Regional Activism and Youth Coordinator - Asia Pacific
For 50 years, we've been campaigning
for human rights wherever justice, freedom and truth are denied. We've
reshaped policies, challenged governments and taken corporations to
task. In doing so, we've changed thousands of lives for the better. Join
Amnesty at our regional office in Bangkok and you will too.
ABOUT THE ROLE
In this role in one of our newest
regional offices, you'll have a huge opportunity to make a difference -
both to activism in Amnesty International (AI) and to young people
across Asia-Pacific. Coordinating the development and delivery of
activism and youth strategies, plans and projects, you'll inspire,
empower and help mobilise a new generation of activists and ensure their
active participation in a uniquely challenging human rights landscape.
And we'll also look to you to provide support and advice to our national
teams and expertly grow their capacity and activist structures. Doing
that well means analysing current trends and sharing advanced
mobilisation techniques with the global movement. All while working
closely with activism and youth coordinators in the region and with the
global Activism and Youth team, keeping in mind our overarching
strategies and doing everything in your power to deliver high-quality,
activism and youth-focused solutions.
ABOUT YOU
You'll be an experienced campaigner
who understands the strategy, methodologies and tactics behind making an
impact. You'll also have plenty of experience of activism and
membership organisations - really knowing what it takes to mobilise
people and adapt campaigns to audiences from different cultures and
geographies. But in addition to being able to support others to develop
skills to write inspirational, informative materials and use online and
offline techniques to their best effect, you'll have a particular focus
on youth work. You have a solid understanding of active youth
participation mechanisms and have experience of growing a vibrant and
active youth constituency. This will be something you can do fluently in
at least one Regional language and English. Beyond that, you'll also be
confident planning and managing multiple projects and show fine
judgement when it comes to campaign capacity building, leveraging
technology to and communicating in a multicultural setting.
ABOUT US

movement of more than 7 million people who campaign for a world where
human rights are enjoyed by all.
We reach almost every country in the world and have:
- More than 2 million members and supporters who drive forward our fight for rights

Benefits include 37 days annual leave (inclusive of public holidays and grace days), pension scheme, employee assistance programme, life assurance and many more benefits designed to suit your own personal lifestyle. All of this, in a professional, engaging environment.
