Senior Investigator – Transition Minerals

2 weeks ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Global Witness Full time

About Global Witness

Our goal is a more sustainable, just and equal planet where humanity is propelled forward, away from the toxic practices of the past. This means fossil fuels staying in the ground, climate-critical forests standing tall and those on the frontline fighting the climate crisis, who defend our planet, are protected from persecution and attacks.

We want justice for those disproportionately affected by the climate crisis: people in the global south, indigenous communities and communities of colour, women and younger generations. And that the necessary energy transition is done equitably and with the interests of those groups in mind.

To do this we have to stand up to the corporate drivers of the climate crisis - the fossil fuel companies that continue to extract and burn when the science is telling us to stop, the global banks financing deforestation and the businesses that turn a blind eye, or worse are complicit in, attacks on defenders.

For us to succeed, we need to embody the principles we fight for. Global Witness strives for cohesion, solidarity, and inclusion as only together can we protect one another and the planet to build a better and more just future.

About the campaign

The rush for extraction of critical minerals as part of the global green transition has led to questions such as who suffers, who benefits and whose power is being reinforced. Our Transition Minerals campaign focuses on this challenge and how to support its shifts in power.

About the role

As Senior Investigator you will be developing the high quality investigations that demonstrate the inequities in extracting strategy minerals, supporting compelling cases for shifts in power. Working with complex data, your investigative techniques, within a Sub-Saharan Africa context will lead to understanding the governance and just issues concerning critical minerals and energy transition.

About you

You will bring your networking skills to work with internal colleagues, sources and external partners to align the investigations with campaign goals and amplify the priorities of impacted communities.

Your journalistic investigation experience will be essential in both developing strategy based plans and delivering rigorous factual analysis and desk-based and field research.

Working for us

Global Witness has a talented team of people worldwide with offices in London, Washington DC, and Brussels. We aim to be a diverse and inclusive place to work. We value new perspectives, original ideas, and different ways of working. We believe that diverse views and experiences improve the way we do our work. We do our best to make our jobs accessible to all regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or identity.

We offer an excellent benefits package including a competitive salary and 25 days annual leave (excl. Bank Holidays). We also offer healthcare insurance, wellbeing days and policies to support you during key life events.

This role is based in London and therefore to be considered you must be able to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK. We are working under a hybrid working model which requires at least 2 days in the office.
