Senior Global Policy Advisor - Forests

Global Witness has a talented team of people worldwide with offices in London, Washington DC and Brussels.  We aspire to be a diverse and inclusive place to work, where difference is respected and celebrated.  We know that a diverse and inclusive workplace is an asset to any organization and that different views and experiences improve the way we work.

Global Witness wants to end environmental and human rights abuses driven by political and corporate elites. We are facing a crisis: the climate is being destroyed and civic freedoms are deteriorating.  Rampant abuse of power is pushing the world to breaking point as governments and big corporations all too often go unchecked in their exploitation of our planet and its people.

You will be a skilled strategist with excellent research and analytical skills to develop and influence financial policy relating to environmental risk. You will have expert knowledge of the global financial sector and its regulatory environment to deliver successful advocacy campaigns, creating new global standards for companies to be held accountable for their human rights and climate impact.

You will have an affinity to Global Witness’ values and objectives and be a great team player. The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and external partners and coalitions is critical in this role, so you must thrive in an environment where you frequently work with others to achieve impact.

This role is based in London or our Washington DC office and therefore to be considered for this role you must be able to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK or US.
