Description

About the role:


Do you have a genuine interest in working for an organisation tackling online harms - from violent extremism and gender-based violence to disinformation and child online exploitation.

Do you have experience working in this sector and want to develop further?

The Project Assistant role at Moonshot was developed out of the internship programme.

We felt when we offered internships it did not allow the individuals to gain greater exposure to our projects or methodologies and felt a longer time commitment was needed.


A number of our analysts originally joined Moonshot as PAs, however whilst the roles are expected to end after 6 months, we will see whether analyst positions are available at the end but that is all dependent on recruitment needs in addition to performance.


We are currently recruiting a Project Assistant to support the delivery of current countering violent extremism projects, in particular, those analysing and responding to risk online.

In this role you will work closely alongside other project team members, carrying out analysis of social media data and supporting the implementation of responses to individuals at-risk of involvement in violent extremism.


This role will provide insight into the innovative approaches designed by Moonshot to prevent and disrupt online harms, as well as practical experience of implementing these methodologies.


Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting staffing allocation across project teams.
  • Analysis of diverse forms of data, including social media information, violent extremist material and data gathered by our inhouse specialist tools.
  • Support of multiple aspects of project delivery, ranging from strategic communications campaigns, online outreach to atrisk individuals, and research and evaluation projects.
  • Conducting background deskbased research, in particular in relation to violent extremism online.
  • Drafting and editing internal and external company documents.

Requirements:


Essential:

  • A deep interest in violent extremism and evidence of relevant knowledge in this area.
  • A welldeveloped ability to source, interpret and analyse both quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Experience with open source intelligence (OSINT) tools, techniques and procedures.
  • Experience accurately communicating findings and recommendations based on open source data to a range of stakeholders.
  • Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work with accuracy within tight deadlines.
  • Inquisitiveness and adaptability, particularly in relation to new technology and the use of social media for research.
  • Strong written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills.

Desirable:

  • Fluency in languages other than English, in particular Arabic.
  • Knowledge of data science/advanced statistical analysis.
  • Understanding of digital marketing or working with social media data.
  • Specialist knowledge of specific forms of violent extremism.

Benefits

Benefits package:

  • 15 days paid leave.
  • Private healthcare package, including coverage for partners and children.
  • Employee Assistance Programme providing access to mental health support.
  • Generous maternity and paternity package.

Salary:
