About the role

Growth or governance. Finance or Human Resources. Wherever we need professional support developing operational plans and to achieve a programme’s strategic priorities, you’ll make sure it’s delivered. You’ll be joining our International Mobilization Programme which harnesses Organizational Development to strengthen Amnesty entities worldwide. It’s about capacity building, and developing and mobilizing resources – from standard materials and case studies to tools and techniques. Your input could help our entities grow their base of supporters, boost the quality of their initiatives, comply with local laws and our own policies, or reinforce accountability. Throughout you’ll keep a close eye on the work of different programmes, coordinating regular exchanges of information and acting as a focal point for queries, briefings and strategic advice.

About you

The better you can apply best practice in Organizational Development, the bigger the impact on human rights Amnesty entities will have. So although you don’t need to be an expert, you will need good experience of both the theory and practice of Organizational Development in a multinational setting. You’ll certainly know how NGOs operate; for example, you may have worked as a Programme manager in a development organization. It’s a background that will prove you can identify objectives, develop strategies, plan, prioritise and assess results. What’s more, it will have honed your ability to communicate, collaborate and consult with people all over the world. Fluent English and French are also vital.

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.

Closing date: 11th July 2012.
