You will be adaptable, creative and innovative, tailoring your approach to the specific characteristics of each opportunity, along with having acquired a keen eye for detail and accuracy. You are knowledgeable about peacebuilding and international development; possess excellent writing skills and a flair for grasping key ideas and actions through a combination of desk research and consultation and discussion with colleagues and partners. You will also have worked in the field, thus drawing on personal implementation and monitoring and evaluation experiences in designing new projects.

In turn Alert will offer you the exciting opportunity to be involved with developing and expanding our presence overseas and be part of a team of peers working in Alert’s programmes to strengthen the quality and impact of our peacebuilding.

In your application, please indicate the full job title and the team (South and South East Asia OR Africa) of the role you are applying for.

Please note we do not accept CVs.

International Alert is an equal opportunities employer. All applicants will be judged strictly on the basis of merit.
