agenda.
About the role:
As

International, you will play an essential role in enabling the Americas
leadership to meet ambitious human rights objectives. You will be

priorities and complex activities within a short time frame on a daily
basis. You will also have excellent administrative and financial skills
with the ability to monitor budgets for individual programmes and the
Regional Director office as a whole. You also need to have strong
