Luminate is a global philanthropic organization focused on empowering people and institutions to work together to build just and fair societies. We support innovative and courageous organizations and entrepreneurs around the world, and we advocate for the policies and actions that will drive change across four impact areas:
ROLE
The Analyst, Narrative Change is a critical hire for our Narrative Change team. Narratives are the ideas and themes that emerge from the stories that we tell each other and that surround us in different formats—TV series, podcasts, news, movies and beyond.
Luminate’s Narrative Change work focuses on seeding new narratives and challenging harmful ones by 1) Supporting underrepresented stories and voices; 2) Leveraging pop culture and entertainment industries for social change; 3) Strengthening our grantees’ ability to influence public discourse on important issues.
The Analyst will work in an operational role to implement and support initiatives to help our portfolio become more impactful. This role will support our team’s administrative and project management capabilities. Activities will include administrative execution of grants and contracts, database administration/management, data collection and analysis, event planning, information/knowledge management, communications support, and overall project planning/management.
OPPORTUNITY
Luminate works to enable people to fully participate in civic and political life, to safely challenge power, and to access accurate, trustworthy information. We place a strong emphasis on supporting underrepresented groups who face structural barriers. Harmful narratives are a structural barrier for underrepresented groups, as these underpin, justify, and even reinforce systems of injustice, and can often lead to violence and repression. At its core, our Narrative Change work is about shifting power. It’s about challenging the stereotypes that hold society back and supporting underrepresented groups to own the narratives about themselves and the conditions that shape their lives. We believe that Narrative Change and storytelling can be powerful tools in creating just, inclusive societies.
Our Narrative Change program and projects require implementation support, such as processing of contracts/grants, data collection and entry, event management, and overall project management. The Narrative Change team is seeking a motivated, highly detail-oriented, and dedicated team player who will be responsible for the behind-the-scenes support to enhance our global initiatives and serve regional priorities. The ideal candidate has experience maintaining and improving operational processes and systems. Candidates who have an interest in how narratives can increase civic and political participation, protecting human rights, and hold social media platforms to account are encouraged to apply.
TEAM
The Analyst will be an integral member of the Narrative Change team, based in London, UK or Nairobi, Kenya. They will report to the Principal, Narrative Change who is based in Washington, DC.
Successful candidates must currently be located in either London, UK or Nairobi, Kenya and have the right to work in the location where they are based. Competitive salary and benefits are offered.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The individual in this role will be expected to focus on:
Support the efforts to build and manage a portfolio of global grants.
Manage internal and external activities and events to help advance Luminate’s Narrative Change goals.
Contribute to the team’s strategy by collecting and communicating insights, evidence, data and strategic reflections related to our work and, in general, the field of Narrative Change.
