Job Vacancy: Marketing and Communications Specialist

POSTING TITLE: Marketing and Communications Specialist 

LOCATION: UN Global Compact Network Thailand, True Digital Park, Sukhumvit 101, Bangkok, Thailand 

HELP US DELIVER THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN THAILAND  

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the collective plan of global commitments required to end extreme poverty and hunger, tackle climate change, and create a more peaceful, just, and equitable world by 2030. This is a significant multi-stakeholder effort that cannot be delivered by Governments and Civil Society alone. The actions, innovations, and finances of the private sector are critical to our ability to deliver. 

This is where the UN Global Compact comes in: we are the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative with over 18,000 participating companies in 162 countries, and 69 Local Networks around the world. We enable and support companies across all sectors, geographies, and sizes in their efforts to be more responsible and sustainable and help the world achieve the SDGs. 

In Thailand, the UN Global Compact Network Thailand (UNGCNT) plays a pivotal role in connecting businesses, civil society, and the government to accelerate local efforts towards sustainability. By supporting Thai companies in integrating the Ten Principles of the Global Compact, focused on human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, into their business models, we aim to drive meaningful, long-term change. 

Our work in Thailand is part of a larger global movement. We are an ambitious, passionate team dedicated to scaling the impact of responsible business. By empowering companies to be more sustainable, we work together to achieve the SDGs and ensure that business becomes a force for good in creating a more sustainable, resilient world. Through UNGCNT, we actively support local companies, helping them integrate global best practices, adopt innovative solutions, and be accountable to their sustainability commitments.
