The Middle East and North Africa Regional Office is now seeking an experienced human rights expert to be based in Tunis to manage our research work on North Africa and develop strong strategies to document human rights abuses and violations, as well as to advocate for justice and the protection and promotion of human rights.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Reporting to the Middle East and North Africa Regional Director, the Deputy Director for Research (North Africa) will coordinate the development and implementation of the research and advocacy strategies for the sub-region, as well as supporting broader regional thematic issues where relevant. You will contribute to deliver powerful regional and country research reports and other publications that inspire people to act. You will manage a group of experienced researchers and human rights experts and develop and oversee innovative research strategies and methodologies. You will represent Amnesty International in the field and elsewhere, including with senior government officials, media, peer organizations and other audiences.
At the same time, you will work closely with the Regional Director to manage the regional operation, manage budgets and motivate and inspire regional staff. Indeed, you will be integral to the corporate management of the International Secretariat, deputizing for the Regional Director whenever necessary.
ABOUT YOU
You will be an expert on the human rights context in the region, with a strong background in research and advocacy, possessing impressive political judgement and management skills. You are likely to come to us from a similar role with another human rights organization and will have first-hand knowledge of the North Africa region. The proven ability to get the best out of people is vital too, whether that is through coaching, mentoring, capacity building or training.
Having worked in a similar leadership role in a complex human rights organization, you have no problem managing cross-functional, multi-cultural teams; and you certainly know how to adjust priorities, hit deadlines and adapt to fast-changing political situations. You have excellent external representational skills. Above all, you have the collaborative and creative approach needed to generate human rights agendas that resonate and get results. You will have excellent written and oral English and Arabic; French language skills are desirable.
