APEDA Recruitment 2026: 1 Contractual Vacancy for Associate (Branding, Communications & Outreach)

This role is ideal for dynamic professionals holding a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications or Journalism, coupled with a minimum of 3 years of robust experience in media, marketing, or communications. Candidates with a proven track record in managing government or corporate events, PR, digital marketing, and social media, especially with government ministries or PSUs, are highly suitable. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills are essential for driving national and international branding initiatives.

Individuals who do not possess the mandatory Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications/Journalism or lack the essential 3 years of relevant work experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment may find the contractual nature of this position a significant dealbreaker. Applicants unwilling to travel extensively within India or work extended hours occasionally will also find this role challenging.

Working with APEDA, an autonomous organization under a Central Government Ministry, offers a unique opportunity to contribute to national branding efforts for Indian agricultural exports on a global scale. While the engagement is contractual, it provides invaluable exposure to governmental operations, international trade promotion, and strategic communications. This position can significantly enhance one's professional portfolio and open doors to future opportunities in public relations, international marketing, and government sector roles.
