Position Mandate

Resonance has been awarded a Walton Family Foundation (WFF) grant to serve as the lead secretariat for Phase III of the Indonesia Tuna Consortium from 2024 to 2026 (“Project”). The Indonesian Tuna Consortium was created in 2019 to coordinate a cross-sector approach to developing science-based policies and regulations, implement social and economic programs to improve fisher livelihoods, and integrate these policies into a holistic harvest strategy for tuna fisheries in Indonesia’s archipelagic waters. The goal of the consortium is to bring key stakeholders from across the non-profit, private, and public sectors to establish a harvest strategy that was officially adopted by the Government of Indonesia (GOI) to secure healthy, sustainable tuna fisheries and fisher communities throughout Indonesia. The Phase III Tuna Consortium consists of five member organizations based in Indonesia who are now supporting the Government of Indonesia to implement the Tuna Harvest Strategy in Indonesia’s archipelagic waters.

The Indonesia Tuna Consortium is seeking a consultant to serve as the Strategic Communications Consultant in a short-term capacity with a focus on building and supporting execution of a strong communications strategy and implementation plan for the Tuna Consortium. The consultant will liaise with the five in-country Tuna Consortium members and Resonance, utilizing the recommendations of the team as well as their own expertise in the subject and the audiences targeted, to build a recommended communications strategy with specific activities and products aimed at reaching our main target audiences which can include government stakeholders, fisher communities, the private sector, and the global impact community. The consultant will also support the development of templates, design and drafting of content and materials, and timelines or plans for disbursement of content as requested by Resonance and as aligned with the needs of the project.

This is a consultant position. The consultant will work closely with Resonance, as well as the Tuna Consortium Partners (MDPI, YKAN, IPNLF, Marine Change, and Fair Trade USA) to ensure alignment with the mission of the Indonesia Tuna Consortium. This consultancy may require domestic travel on short notice.
