About us

Global Witness wants to protect the planet’s vital and finite resources. In this climate emergency, our ambition and momentum have grown. We want to address the underlying causes of the world’s natural resource exploitation. We want to hold companies and governments to account for their disregard of environmental destruction and human rights abuses they cause.

About the role

Alongside your job share partner you will lead our campaign to protect the world’s climate-critical forests by curbing the financing of deforestation, pushing for significant legislative changes and deepening our relations with partner NGOs affected by deforestation.

About you

You excel at creating and leading successful global campaigns, bringing your advocacy experience and political acumen, as well as your knowledge on the financing behind environment and human rights destruction.

You will use your leadership and management expertise to lead an effective, collaborative and international team and to make a positive contribution to the broader organisation to support Global Witness’ values and purpose. 

Finally, as a flexible, co-operative and a keen communicator, you thrive in a participatory environment.
