Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead a global external communications strategy to enhance the organization's visibility and reputation as a leader in child and girls' rights. Manage a global team to drive ethical storytelling, digital campaigns, and crisis communications responses across international entities.
Requires extensive senior experience leading communications in complex international matrixed organizations with a track record in brand and media leadership. Must possess exceptional leadership skills and a deep commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and safeguarding principles.
The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.
We won’t stop until we are all equal.
As Director of External Communications, you will lead a global strategy that strengthens our influence, amplifies the voices of girls and young people, and protects and enhances our reputation worldwide.
You will spearhead, coordinate, foster collaboration and manage activities to promote effective external communication by and across all Plan International entities. Your leadership will ensure that our strategic messaging and storytelling enhance the organisation's visibility and reputation, positioning Plan International as the 'go to' organisation for girls' rights and a global leader in child rights advocacy.
Why Join Us?
This role offers a unique opportunity to lead communications for a globally recognised and respected organisation committed to advancing the rights of children and girls worldwide. You will be working alongside passionate, skilled professionals in an environment that values innovation, integrity, collaboration, and impact. Your leadership will help shape the stories and messages that inspire change and mobilise support across different continents and cultures.
About You
You bring senior experience leading communications in international, matrixed organisations, with a strong track record in strategic communications and brand positioning, media, digital, and campaign leadership and leading and developing diverse, global teams.
You are a collaborative and values-driven leader, committed to ethical, inclusive, and power-aware storytelling.
Location: The location of this role can be flexible where Plan International has an office* that can employ on behalf of the Global Hub and you have the pre-existing right to work and live. Working hours that align with the UTC timezone are preferred.
Type of Role: Permanent or maximum fixed term contract as per employing office’s standard terms and conditions.
Reports to: Executive Director of Global Affairs
Closing Date: Sunday 12th July

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan International stands for.
We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.
We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial justice, gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion.
Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.
A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan International's Safeguarding Children and Young People policy. Plan International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
Please note that Plan International will never send unsolicited emails requesting payment from candidates.
We stand with girls to tear down barriers, save lives & build a world where equality for girls leads to progress for all
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that stands with girls to tear down barriers, save lives and build a world where equality for girls leads to progress for all. Across the globe, girls face more risks and fewer choices. Gains that took decades to secure — like staying in school, choosing if or when to marry or have children, and shaping their own futures — are under threat. And in conflict zones, girls are being deliberately attacked — killed in schools and homes, abducted, starved or recruited by armed groups — simply because they are girls. But girls aren’t backing down. They’re raising their voices and leading the fight for change. Plan backs girls to lead on what matters most: a quality education, access to clean water and enough to eat, safety from violence and the freedom to live out their childhood without being forced into marriage or motherhood. For over 85 years and with deep community roots, strong partnerships and decades of trust, Plan’s work saves lives in the moment and evolves with girls through every stage of life.
