English Editorial Coordinator

At the core of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Canada’s identity is a commitment to medical ethics, independence, neutrality, and impartiality. We go where people’s medical needs are greatest. These ideals have driven every aspect of our work – from medical care and logistical coordination, to finance and communications – since MSF was established in 1971.

Impact Statement

MSF Canada’s Communications Department is responsible for achieving brand visibility by disseminating information about MSF across mass media, including press, web and social media platforms. Increasingly, the Communications Department seeks to not only broadcast information but to engage audiences in ongoing narratives related to humanitarian issues, current events, operational transparency and organizational accountability. The Communications Department disseminates stories about workers returning from international assignments, as well as news stories, photos and videos from the more than 70 countries where MSF works.

The English Editorial Coordinator reports to the Editorial Manager and works closely with the English Editor and the communications, digital and fundraising teams – and other departments as needed – to help raise awareness across Canada of MSF’s medical humanitarian work. In collaboration with the English Editor, they must ensure adherence to MSF style guidelines and voice in all written English content assigned to their review.

The English Editorial Coordinator may write, translate using software, edit, or review written and digital content in English, and support the English Editor in the editorial process for all MSF Canada print and digital content. Additionally, the English Editorial Coordinator may provide dedicated reviews of English digital materials in particular (e.g., digital ads, email copy, web donation pages, etc.) to ensure digital best practices (e.g., SEO, AEO, GEO, WCAG, etc.)

and alignment with MSF Canada’s voice.
