Regional Campaigns & Communications Manager – Latin America and the Caribbean

Regional Campaigns & Communications Manager – Latin America and the Caribbean £26,843 - £36,006 Mexico

The work Oxfam does in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is vital to overcoming poverty in the region. Our focus is on development and building better lives for people in the area. And shaping an effective regional campaigns and communications strategy has a crucial part to play. You’ll be the driving force behind it.

The role In this high profile role, you’ll do all you can to maximise the impact of Oxfam’s programme and advocacy in the LAC region. That means working closely with Oxfam International to design and develop a media and communications strategy that meets the needs of the region, and Oxfam’s global vision too. It also means leading a programme of campaign, policy, media and communication efforts for the region – overseeing the delivery of humanitarian work such as the Food Justice (FJ) campaign. So it’ll be up to you to review and shape organisational objectives, make sure that every campaign is delivered to the requirements of the region and generate good coverage of the work we do. And as you would expect at this level, you’ll do more than oversee the operational side of things. You’ll also motivate and coach the campaigns and communications project managers – taking a proactive approach to developing their ability, and ultimately helping to build our image on a global scale.

What we’re looking for Coming from a background in campaigns and policy work, you’ll bring extensive knowledge of the industry and a solid understanding of international poverty and economic development – particularly that affecting Latin America and the Caribbean. Practiced in all things media and communication, you’ll be aware of the national and global mass media and have no problem adapting your efforts to a changing environment. While your ability to think strategically means you’ll offer sound judgement across a far-reaching decision-making process. As confident liaising at a country and regional level as you are on a global one, your communication, influencing and interpersonal skills will be second to none. And it’s absolutely vital that you’re a strong leader who’s committed to building collaborative relationships, both directly and indirectly, right across the organisation.

About Oxfam A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.

How to apply To find out more about this role and to apply, visit www.oxfam.org.uk/jobs and quote ref: INT4829.

Closing date: 14 September 2011.

Head of Internal Communications (One year maternity cover) Oxford

Much is made of the astonishing work that Oxfam does around the world. And rightly so. But as well as shouting about our successes and grabbing the attention of the world at large, it’s important that we share our achievements and objectives with the 3,700 staff who work with us around the globe and more than 20,000 volunteers in the UK. Likewise, it’s important that we give these people a voice when the big decisions are being made. Heading up our Internal Communications team will be your two-fold challenge.

The role As well as leading the team who deliver on a day-to-day basis, you’ll develop our long term vision for internal communications. Of course, that’ll include spreading the word about our everyday triumphs, but you’ll also need to focus on a number of strategic initiatives. One of them is ”Grow”, Oxfam’s new global campaign on food justice. . Another is moving our international confederation to a truly integrated “One Oxfam” globally. Building on our assertion that communication is a two-way dialogue, you’ll also be there to bridge the gap between senior managers and those in the field – making sure that a range of views are heard. So you see, the responsibilities extend way beyond a typical internal communications role. But then, where else would you have direct access to the CEO and Board of Directors, and gain the kind of exposure you’ll experience here?

What we’re looking for To rise to the challenge, you’ll need considerable internal communications experience. Ideally, you’ll have worked at an organisation with a strong social mission, and you’ll certainly have spent time working with an organisation of a similar size and global reach. Strong team leadership skills are a must - the kind that enable you to draw on individual talents to deliver complex projects. Because our staff are based in more than 30 countries, the role calls for an excellent knowledge of online communication, e-learning and social media. But perhaps most important is that you have a genuine passion for communication in all its forms and a deep understanding of the crucial role it plays in an organisation like ours.

About Oxfam A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours, too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.
