BBC Media Action: Senior Project Officer (India)
Break the Chain is a two-year (2026-27) initiative that combines demand-led capacity strengthening for media practitioners, creative and informative media content for the public, and coalition building to foster a more resilient and inclusive media ecosystem in India. It has two specific objectives: to help people demonstrate improved capacity to critically assess, verify, and engage with digital content and to support media practitioners to deliver accurate, balanced reporting and inclusive media content. Funded by the European Union, the project is implemented by a consortium comprising WAN-IFRA (World Association of News Publishers) and BBC Media Action.
The Senior Project Officer (SPO) will support the timely and quality delivery of the project by leading day-to-day coordination and communication work. Reporting to the Head of Project, the SPO will be responsible for managing a team of two local coordinators and liaising with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that activities are implemented according to project plans, risks are mitigated, and achievements are shared among diverse audiences.
