Freelance content creator & coordinator

Are you a creative maker who doesn’t stay behind a desk, but goes into the field to capture the real story? Do you have a sharp eye for social media trends, are you a hero with your smartphone, tech-savvy, and eager to use your skills for tangible humanitarian impact? Then this is your role.

About People for People

People for People Foundation connects the business community to targeted humanitarian aid. We translate collective engagement into rapid, concrete action to restore lives in times of crisis. Founded by the founders of bunq, Picnic and Bird, we combine the power of the private sector to provide fast and targeted support to people affected by crises.

Whether it is delivering a school bus in Ukraine, arranging emergency transport for essential aid supplies within 48 hours, or launching a nationwide campaign for thousands of children in crisis-affected areas: we believe in doing, learning and creating direct impact. No slow bureaucracy, but the speed of a tech scale-up.

Your role

As a Content Creator and Coordinator, you are one of the key voices of our organisation. You help ensure that our work, impact and updates are communicated clearly, impactful and consistently to partners, volunteers and the wider community.

You work closely with and report to our Partnerships & MarCom Lead, turning communication strategies into engaging and creative content and practical execution. You coordinate the planning and distribution of communications, write and produce partner and volunteer updates, newsletters, and help ensure our stakeholders stay informed and connected to our mission.

You are a true maker who brings ideas to life. You manage our social media channels (LinkedIn and Instagram), maintain the content calendar, create engaging visuals and videos using tools such as Canva, and develop communication materials for campaigns, events and partnerships. You also spend time in the field, visiting project locations, such as reception centres, partner events and logistics hubs, to capture authentic stories with your smartphone and turn them into impactful photos, short-form videos (Reels) and other content that showcases our work and inspires action.

Your responsibilities

• On-the-ground storytelling: You travel to our projects and initiatives (such as reception centres or logistics hubs) to gather stories. Using your smartphone, you shoot and edit dynamic videos (Reels), take photographs and interview partners and volunteers.
• Social media & community coordination: You manage and maintain the content calendar for our channels (LinkedIn and Instagram). You write engaging copy, respond to our community and ensure that we remain top-of-mind online with our followers and business partners.
• Content creation & branding: You independently develop all social media assets, newsletters and website updates. You safeguard our renewed brand identity and do not hesitate to use AI tools to create smarter and faster.
• Campaign execution: You support the MarCom Lead in rolling out major impact campaigns and activations. You ensure that all communication assets are online on time, razor-sharp and of high quality.
• Newsjacking & experimentation: You closely follow world news and online trends to respond immediately with relevant content. You continuously test which formats and content perform best and use data insights to optimise our online strategy.
