CGAP, a leading consortium of organizations working to expand global microfinance, is looking for a Web Editor. Sounds like an interesting position:

Web
2.0, social networking, Kiva, Microplace, and other online lending platforms are revolutionizing microfinance. We’re looking for someone to lead CGAP’s Web strategy, develop a CGAP blog, and take us into the new media era.

CGAP seeks a Communications Officer with high energy and fresh thinking who can generate innovative ideas for communicating CGAP’s work to a wide range of audiences through electronic tools. The ideal candidate will be an experienced Web editor with knowledge of Web marketing techniques, the ability to write well, and a track record in effective Web campaigns. The Web Editor will work with colleagues to effectively communicate CGAP’s work online, developing and operationalizing our strategy for Web, new media, and social networking.

We’ve already taken some baby steps in this direction, the fruits of which will be evident with the relaunch of cgap.org in a couple of months. cgap.org is CGAP’s most important external communications tool. And yet over the past few years it has been neglected, and become outdated. With the relaunch and redesign of the site, we are looking for the right person to lead CGAP’s Web strategy and online marketing and take the organization forward, capitalizing on new media opportunities to reach out to new audiences, and to established audiences in new ways.

Resumes with cover letter should be sent to: webeditor@collab.cgap.org by March 31. CGAP requests no phone calls, please.
