How can you make a difference?
This role is being established to strengthen the capacity of the Audience and Market Insights (AMI) unit by bringing in dedicated media analysis expertise. The Junior Media Insights Consultant will be primarily responsible for supporting monitoring, tracking, and analyzing media coverage and performance data, while also contributing to broader desk research activities that support the team's insight outputs. The role suits an early-career analyst with a background in media monitoring, content analysis, or communications research.
- Media Analysis and Landscape Mapping: Support the team with media analysis that informs strategic decisions on partnership development and channel prioritization. This includes conducting periodic media landscape analyses — mapping the broader media environment to surface shifts in topic prominence, emerging narratives, evolving editorial agendas, and how key themes are being covered across outlets and competitor platforms. Outputs will range from regular analysis of snapshots to deeper landscape reports, formatted for internal distribution across the AMI team, PFP division, and wider stakeholders.
- Desk Research Support: Assist the AMI team on an ad hoc basis with secondary research tasks — including landscape reviews, competitor scans, and audience background research — contributing to the synthesis and write-up of insight reports as workload requires.
- Data and Insights Organization: Maintain up-to-date insight databases, dashboards, and internal repositories (e.g., SharePoint, Teams folders, Boolean searches' archive) to ensure research materials are easily accessible and systematically organized.
- Contribution to Research Projects and Insight Reports: Support end-to-end research activities, including questionnaire design, data synthesis, and the creation of final insight reports for internal distribution.
Minimum requirements:
Education: Master's degree in cultural studies, communications, psychology, marketing, political studies, development studies, or a related field.
Work Experience:
- Minimum of 6 months of professional experience in market research, data analysis, or audience insights (agency or client-side).
- Familiarity with quantitative and qualitative research methods.
- Experience with digital and analytics tools (e.g., Brandwatch, Talkwalker, Google Analytics).
Language requirement: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
Skills: Strong analytical and data visualization skills (Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
Strong attention to detail, organization, and ability to manage multiple tasks.
Curious and constructive attitude, with a desire to learn and grow in the craft of research and insights.
Desirables:
- Method neutrality is an asset [quantitative, qualitative, and secondary research]
- Knowledge of additional UN languages is an asset
