Job Vacancy at Oxfam

Job Details

One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilizing the power of people against poverty.

Are you a dynamic, strategic and organised leader? Can you inspire action from colleagues around the world to work towards a common vision? Have you run great campaigns that have achieved real impact for people? Have you worked in a wide variety of countries across the world? Do you combine visionary leadership and collegiate management skills? Are you dedicated to achieving women’s rights and gender justice? If so, you are the person we’re looking for to be our head of humanitarian campaigns.

We need someone who can be diplomatic and sensitive, as well as a strong motivator to lead people around the world to work together to deliver outstanding humanitarian campaigns and advocacy. You must have the ability and skills to empower colleagues with the tools they need to achieve the greatest impact possible. Knowledge of the failings of the humanitarian system and how to address them, as well as experience in contexts affected by conflict would be an advantage.

Around the world, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of women living in poverty influence the local and global decisions that affect them. In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women to end the injustices that cause poverty.

Oxfam International is an equal opportunities employer, committed to diversity within the workplace. Fluency in English required and competence in French, Spanish and/or Arabic is desirable.
