Programme Officer – Special Interest Programme

Oak Foundation (www.oakfnd.org) commits its resources to address issues of global social and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged. With offices in Europe, Africa, and North America, Oak Foundation makes grants to organisations located in 41 countries worldwide.

The Foundation is currently recruiting a Programme Officer for the Special Interest Programme (SIP), based in Geneva, Switzerland.

SIP grants usually fall outside the main programmatic areas of the Foundation. They reflect the special interests of the Foundation’s Trustees and are diverse, covering a number of fields including medical research, humanitarian aid, education, access to the arts and the environment. The SIP team is small with a large portfolio of grants to manage, so the Programme Officers have a lot of responsibility, under the supervision of the Head of Programme. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to deepen and gain expertise on a range of issues and to work with truly inspirational partners from all over the world.
