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.
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 the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.
This post will be part of the OI Secretariat, and Oxfam’s Inequality (Even It Up!) Campaign Team, which operates remotely across the globe.
In October 2015, Oxfam launched a new monumental global campaign to end economic inequality. Even It Up is currently active across 30+ countries worldwide, of which over half are in the global south.
We are looking for an exceptional senior policy and advocacy professional to provide strategic and functional leadership to the Even It Up campaign’s policy, research and advocacy agenda, and to advise on Oxfam policy across all major Even It Up campaign themes, including inequality, taxation, finance for development, healthcare and education.
The successful applicant will have extensive and demonstrable experience in leading successful lobby and advocacy strategies at the global level, as well as extensive experience providing leadership and guidance to a large network of policy and advocacy professionals – aligning momentum, strategy and analysis to achieve results. S/he will be a team player, who is comfortable working within dynamic and evolving campaigning contexts, with exceptional oral and written communication skills to facilitate dialogue and develop high-quality internal and external policy and advocacy products.
French and Spanish fluency would be advantageous to the post holder.
Applicants will be considered in all locations where Oxfam has an office, though location will ultimately be confirmed based on our ability to secure an employment contract in a mutually agreeable location.
Fluency in English required and competence in French and/or Spanish is desirable.
