COMMUNICATIONS & PROGRAMMES OFFICER
Brazil based, full-time self-employed, native Portuguese & fluent English
Who are we?
Delos Dispute Resolution (Delos) is an independent arbitral institution. It was established in 2014 to respond to the needs of businesses globally for time and cost efficiency in the resolution of disputes through arbitration.
In plain English: we help to resolve international commercial disputes, and we’re on a mission to do so better, quicker, at a lower cost. We are a cross between a start-up and an international organisation – demanding on quality and professionalism, in a fun, caring and open global environment. We are looking for a new team member and, in joining us, you will have plenty of scope to grow, create and develop!
What role?
As a Communications & Programmes Officer, you will be responsible for promoting Delos and its activities to the arbitration community, for administering Delos’s training programmes, and for managing Delos’s events and some of the institution’s other activities and programmes. You will also be engaged in a number of Delos projects and support the work of Delos’s President and other team members.
Responsibilities include:
- Administering Delos’s training programmes in conjunction with the team, particularly the Remote Oral Advocacy Programme (ROAP) and the Written Advocacy and Writing Awards (WAWA) programme, both of which are advanced online skills training programmes for arbitration practitioners around the world;
- Organising and supporting Delos’s events and their marketing, preparing and delivering promotional campaigns, and liaising with partners and participants. This includes Delos’s annual conference for the working group of its flagship Guide to Arbitration Places (GAP);
- Managing and supporting Delos’s communications across its various channels, including its website, member area and mailings, and acting as a community manager for Delos. This includes drafting, graphic design, video editing and liaising with partners and other organisations involved in arbitration, amongst other activities; and
Taking part in Delos’s other projects and publications through administrative and logistical assistance, as well as design and communications where needed.
Who are you?
Aside from the philosophical question, you are sharp, independent and proactive; you are fun, caring and thrive in a multicultural environment. You are ambitious to contribute and be part of an entrepreneurial adventure, and you have plenty of common sense. You are thoughtful, reflective, and can also switch gears when speed is needed. You learn fast and have an eerie level of attention to detail.
Your writing and communications skills are excellent, and your language skills (written and spoken) are:
- Native in Portuguese (essential)
- Working proficiency in English (essential)
- Working proficiency in Spanish (advantage)
In addition, you have: a bachelor’s degree in marketing, communication, or related field; excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office; and, ideally, previous experience with emailing tools, Adobe Photoshop (or InDesign), WordPress, and video editing tools. Knowledge of and an understanding of the Lusophone arbitration community is a plus.
This is a full-time remote role based in Brazil. We would like you to start on 2 March 2026.
Why join us?
The team culture is collegiate, we care, and personal growth is important. We work to the standards of a solid legal practice and are keen on mentoring and training. We’re also offering the chance to make a difference within Delos and on a regional and global scale.
This is a great opportunity for professional skills development: professional drafting, rigour, attention to detail, organisation, working as part of a team, 'client' management, and more.
