Elucid is a fast‑growing, mission‑driven team representing more than 20 nationalities.

Your Role

The Media & Communications Specialist sits at the intersection of communications, external visibility and public relations. This role helps translate Elucid’s expertise, field insights and programme data into clear and compelling narratives that strengthen the organisation’s voice in conversations about sustainable supply chains and farmer health.

You will be responsible for producing long‑form written content such as blog articles, essays, opinion pieces, research‑driven articles, white papers and narrative case studies. You will also support Elucid’s visibility through press releases, interviews, podcasts, sector publications and industry events. The role operationalises the communication strategy defined by the Head of Communications and works closely with the Creative & Brand function to ensure strong alignment between narrative, messaging and visual storytelling.

Events & Industry Engagement

Lead communications planning for events, from concept to post‑event content.
Support event organisation and coordination where required.
Ensure event messaging is coherent, timely and aligned with broader communications.
