Campaign Coordinator - Tactical Campaigns Amnesty International

London
£41,124 per annum
Fixed-term contract to December 2012

Use your experience as a human rights campaign strategist to respond to some of our most critical campaigning issues. In our Tactical Campaigns Unit, you’ll react quickly to emerging priorities – assessing changing situations quickly, capitalising on your political judgement and inspiring worldwide action within days.
About the role
The urgent human rights issues that we need to bring to the world’s attention are hugely varied. All of them, however, demand creative campaigns that are well-researched, well-planned and well-managed – despite the time pressures that surround them. Spotting opportunities for action, you’ll decide on effective strategies and tactics, always looking to capitalise on political opportunities. You’ll also draft, review and advise on campaign strategies and materials and meet daily with our key team to review major issues and developments. At every stage you’ll collaborate with key stakeholders, both internal and external, to make sure campaigns are consistent, streamlined, and get results.
About you
Probably working for a charity, NGO, or government body, you’ll have already developed national and international campaigns. So you’ll know how to harness everything from on-street activism to online digital tools. As a result, you’ll have the confidence and expertise to identify relevant information quickly, understand what’s key and pinpoint the most effective means of communication. Flexible enough to adapt your approach as priorities change, you’ll also bring us a real flair for innovation and a talent for project management – particularly important when time pressures are intense. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are vital too so you can generate motivational campaign materials that connect with a range of target audiences as well as inspire those you work with.
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. 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.
Closing date: 22nd April 2012.
