Job Description

About us

Our vision is simple: we want a better world - where corruption is challenged and accountability prevails, all can thrive within the planet’s boundaries, and governments act in the public interest.

We’re pioneers and innovators in tackling natural resource misuse, conflict and corruption: issues that are assumed to be inevitable or intractable or which are simply not recognised at all. 

About the role

Reporting to the Director of Campaigns, Planning and Evaluation you’ll create strategic direction for the Forests, Land and Climate campaigns.  

You’ll lead and inspire a team of experienced campaigners and policy advisors to deliver innovative and powerful campaigns that achieve change in the world.

Representing Global Witness externally you’ll bring attention to the issues we’re working on with the media, governments, peer organisations and other audiences.

About you

Having worked in a similar leadership role in an international NGO you’ll be confident managing cross-functional and global teams.

You’ll have a strong background in campaigning, advocacy and ideally investigations, possessing impressive political judgement and management skills.  The proven ability to get the best out of people is vital too; trusting, developing and enabling your team to do amazing work. 

Above all we know that the best results happen when we work together so you’ll bring a collaborative approach to achieve change.

Working for us

We aim to be a diverse and inclusive place to work.  We value new perspectives, original ideas and different ways of working. We believe that different views and experiences improve the way we do our work. We do our best to make our jobs accessible to all regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation or identity. 

We offer an excellent benefits package including a competitive salary and 25 days holiday (exc. Bank holidays) private medical insurance and flexible working arrangements.
