Oxfam International is an equal opportunities employer, committed to diversity within the workplace.

One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilizing the power of people against poverty.

Around the world, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. 

We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.

This post will be part of the OI Secretariat, and Oxfam’s Inequality (Even It Up!) Campaign Team, which operates remotely across the globe.

In October 2015, Oxfam launched a new monumental global campaign to end economic inequality. Even It Up is currently active across 30+ countries worldwide, of which over half are in the global south.

We are looking for an exceptional senior campaigner to provide crucial leadership and support to the engagement of campaigns teams from the global south in the Even It Up campaign – ensuring momentum, resourcing and alignment between the global to regional and national objectives and strategies, and across Oxfam teams. 

The successful candidate will contribute significantly to the ongoing power analysis and strategic direction of the campaign, and provide leadership and oversight on key global campaign projects and activities.

The successful applicant will have extensive experience with building and implementing dynamic and successful campaigns and advocacy strategies at the global level and in the global south, as well as a strong understanding of principles for successful influencing of political and private sector targets in the global south specifically. 

S/he will have keen leadership skills, with an ability to lead and navigate complex group dynamics to build collaborative relationships and to lead the development and implementation of large projects.

Fluency in English required. French and Spanish fluency would be advantageous to the post holder.
