An exciting opportunity has come up in Oxfam's regional office in Nairobi. We are looking for someone to fill a very important role in the Horn East and Central Africa regional team.
The Humanitarian Policy and Campaigns Adviser is an essential link between our work in some of the world's most challenging emergencies (including South Sudan, DRC, Kenya and Somalia) and the regional and global powers we seek to influence.
The post-holder works closely with country teams on their humanitarian advocacy responses, providing strategic leadership and regional political expertise. As part of a diverse global team, they bring together Oxfam's campaigners and lobbyists around the world to influence international and regional targets including the AU, the UN and the OIC. The post-holder also directly lobbies regional actors, as well as forging and nurturing links with regional thinkers and civil society activists.
We're looking for an excellent strategic thinker, with strong people management skills, who is a persuasive communicator, and who has proven knowledge of humanitarian issues and interest in regional politics. The post-holder needs to be able to work in fast-moving crises, as well as have the creativity and tenacity to work on longer-term emergencies. The post is based in Nairobi with extensive travel to countries in the region.
The closing date is 8th February and the job details can be found at http://www.i-grasp.com/fe/tpl_oxfam.asp?newms=jj&id=39942&
