>\n

We often work under pressure to meet tough deadlines but the work tasks are varied and each day is different from the rest. We are always pushing the boundaries to learn new technical skills (such as filming videos, augmented reality etc.) and keep our products fresh and relevant in an increasingly digital landscape.<\/p>\n

Your main role initially will be to slot into some of our existing projects, including on reproductive and maternal health, education, and malaria research. This will involve digesting and summarizing research from our partner organisations, communicating our ideas to designers and developers, some data analysis, and generating content for web and social media.<\/p>\n

A large component of the work is conceptualising products that communicate the information and data visually, such as data visualisations, infographics, animations etc. This will require a lot of creative thinking and it is important that you have an interest in design and will enjoy developing these products in a very iterative process.\u00a0Once the ideas are in place, you will help ensure that everything is\u00a0rigorously\u00a0checked and accurate. So you will need a good eye for detail.<\/p>\n

Our job is to make it possible for our partner organisations to communicate crucial, evidence-based messages to country leaders and other decision-makers, to researchers in other fields, and even to the general public. There is plenty of scope for growth in a number of career areas,\u00a0particularly in the area of information design, working with the UN and project\u00a0management. If you like it here, and we work well together, the idea would be for you to learn and grow into an account management role over time.<\/p>\n
