The Opportunity
As Policy and Advocacy Advisor, you will act as the focal point for a minimum of three national partners in relation to project management, grant management and technical support. This will also require coordination across the Equal Measures 2030 Secretariat to ensure projects are connected, leveraged at regional and global levels, and supported by the data, advocacy, communications, and finance teams.
In this role, you will also act as the focal point across the Equal Measures 2030 Secretariat for the learning and capacity building pillar. As a new and growing area of work, you will be required to scope opportunities for growth in this area, leveraging existing strengths like the Data-Driven Advocacy Training Toolkit and the expertise of EM2030’s regional and global partners, as well as supporting the Secretariat in designing a forward-looking approach for the entire pillar.
The Individual
We are looking to recruit a committed individual who has proven experience in working on gender equality and/or international development issues across geographies and contexts. You will be able to develop and execute advocacy strategies and influencing approaches, particularly in the Global South. You will also be required to develop and deliver capacity-building approaches to stakeholders based on adult learning principles and peer-to-peer participatory processes.
To be successful in this role, you will have strong listening/interpersonal skills and also the ability to distance-manage relationships and work effectively with others in diverse locations and cultural contexts. It is essential that you can manage multiple demands, meet deadlines and prioritise workload.
