The Europe and Central Asia Programme of Amnesty International Secretariat is looking for a campaigner to lead its campaigning work on the Balkans.

About the role

Working as part of a team, you’ll develop strategies and actions to mobilize the organization's worldwide membership to campaign effectively against human rights violations. Coordinating actions and supporting both AI and outside networks, you’ll make sure we have the biggest possible impact. It’s about increasing our capacity in the fight for human rights in the Balkans through sustainable growth, building a stable, well-informed constituency of activists and doing it all in line with our international policy and campaigns. So as well as producing campaigning materials and organising events, we’ll expect you to evaluate, monitor, review and report on our ongoing activities.

About you

You will act as a focal point to provide advice to membership on actions, develop campaigning materials for them, and help organize other campaigning events. You will need proven campaigning experience, first hand working experience or knowledge in the Balkans, interest and understanding of human rights and political judgement. You will also need to have the sensitivity to the cultures and peoples of the region, effective writing and communication skills and an understanding of membership organizations.

About us

Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of almost three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
