We are seeking a highly-motivated and experienced Campaign Leader to lead our campaign to break the links between natural resources, conflict and corruption in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This will involve managing a skilled team investigating resource-fuelled corruption and conflict in DRC, developing campaign strategies, writing reports, carrying out high-level advocacy and working with the media.

Billions of dollars’ worth of DRC’s natural resource wealth is siphoned off to benefit a small elite or used by abusive armed groups to fund conflict – rather than invested in much-needed development in the country. Our campaign seeks to expose the players and change the rules of the game by influencing policy within DRC and internationally.

Applicants must have proven campaigning experience that has resulted in policy changes at the highest level, first-hand experience of field or corporate investigations, excellent verbal and written communication skills and experience of managing staff. The ability to speak and write in French is essential, and knowledge of the extractive industries and supply chain issues will be an advantage.
