Established in 1982, INTERIGHTS works to promote respect for human rights through the use of law. It achieves this through a range of activities: strategic litigation through co-representation, legal support to applicants and third party interventions before international, regional, and national human rights courts and bodies; advising lawyers on the use of international and comparative human rights law before their domestic courts; building capacity through litigation partnerships, targeted training activities and internships, and through the dissemination of legal information.
We are looking for an experienced leader who will combine vision and strategic thinking with exceptional people management and alliance-building skills. You will inspire a multi-cultural team to build on INTERIGHTS’ achievements for the future and will spearhead our fundraising activities, ensuring we are positioned as effectively as possible to deliver our strategy. Externally, you will act as an influential ambassador for INTERIGHTS, with high-profile funders, donors and global partner organisations.
A capable and resilient leader with knowledge of the human rights sector, you will also have strong intellect and the ability to grasp complex legal issues quickly. You will represent an international organisation credibly amongst a global stakeholder community, acting as a powerful advocate for our work. Strong communication and interpersonal skills will be essential. Crucially, you will share our passion for the role that law plays in protecting human rights and will be inspired by this opportunity to achieve lasting results for INTERIGHTS and the countries in which we work.
