The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) is an international, not-for-profit research and advocacy organisation that seeks to create costs for the production and algorithmic distribution of hate and disinformation. CCDH has been at the forefront of unmasking how online platforms and search engines drive radicalization and online harm and pollute our information ecosystem. We are agile, influential and have a global impact – with offices in Washington D.C., London, and Brussels, and partners globally.
CCDH is the leading global voice on online harms and advocating for checks and balances on social media companies. Our advocacy has been crucial in the passage of EU & UK legislation that enacts our 1stAmendment-compliant STAR Framework for reform. Our research has led advertisers to take decisive action against platforms, such as withdrawing their ads and joining coalitions to demand change.
Our key areas of focus are identity-based hate; climate denial; public health; and kids, and their mental health. By helping to inform those with interests in these issues about how social media’s algorithms, community standards, enforcement, and monetization affect them, we assert our value, and gain the trust required to drive collective action.
CCDH has grown rapidly since it was founded. Today, CCDH has more than 30 staff, a growing public profile, and a credible path to completing our mission to create permanent change to social media business model incentives and disincentives. Finishing the job means driving transparency and accountability reform in the United States, as well as harnessing the immense power of American brand advertisers to assert that platforms should be mindful of their extraordinary power as the primary means by which we share information, transact business, and create and maintain relationships.
About the role
We are seeking a candidate who is passionate about our mission and wants to be part of a team driving change in one of the most challenging contemporary social issues.
As the Head of Communications, you will be responsible for ensuring the effectiveness, coherence and harmony of CCDH’s voice across the organization, and will manage the organisation’s global marketing, press and entertainment industry teams. Your day-to-day work will require you to ensure our outputs support the goals of the organization, demonstrate high standards of creativity, and help to develop, diversify and professionalize our channels mix.
Your primary operational focus will be on expanding capacity, capabilities, and processes necessary to dramatically scale CCDH’s impact over the next five years.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will work closely with the COO, Head of Research and Head of Policy & Partnerships.
The successful candidate will be supported to develop their own skills and expertise. They will join a team that invests in its employees. We know our work will be at its best if it is created by people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. We are keen to interview people who will add diversity of experience to our team.
