The Scope
FSC is looking for a Media Relations Manager with strong journalistic instincts, sound editorial judgement and the ability to navigate complex and nuanced topics with clarity and precision. The ideal candidate brings a keen eye for compelling stories, a strong appreciation for facts and evidence, and the judgement to approach challenging subjects thoughtfully and confidently in a global, multi-stakeholder environment. Working within FSC’s global communications function and reporting to the Media and Public Relations Programme Manager, the role contributes specialist expertise to FSC’s international media relations and positioning.
For an experienced journalist or senior media professional, this is not a conventional communications role. This is an opportunity to shape narratives at the intersection of environmental policy, global supply chains, responsible forest management, sustainability standards and corporate accountability, with a particular focus on the systems and processes that underpin FSC's credibility. It calls for someone with first-hand experience of the media landscape, who understands editorial priorities, recognises what makes a compelling story, and knows how to build credibility through informed and thoughtful media engagement.
FSC offers a platform of global relevance. The organisation operates in a space shaped by regulatory developments, corporate sustainability commitments, NGO scrutiny and public opinion. In this environment, the Media Relations Manager will play an active role in strengthening FSC's position as a trusted and authoritative voice, identifying opportunities for proactive media coverage and facilitating meaningful engagement on topics central to FSC's credibility and effectiveness.
