Use your experience as a human rights campaign strategist to
respond to some of our most critical campaigning issues. Working within the
Individuals at Risk Team, 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. You will work to develop and support effective action on
behalf of individuals and communities through developing campaign plans and
techniques. You will prepare relevant materials and deliver appropriate
communications and advice to multiple stakeholders in global locations.
Spotting opportunities for action, you'll decide on effective strategies and
tactics, coordinating the delivery of Amnesty International’s campaigns,
increasing the effectiveness across the wider movement.
ABOUT YOU:
You will be confident in developing and managing an effective portfolio of
casework for campaigning and deliver these in an ethical way. You will be
highly motivational and have experience in mobilizing individuals, communities
and human rights defenders at imminent risk. Your confidence and expertise to
identify relevant information quickly, understand what's key and pinpoint the
most effective means of communication will provide authoritative advice and
support to staff. Flexible enough to adapt your approach as priorities change,
you will also bring us a real flair for innovation and will act as a reliable
post within the organisation.
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.
