Amnesty International (AI) fights injustice on a global scale. To do that well, it needs strong and coherent leadership across each of the regions in which it operates. Developing and rolling out AI’s programme strategy for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), that’s exactly what you’ll provide.
In this high profile role, you’ll lead both the day-to-day running and strategic development of AI’s programme in the MENA region. Managing a substantial budget and a dedicated 30-strong team split between London and AI’s regional office in Beirut, you’ll provide the strategic and political analysis that shapes and drives AI’s human rights agenda across the region. In doing so, you’ll make sure that AI’s work – from the way it approaches research and membership campaigning to government lobbying and the content of our own publications – meet the organisation’s standards and are closely aligned with its wider objectives.
You’ll need an expert knowledge of the political landscape and human rights issues in the region. You must be familiar with the international legal framework around human rights and the requirements of AI’s campaigning work. A strategic thinker with excellent political judgement, you’ll be a powerful communicator. You should be able to get your message across in English and Arabic and, ideally, French. Most important will be the inspirational leadership skills you bring to the role that enable you to bring out the best in a diverse and geographically wide-spread team.
