This will require you relying on extensive relationship-building and people skills and the ability to work collaboratively with others – especially to influence and negotiate decision-making including at most senior levels. Finally, as a member of the Gender & Diversity community within Amnesty, you will also be expected to have significant expert knowledge in at least one policy area that addresses gendered anti-discrimination, intersectional analysis, and the ways that human rights abuses are underpinned by intersecting inequalities. A supportive and collaborative team player, you will be comfortable working collaboratively in an open and constructive way.
