About the organization
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre works with diverse allies and partners to put human rights at the core of companies’ business models and end abuse; to support communities and workers in securing their rights and accountability for corporate abuse; and to encourage governments to create the right regulation and incentives to uphold human rights in business. We are a global organization rooted in five continental regions, comprised of a Global Team of 80. Global Team members work with a rich network of human rights advocates in ten languages, and place strong emphasis on our alliances with grassroots organisations facing often profound inequalities of power in protecting their rights. The efforts inform our ability to influence responsible business, investors, and governments for transformative change.
Our work covers the full range of human rights in business, with particular focus on four priority programmes: just energy transition and natural resources; accountable digital technologies; civic freedoms and human rights defenders; and workers’ rights in global supply chains.

This role will have a thematic focus on public engagement in decision-making on climate change and nature. Involve has a commitment to use our skills, time and experience to address big challenges. Climate change is one of those big challenges and is a policy area where citizen engagement on both principles and practice is vital. It, and Net Zero in particular, risk becoming a polarised and politicised issue where there is little room for considered, inclusive decision making. We want Involve’s approach to offer a way through difficult issues like low emission zones and other challenges in a way that centres social justice and equity.
We have a significant track record in public deliberation on climate change. We ran the first Climate Assembly in the UK and have since delivered a number of projects in this area including the People’s Plan for Nature. We have developed a reputation for best practice public dialogue, deliberation and capacity building. We want to grasp the opportunity for deliberative practices to make a real contribution to the change needed to respond to the climate crisis.
This role will primarily sit within our Innovation and Practice (I&P) function but will work closely with our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) and Advocacy and Communications (A&C) functions.
The I&P function is responsible for the deliberative, dialogic and participatory projects and processes that we run. The CB&S function aims to build capacity both inside and outside of public institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public participation in decision-making. The A&C function aims to build political and public understanding of and support for making participation and deliberation an everyday, integral part of our democracy.
The Climate Engagement Lead will play a central role in taking Involve’s work on climate, environment and the just transition forward. It will mean a collaborative approach - co-creating and coordinating our strategy on public engagement through a cross functional work group.
The job will also involve leading several of our major climate change and nature projects, including the UKRI Thriving Places project; maintaining and growing our reputation in climate and environment networks; and communicating the contribution we can make and impact that we are having. Importantly, this role will work closely with others also working on these areas of work.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Further information
The Senior Operations Manager will lead on several of AMF’s programmes. They will work closely with NMCPs, in country partners, AMF independent monitors, the AMF Operations and Technology teams to ensure the success of AMF distributions.
More specifically, they will manage the distributions through the following stages:

5 - Post distribution

Through these stages, it will be important to maintain strong relationships with the key partners, notably the National Malaria Control Programmes, distribution partners and cofounding partners to ensure that distributions are carried out according to the agreements signed between the Ministry of Health and AMF.
These relationships will ensure that solutions can be found constructively to issues that arise during implementation of AMF’s programmes. Aside from the areas above, there will be other work related to AMF Group Operations, dependent on the candidate’s skill set.
