• 10 roles. 3 provinces. 1 mission: climate-resilient farming for PNG.
• From provincial coordination to national leadership — pick your role.
• Real impact, real careers — help PNG farmers adapt and thrive.

About the Organisation and the Project

The South Pacific Community (SPC) — the region's principal intergovernmental organisation, working across the Pacific since 1947 — and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), a treaty-based international body supporting sustainable development, have partnered with Papua New Guinea's Department of Agriculture and Livestock (DAL) to deliver the Agriculture Sector Support Activity (ASSA).

Formally known as the Adaptation of Small-Scale Agriculture for Improved Food Security of Resilient Communities in Papua New Guinea, ASSA is a landmark, multi-year initiative that will work directly with farming communities across Enga, Milne Bay and New Ireland Provinces. Its purpose is to strengthen food security, build climate-resilient agricultural practices and help communities better anticipate, prepare for and respond to climate variability and climate-related shocks — with DAL acting as the Implementing Agency and SPC and GGGI providing funding and technical backing.

About This Recruitment

To build the team that will lead this work, ASSA has partnered with Peopleconnexion to manage end-to-end recruitment for its Project Management Unit (PMU) — a ten-person team responsible for delivering the project on the ground. These roles give you the opportunity to contribute to regional or national impact, and the chance to be part of a program that will shape climate adaptation practice in PNG agriculture for years to come.

If you want a career that puts you at the centre of one of PNG's most significant climate adaptation investments, Peopleconnexion wants to hear from you.

About the Role

Every good project has a story worth telling — and stakeholders who need to hear it. As Communications, Stakeholder Engagement and Knowledge Management Coordinator, you will lead how ASSA communicates its work, engages its stakeholders and captures its learning, ensuring information flows clearly between the PMU, communities, government, partners and donors.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement the project's communications, stakeholder engagement and knowledge management strategies.
• Produce high-quality reports, publications, media products and communication materials.
• Coordinate events, consultations, workshops and outreach activities.
• Capture, document and share lessons learned, case studies and success stories.
• Support behaviour change and community awareness of climate-resilient agricultural practices.
• Build strong relationships with communities, government, partners and media.

What You'll Bring

• A bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, media, public relations, marketing, development communication, public policy or related field.
• A demonstrated record delivering measurable communication, engagement or knowledge management outcomes.
• Experience producing communication and knowledge products for diverse audiences.
• Strong event, consultation and stakeholder coordination skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication ability.

Why Join the ASSA Team?

• Be part of a landmark, multi-year climate adaptation program with real, visible impact for PNG farming communities.
• Competitive remuneration aligned to PNG Public Service General Orders (and SPC salary bands for specialist roles).
• Work alongside a capable, mission-driven, multidisciplinary team backed by SPC, GGGI and DAL.
• A fixed-term contract for the duration of the project (up to five years), subject to performance and funding.
