About the role

The IEC is looking for a highly experienced and accomplished Human Resources professional to support the aims of AI and who can complement the experience and skills of the current members.
The IEC is looking for someone who supports the aims of AI and who can complement the experience and skills of the current members to strengthen the oversight role, bringing high levels of experience and achievement in human resources and organizational development.
You will attend four three-day meetings per year in/near London, the first being on 23-25 March 2012, and will also participate in some sub-committees and AI’s biennial International Council meeting. The total time commitment will be about 25 days annually, mostly during weekends.
About you
Suitable candidates will have excellent professional achievement in human resources and organization development, including overseeing major change with accountability at a level equivalent to Senior Director or Board Member or above in a successful international organization. Understanding of the non-profit sector and capability to work with diverse and multicultural teams are also very important. Experience of the decentralisation of a large organization, working with trade unions and knowledge of UK employment legislation and practice are also desirable.
With the highest level of personal integrity, effective communication, willingness to contribute the necessary time and effort and a strong commitment to the aims of AI.
About us
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
AI is committed to equality of opportunity throughout the organization and these positions are therefore open to any qualified individual irrespective of nationality, domicile, race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation or all other personal characteristics.
Membership of the IEC is not remunerated, however reasonable travel and related expenses will be covered by AI.
