Friedrich-Ebert-StiftungAdministration and Communication Manager
Sep. 2018Bab Idriss, Beirut Governorate, LebanonOver the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of overseeing the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Lebanon’s operational, logistical, and communication functions, contributing to its success in a challenging environment.
In my administrative role, I manage day-to-day operations, coordinate with external service providers, and maintain relationships with government institutions, local partners, and other stakeholders. Ensuring smooth operations amidst Lebanon’s unpredictable political and economic conditions has required strategic problem-solving and crisis management skills. This has been especially critical during crises such as Lebanon's economic collapse, the Beirut port explosion, the COVID pandemic, and the 2024 war, where quick decisions were necessary to ensure continuity.
My communication responsibilities began in 2018 with FES Lebanon’s rebranding and relocation. I played a key role in reshaping the organization’s identity and positioning. I developed and executed targeted communication strategies across cinema, TV, digital media, and print to maximize impact. Working closely with cross-functional teams and external agencies, I led advocacy campaigns, media relations, and large-scale events.
I also conceptualized, wrote, produced, and led several impactful media projects:
A Moment of Bliss (2020): A feature film with over 20 international awards, providing a unique perspective on Lebanon’s culture and history.
Nos el Mazeh Jadd (2022): A talk show providing a platform for underrepresented political candidates during Lebanon’s parliamentary elections.
Hide Park Political Podcast (2023): A podcast bridging political divides by fostering constructive dialogue between various political perspectives.
These projects combined communication strategy with media production and have elevated FES Lebanon’s visibility. My work has strengthened the organization’s mission to foster political and social change in Lebanon.
