Campaigner, Oil Team

Global Witness is an international organisation that investigates and campaigns to prevent natural resource-related conflict and corruption and associated environmental and human rights abuses. We collect irrefutable evidence through our investigations and combine it with powerful advocacy to force change. 

We are looking for an experienced campaigner to lead Global Witness’ Libya campaign to help build constituencies of support amongst civil society, business and government actors for strengthened transparency in Libya’s oil sector and amongst the international companies operating within it.  This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual to shape a dynamic research, advocacy and campaigning programme.   

You should have significant experience of campaigning for policy change across countries and regions, using a variety of strategies and tactics, be able to write case studies, briefing documents, policy documents and press releases to the highest professional standard for a variety of audiences and have experience of lobbying governments, intergovernmental organisations and companies, with demonstrated impact.  You should also have the ability to research and communicate a comprehensive picture of the Libyan transparency and anti-corruption framework as it stands, and to conduct or oversee research identifying gaps. 

Experience of working in MENA region or with MENA-based organisations including civil society organisations, donors and governments is a distinct advantage, as are Arabic language skills.  The role is London-based with frequent travel to Libya.
