Based: London
The International Alert are recruiting a hands-on leader to join our Peacebuilding Issues Programme (PIP), which consists of a team of experts focusing on training, advocacy and research, and on specific issues such as environment and climate change, governance, the economic aspects of peace and gender, providing ideas and practical support on peacebuilding issues and methods.
The applicant, if selected, will manage a team within the PIP, and provide conceptual, strategic and practical leadership and support for Alert’s work influencing the economic policies and practices of governments, international organisations and businesses so they are conflict-sensitive and conducive to peace.
The employee will further develop methods and tools for influencing and improving economic policies and practices, and will play an active role in the design and delivery of research, training, advice and advocacy projects for IA. To be great in this job you are likely, first and foremost, to have a talent for applying a high-level conceptual analysis to generate practical ideas, and tailoring and communicating these to diverse audiences with authority and empathy.
You understand how economic factors make a difference for peace. Having proven experience making a difference on political economy and conflict-sensitivity issues, you possess a track record of developing successful strategies and project proposals, and raising funds from a broad base of institutional donors.
