Media Officer (Temporary)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes: About MSF USA (organization description) maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should create sections based on content: Role Overview (maybe About the role), Responsibilities (the department accountabilities and role specific outcomes), Qualifications (Desired Qualifications & Experience), Skills (Technical Competencies, Behavioral Competencies maybe). Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present, so omit. Also we should not repeat job title. Also we should not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes a lot of text; we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must output only HTML fragment.
We need to parse the posting and extract sections.
Let's identify sections:
- About MSF USA (organization description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role overview. The posting includes "Role Overview" after organization description. So we can have About the role
with paragraph(s) containing the role overview text.
- Responsibilities: The posting includes "Department Accountabilities" and then bullet-like paragraphs (but not actual bullet list). It lists many responsibilities: External Communications, Public Engagement & Advocacy, Brand Positioning, Content Creation, Advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Then "Role Specific Outcomes" with subpoints: Media Relations Planning, Media Relations Outreach, External Communications (again?), Artist and Creator Engagement, Build and maintain relationships..., Cross Functional Work, Brand Positioning (again?), Media Monitoring & Analysis, Media Training. Also "These core accountabilities should not be construed..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can put them in - list items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert those paragraphs into list items.
We need to decide grouping: maybe combine all responsibilities into one
under Responsibilities.
- Qualifications: "Desired Qualifications & Experience" includes: Min. 3-5 years media or public relations experience, preferably with a nonprofit organization or creative agency, plus a bachelor’s degree, or equivalent combination of education and experience. Professional knowledge and understanding of media and social media landscape, combined with solid news judgment. Familiarity with relationship management with journalists, artists and their representation, and content creators. Experience working with multiple teams across different organizati (cut off). We'll keep as is.
- Skills: The posting includes "Technical Competencies" list: Plans and Aligns, Financial Acumen, Tech Savvy, Data Collection and Analysis, Project Management Skills, Presentation And Written Communication Skills (duplicate?), Organizational Insight, Supervisory Responsibility. Also "Behavioral Competencies" with many subcategories: THOUGHT, People Focus, Manages Complexity, Global Perspective, Cultivate Innovation, Strategic Mindset, RESULTS, Drives Results, Ensures Accountability, PEOPLE, Collaborates, Communicates Effectively, Values Differences, Builds Effective Teams, Manage Conflicts, Build Networks, Drives Vision and Purpose, SELF, Instills Trust, Manages Ambiguity, Situational Adaptability, Being Resilient. These are many; we can list them as items.
We need to avoid filler like "These core accountabilities should not be construed..." maybe that's boilerplate but it's part of responsibilities description; we should keep it? It's a note that these core accountabilities should not be construed to contain every function... That's substantive? It's a disclaimer; maybe we can keep as a paragraph after list.
We must not include duplicated lines. There's duplication of "External Communications" appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines. So if "External Communications" appears twice under responsibilities, we should keep only one instance. Also "Brand Positioning" appears twice. We'll deduplicate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role
then with role overview text: "Reporting to the Media Relations Director, the Media Officer implements communications plans to secure high-impact US media and social media attention to MSF’s medical humanitarian activities, expertise, and concerns; conducts proactive and reactive media work and collaborates with colleagues across the organization and the international communications networks to support media strategy and objectives. This role will focus on visibility and engagement opportunities for MSF thought leaders, partners, and high-profile supporters. The role will lead the celebrity and influencer strategy for the communications team, working cross functionally with the community fundraising team and major gifts team to pilot innovative projects involving talent and high-profile donors to expand the organization’s reach. This could include digital campaigns, influencer marketing partnerships, and speaking engagements and events."
We might also include the organization description? The instruction says "About the role" heading; maybe we should include organization description under About the role? Usually "About the role" is role overview; organization description could be separate "About MSF USA". But they didn't list that as a possible heading; they gave examples but not exclusive. Could add
About MSF USA
but not in examples. Safer to stick to given examples; we can include organization description in About the role paragraph as part of role overview? Might be okay.
But we have "About MSF USA | Doctors Without Borders" at start; we could include that as a brief intro paragraph before About the role. However instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." The organization description is not metadata; it's substantive. Could be its own section like "About the organization". But not in examples; but we could still use
About MSF USA
. The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can add other headings if needed. But to be safe, we could incorporate the organization description into About the role paragraph.
Let's do: About the role
... organization description + role overview.
Now Responsibilities: Responsibilities
- ... items.
We need to list each distinct responsibility.
Let's extract from Department Accountabilities:
- Develop and distribute external communications products across multiple channels to raise awareness of humanitarian needs, advocate for patients and communities, engage with audiences, and achieve strategic objectives.
- Identify significant medical humanitarian issues and execute integrated communications plans to increase public awareness, audience engagement, and support for advocacy priorities.
- Develop and contribute to brand strategy, positioning, and tactics to increase brand visibility.
- Produce and support external communications content across audiences and channels, including for the website, social media, and live events.
- Promote DEI principles across all communications products and channels.
From Role Specific Outcomes:
- Develop tactical media relations plans, build media lists, identify and develop story ideas to pitch to journalists working with US-based media to increase visibility of MSF’s programs, advocacy initiatives, and expertise.
- Execute media plans for specific issues, contexts, or events to keep a US audience informed about MSF’s work. This could include events run by MSF or participation in larger events run by other brands and organizations.
- Write, edit, and distribute press releases, campaign briefs, talking points, and other communications materials to support media relations and digital campaign plans within established systems and procedures.
- Identify and engage with social creators to build new relationships in support of MSF’s work; encourage engagement on social channels to reach new audiences and broaden awareness.

- Work with MSF major gift officers to support partner communications and donor announcements.
- Work with external vendors on broader talent engagement program (celebrity and influencer strategy) in partnership with Community Fundraising and Major Donors teams that sit within MSF Development.
- Execute media plans and tactics to increase brand visibility. (duplicate of brand strategy? We'll keep one.)
- Support monitoring and evaluation of media coverage and make recommendations based on data.
- Conduct or support spokesperson briefing and training for specific media interviews and general capacity building to strengthen communications impact.
Also "These core accountabilities should not be construed to contain every function/responsibility that may be required to be performed by an incumbent in this job. Incumbents are required to perform other functions as assigned." We'll keep as a paragraph after list.
Now Qualifications:
Qualifications
- ... items.
List:
- Minimum 3-5 years media or public relations experience, preferably with a nonprofit organization or creative agency, plus a bachelor’s degree, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Professional knowledge and understanding of media and social media landscape, combined with solid news judgment.
- Familiarity with relationship management with journalists, artists and their representation, and content creators.
- Experience working with multiple teams across different organizations (the text cut off; we keep as is: "Experience working with multiple teams across different organizati" maybe incomplete; we should preserve exactly as given? It ends mid-word. We'll keep the text as is: "Experience working with multiple teams across different organizati". Might be weird but we must preserve.
Now Skills: Could combine Technical Competencies and Behavioral Competencies.
Technical Competencies list:
- Plans and Aligns: Planning and prioritizing work to meet commitments aligned with MSF-USA goals.
- Financial Acumen: Interprets and applies to understanding key financial indicators to make better business decisions.

Serves as an example of adaptability and provides guidance and support to help others adapt to new situations. Considering the needs of clients, constituents, and the organization shifts priorities appropriately. (This seems duplicated with Situational Adaptability later; but we keep.)
- Organizational Insight: Applying knowledge of MSF-USA and industry to advance the organization’s goals.
- Supervisory Responsibility: May supervise the media support work of office volunteers, interns, and/or work-study students for specific clerical, administrative, or research projects, as required. Carries out supervisory responsibilities in accordance with the organization's policies and applicable laws.
Behavioral Competencies list (many). We'll list each as item.
But we need to avoid duplication: "Presentation And Written Communication Skills" appears also under Behavioral? Actually it's under Technical Competencies; later there is "Presentation And Written Communication Skills" again? I see after Technical Competencies there is a line: "Presentation And Written Communication Skills Adapts approach and demeanor in real time to match the shifting demands of different situations. Serves as an example of adaptability and provides guidance and support to help others adapt to new situations. Considering the needs of clients, constituents, and the organization shifts priorities appropriately." That's same as earlier; it's duplicate. We'll keep one.
