Jobs in international development

Director

London-based
Salary: £57,316 plus non-contributory pension

The World Development Movement (WDM) is a vibrant organisation campaigning for a fairer world. Working in solidarity with activists, we tackle the causes of poverty. We research and promote positive alternatives that put the rights of poor communities before the interests of big business.

After four years with WDM, the current Director is moving overseas to pursue her interest in global justice at the grassroots level.

You will be joining WDM at an exciting time. With the ongoing global economic crisis, caused in part by an unaccountable finance sector, we are cutting to the heart of the power of the City of London, with campaigns on food speculation and investment in dirty energy projects. We are also at the centre of the growing food sovereignty movement in the UK. The current Director leaves WDM in a strong position. Public interest in our core issues is rising, as awareness of the systemic failure of unjust economic models comes to light. We are investing significant capacity in supporting and building WDM’s core support with an increasing membership base.

But there are more challenges ahead. You will play a central role in taking WDM even further. You will represent WDM externally, to opinion formers, donors, media and decision makers. You will provide leadership to the organisation and the staff body. Successful experience in managing and delivering organisational strategies, an in-depth knowledge of campaigning coupled with the ability to articulate our agenda for change with clarity, commitment and passion are essential for this position.

If you are interested in the post and believe you meet our requirements, we would very much like to hear from you.

For an informal discussion with the current director, please email deborah.doane@wdm.org.uk, or to discuss with the current chair, pauldehoest@aol.co.uk

Closing date: 29th May 2013
