About the Role
IN2 is looking to expand its roster of specialist associates by identifying experienced consultants with expertise in migration-related issues and strategic communications.
The opportunity involves providing technical backstopping to rapid-response communications campaigns aimed at helping people make safer, better-informed migration decisions.
Consultants will work alongside IN2 's project and delivery teams from the initial campaign design stage, contributing specialist knowledge to campaign strategy, audience-specific messaging, creative development and ongoing adaptations informed by research and audience feedback.
We are seeking subject matter experts with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
Political Instrumentalisation of Migration: Advising on politically charged narratives where migration is used to advance political objectives or exert pressure, including risks of escalating tensions or stigmatising migrants.
Migration Misinformation and Disinformation: Supporting the development of accurate messaging and credible responses to false or misleading claims about migration routes, risks and procedures.
Crisis-Related Migration and Asylum Misinformation: Providing technical guidance on timely, context-sensitive communications during conflicts, emergencies or sudden displacement, as conditions and information needs evolve.
Consultants may express interest in one or more of these areas. This is an assignment-based consultancy opportunity, with engagements agreed according to specific requirements rather than a permanent position.
Key Responsibilities
Provide specialist technical advice and strategic guidance on migration-related issues throughout campaign planning and delivery.
Contribute to the development of campaign strategies and communications approaches that respond to specific migration challenges and audience needs.
Support the development and review of audience-specific messages, creative briefs, scripts and campaign content.
Ensure communications materials are technically accurate, contextually appropriate and sensitive to relevant political, social and cultural dynamics.
Identify and assess emerging migration narratives, misinformation and disinformation risks that may influence campaign approaches.
Provide recommendations for adapting communications strategies and content based on research findings, monitoring insights and audience feedback.
Collaborate with IN2 's project, research, creative and delivery teams to integrate specialist expertise into campaign activities.
Provide timely technical input and recommendations in response to emerging developments and rapidly changing circumstances.
Qualifications
Demonstrated expertise in one or more of the identified migration-related areas.
Relevant professional experience in migration, international development, humanitarian response, public policy, strategic communications or related fields.
Experience advising on or contributing to communications campaigns addressing complex or sensitive migration-related issues.
Strong understanding of misinformation and disinformation dynamics, particularly in migration and crisis-related contexts.
Ability to translate complex technical information into clear, accessible and audience-appropriate communications.
Experience working in politically sensitive, fragile, conflict-affected or rapidly changing environments.
Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams and provide practical, timely technical guidance.
Regional experience in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Western Balkans, Eastern Europe or Southern Africa would be advantageous.
A relevant academic qualification in migration studies, international relations, political science, communications, development studies or a related discipline would be advantageous.
IN2 is committed to hiring the best talent. As a company, it is proud of its diverse and inclusive workforce and so we welcome applications from all professional and cultural backgrounds, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or religion.
