Job description

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty.

As part of the ActionAid Federation, we work with women and girls, our partners, and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

The Bretton Woods Project (BWP), an ActionAid UK-hosted project, is looking for a Project Officer to support the Bretton Woods Project team in monitoring the work of the World Bank and IMF, supporting critical civil society communities, and advocating for transformational change.

As Project Officer, your work will primarily focus on the World Bank as it relates to the implementation of BWP's Gender Equality and Macroeconomics (GEM) and Financialisation, Gender Equality and Human Rights projects. You will also support the Bretton Woods Project team more widely. This involves directly engaging with senior-level World Bank officials and staff to further advocacy targets, coordinating with and representing BWP in key civil society communities, and producing high-quality advocacy outputs.

You will also be monitoring key developments at the World Bank with a focus on the gendered impacts of its macroeconomic policies and contributing to team-wide communications outputs such as the Bretton Woods Observer, Dispatch, and Newslens, and to the institutional strengthening of the Bretton Woods Project.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of economic justice issues from a gender equality, human rights and financialisation perspective. The candidate will also be familiar with the World Bank's key activities and have a strong grasp of the common criticisms of the IMF and World Bank.

You will have experience of interacting with policymakers and in producing high-quality written policy and research outputs relating to international economic justice issues.

ActionAid is committed to driving improvement through digital channels, tools and ways of working. We will ensure that we provide the technology and the training to enable all staff to perform their roles to the best of their abilities. In return, we ask that all staff are committed to continually improving their digital skills and knowledge within the working environment. Our recruitment processes will evaluate the digital skills of all applicants.

ActionAid is committed to supporting flexible working. If you would like to discuss flexible working options, including the possibility of a job share for this role, there will be space to do so during the interview process.
