The Role:

The Campaigns Lead will play a key leadership role in designing and coordinating ActionAid’s new global campaign on climate finance, which aims to shift billions out of climate crimes and into people-led green alternatives.  You will also be a key contributor to the creation of joined-up public engagement strategies and tools  to significantly expand AAI’s base of popular support in both Global North and Global countries. You will help evolve ActionAid’s campaign vision, signature, and toolbox in response to the changing external landscape, with particular attention to learning from new forms of organising, mobilising, and movement-building both in the Global South and Global North.

Who?we’re looking for: 

• You will have substantial senior-level experience of developing and project managing international campaigns rooted in the Global South and with a strong grassroots component.
• You’ll bring a collaborative feminist leadership approach and demonstrated ability to build effective teams and deliver results in the face of competing priorities, limited budgets and impossible deadlines. You’ll excel in relationship-building, both internally and externally.
• You’ll work equally well with fundraisers and comms staff, policy and programmes people, and external allies – understanding and balancing their different needs from campaigns.
• Ideally, you’ll be familiar with climate justice and specifically with divest/invest movement, but more importantly you’ll have sharp political instincts, able to get on top of the changing policy and power landscape quickly and evolve strategy and tactics to match.

What we offer:

ActionAid is committed to providing a welcoming, supportive workplace where we recognise a job well done, encourage close collaboration and sharing power, and where safeguarding standards and feminist leadership are exemplified everywhere. At ActionAid, you can look forward to a fair?compensation package and a flexible working environment, including

• A workplace that embraces intersectional feminist principles 
• Generous maternity, paternity and adoption pay
