The London International Media Hub, an overseas branch of the U.S. Department of States Bureau of Global Public Affairs, is seeking a dynamic Administrative & Information Assistant (Urdu/Hindi Speaking) to join our mission-driven team.

Imagine being at the centre of U.S. Government engagement with South Asian media, where your linguistic expertise and cultural insights directly influence how millions understand American foreign policy.

- Track and manage procurement actions, ensuring competitive processes and proper documentation for all acquisitions, such as overseeing contracts for media monitors, social media partners, and staff.
- Handle travel arrangements and office management for seamless operations, including coordinating itineraries, processing travel authorisations, and maintaining office supplies and equipment.
- Prepare comprehensive financial reports and liaise with Embassy financial teams to ensure accurate accounting, timely obligation of funds, and compliance with fiscal year-end requirements.

- Coach and prepare our Hindi-Urdu spokesperson for impactful media interviews.
- Draft and edit compelling Urdu/Hindi video scripts that resonate with audiences.
- Monitor and advise on breaking developments in the Urdu/Hindi press.
