The project is funded by the Kone Foundation. We are looking for someone who can make the essential visible.

Your task is to make observations impactful communication.

What do we expect from you? * Data management: Convert data on forest use and logging into understandable and engaging formats without losing factual accuracy. * Networking: Naturally promote information and connect with media and other stakeholders. Previous networks are an advantage. * Communication skills: Your Finnish is fluent in background memos and social media posts.

Additionally, experience in investigative work or working with data, experience with geospatial data or data visualization, experience with forest mapping or logging documentation, experience in environmental journalism or social campaigns, and knowledge of forest and nature policy issues are considered an advantage.
