About the Coalition
The Coalition for Human Rights in Development is a global coalition of social movements, civil society organizations, and grassroots groups working together to ensure that development is community-led and respects, protects, and fulfills human rights. We work with members and partners to ensure communities have information, power and resources to determine their own development, and to hold development finance institutions, governments, and other actors accountable to people, peoples and the planet. Our work includes collaborating with communities and human rights defenders, and supporting them on their campaigns at local, national, regional and international levels.
About the position
The Coalition is seeking a Community Resource Exchange (CRE) Coordinator to serve as part of our international secretariat, and report to the Coalition Director. The CRE Coordinator will coordinate internal staff and partners to ensure the effective implementation of an ambitious 3-year pilot project of the CRE.
The objective of the CRE is to facilitate better exchange of skills, tools and resources with and among communities seeking to defend their rights vis-a-vis international investment and development finance supported activities. The CRE concept has been developed through a multi-year collaborative process, which is now moving into a piloting phase. More about the CRE: Redirect Notice and https://rb.gy/ejpzu4.
The ideal candidate will be empathetic, patient, strategic, and extremely well organised, with a commitment to human rights and dignity. We are looking for a collaborative leader and problem-solver with a can-do attitude, and the ability to build consensus across diverse stakeholders.
While candidates can be based anywhere, and may design their own work hours, we have a preference for those who are available to work between 9:00 am UTC/GMT and 11:30 am UTC/GMT. The person will have to establish a schedule that facilitates collaboration with project staff across multiple time zones.
