About the roles
AI has different ways to build new presence of its movement globally. From opening new national entities, to developing partnerships, supporting networks of volunteers and innovating new approaches, you will be responsible for the development and implementation of a range of national and regional initiatives. Founded in your knowledge of the region, you will exercise strategic thinking, good project management and sound judgment as you build on our presence and impact.
About you
In addition to a solid foundation of knowledge of the region you should bring a background in supporting the building of movements or supporting development of new projects. You will have an understanding of the link between growth and the mobilisation of a movement to create change, with experience of developing partnerships with Civil Society Organisations & NGOs and excellent project management skills. Equally important are your first-rate communication skills and understanding of human rights and the trends in civil society and activism in your chosen region. Fluency in English is essential. Competency in a relevant regional language is required for some posts. You should have the ability to travel for the role.
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 are denied. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we are applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we are all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
