Head of Statutory Funding
Are you passionate about justice, human rights and the environment? Do you believe in the power of advocacy to make a difference? Do you have a track record of raising statutory funds to advance the goals of an international campaigning organisation?
For 17 years, Global Witness has run pioneering campaigns against natural resource-related conflict and corruption and associated environmental and human rights abuses. From Cambodia to Congo, Sierra Leone to Angola, we have exposed the brutality and injustice that results from the fight to access and control natural resource wealth, and have sought to make accountable the perpetrators of this corruption and conflict. Our work has revealed how, rather than benefiting a country’s citizens, abundant timber, diamonds, minerals, oil and other natural resources can incentivise corruption, destabilise governments, and lead to war. Through our investigations, advocacy and campaigning, we seek solutions to the ‘resource curse’ so that citizens of resource-rich countries can get a fair share of their country’s wealth.
Global Witness is currently looking for a dynamic and dedicated fundraising professional to join our fundraising team in London to ensure that we raise the funding required to advance and further the organisation’s mission.
