Kenya: Regional Campaigns Manager - Oxfam GB

The 10 countries that make up the HECA region face some of the most challenging humanitarian situations in the world. Nowhere is real and lasting change more urgent. Nowhere are your campaigning and advocacy skills more pertinent. Which is why we need you to help us make a sustainable difference to the lives of millions in the region.

Be challenged
The problems facing the HECA region are diverse and far-reaching – and so are our programmes to address them. Your challenge will be to deliver powerful communications that drive our regional strategy forward. Providing leadership and strategic direction to the rest of the team, you’ll identify priority issues and develop media, campaign and advocacy work that inspire, compel and motivate decision makers to take action. In the process, you’ll play a key role in representing Oxfam GB as the senior spokesperson for our lobbying and media work.

Be involved
You’re a highly motivated leader with an impressive history of policy and campaigns work that spans media management and global campaigning, including pan-African campaigns. Comfortable dealing with the media, government officials and key stakeholders at all levels, you have the skills and experience to develop effective strategies against a complex political background. What’s more, you have the charisma and communication skills needed to make people sit up and listen.

Be Oxfam
A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.
