At SAF International, we believe powerful stories can inspire meaningful change.

We are a Canadian registered charity working across India and Nepal to empower underserved children and families through education, humanitarian relief, community development, and Sikh awareness initiatives.

Every day, our teams witness stories worth sharing — a child receiving an education, a family moving into a safe home, a community rebuilding after a disaster, or a young person discovering recent opportunities.

We're looking for a creative, motivated, and exceptionally strong communicator who can help bring these stories to life.

This isn't a typical marketing position. You'll help shape how thousands of donors and supporters connect with our mission through social media, digital campaigns, compelling storytelling, and fundraising communications.

You'll work closely with SAF's leadership to execute communication strategies while contributing fresh ideas to strengthen our digital presence, inspire generosity, and grow our community of supporters.

What You'll Do

Social Media & Digital Communications

- Manage SAF International's social media presence, including content planning, copywriting, scheduling, and audience engagement.
- Develop and maintain a consistent social media content calendar.
- Create engaging captions, stories, reels concepts, and campaign messaging that reflect SAF's mission.
- Monitor social media performance, identify opportunities for growth, and recommend improvements.
- Stay informed about digital trends and introduce creative approaches to strengthen audience engagement.

Fundraising Campaigns & Donor Engagement

- Develop compelling fundraising messages and campaigns that inspire people to give.
- Work with leadership to plan and execute seasonal appeals, emergency campaigns, and donor engagement initiatives.
- Write persuasive donor emails, newsletters, campaign announcements, and other fundraising communications.
- Help develop strategies to attract new supporters while strengthening relationships with existing donors.




- Support the creation of annual reports, impact reports, and other donor-facing publications.

Storytelling & Content Development

- Transform real stories from our programs into meaningful content for social media, websites, newsletters, and fundraising campaigns.
- Coordinate with our international teams to gather photographs, videos, testimonials, and program updates.
- Interview staff, volunteers, and program participants to uncover compelling stories.
- Write clear, engaging, and emotionally resonant content that communicates both human impact and measurable results.
- Ensure all storytelling respects the dignity and privacy of the communities we serve.

Communications Planning & Brand Consistency

- Assist in developing and executing SAF's annual communications plan.
- Contribute creative ideas and strategic recommendations for upcoming campaigns.
- Maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity across communications channels.
- Coordinate content requirements, timelines, and deliverables with internal teams.
- Support website content updates, public announcements, media releases, and special projects.

What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in marketing, communications, social media management, content creation, or a related field.
- Exceptional English writing skills, with the ability to create compelling stories, persuasive fundraising messages, and engaging social media content.
- Strong understanding of social media platforms, digital marketing, and audience engagement.
- Creative thinking with the ability to turn ideas into practical campaigns and content.




- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines independently.
- Strong attention to detail, including grammar, tone, accuracy, and brand consistency.
- Comfortable collaborating with colleagues across different countries and time zones.
- Familiarity with tools such as Canva, Mailchimp, Meta Business Suite, or similar digital marketing platforms.
- A proactive attitude, willingness to learn, and ability to contribute ideas rather than simply wait for instructions.

Strong Assets
- Experience working with nonprofit organizations, charities, or fundraising campaigns.
- Proficiency in spoken or written Panjabi.
- Familiarity with Sikh culture, values, and community traditions.
- Experience developing short-form video concepts, reels, and digital storytelling.
- Knowledge of email marketing, donor engagement, and CRM platforms.
- Experience using analytics to improve campaign performance.
