Head of Campaigns

Based in Vauxhall, London (with international travel), circa £53,00

It's hard to believe that in today's modern world over 800 million people still don't have access to clean water. It's even harder to believe that a full 2.5 billion don't have access to safe toilet facilities. And if we told you that this situation is killing 4,000 children every day, you would recognise – as we do – that something needs to be done as a matter of urgency.
 
In this key role, you will get these facts across to the widest possible audience and help us address the problem once and for all. As the head of our expanding Campaigns team, you will raise global awareness of the situation, give us an eloquent and persuasive voice, and act as a driving force for positive change. It will be up to you to galvanise international political action and develop an innovative campaigns strategy that makes all the difference to our success.
 
With a track record of leading successful campaigning and advocacy work, managing a team and influencing at government level, you will have an in-depth understanding of the international political landscape. A skilled networker and presenter who is confident dealing with the media, you will be strategically-minded, innovative and dynamic - an inspirational leader with the proven ability to make things happen.
