Programme Manager Environment, Human Rights and Social Impacts

As a Programme Manager for the Bretton Woods Projects you will use your experience of networking, advocacy, and communications and your knowledge of development and environment issues to challenge the power of the World Bank and IMF, open policy space, and promote alternative approaches.

The Bretton Woods Project acts as an information provider, watchdog, networker and advocate. As Programme Manager you will make a real contribution to influencing international financial institutions so they work for poverty eradication, the environment and human rights.

Part of the Project’s management group, you will lead a small team and manage the project’s work on the environmental, human rights and social impacts of World Bank policies and projects, with a current focus on climate finance and energy lending. Day-to-day you will be involved in strategic planning, strengthening our network and monitoring the role of international and UK institutions in the World Bank. Whether directing and conducting research/analysis and documenting relevant policy issues or conducting advocacy at all levels and preparing accessible articles/briefings you will play a key role in the success of the project.

Educated to at least postgraduate degree level or with equivalent experience, you will have developed an in-depth understanding of development, human rights and environment issues. With experience of coordinating NGO networks and of the workings of IFIs, you must have good research skills as well as the ability to produce communications for varying audiences. Having conducted advocacy with government or international institutions, you will be comfortable developing advocacy strategies and have the ability to develop sound policy positions.
