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. We Spotting opportunities for action, you'll decide on effective campaigning 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
With experience of working on human rights issues, you must have first-hand in-depth knowledge and experience of the socio-political and economic context in the MENA region, and global human rights trends.

Probably working for a charity, NGO, or government body, you'll have already developed national and international campaigns.

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 in English and Arabic, 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.
