Head of Fossil Fuel Investigations

1 week ago

London, United Kingdom Global Witness Full time

We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Fossil Fuel Investigations to lead high quality and innovative campaigns which result in significant impact and change.

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 role

Leading a team of key investigators and working on shared goals with the Fossil Fuels Campaigning Lead, you will deliver impactful and credible investigations which help dismantle the power of the fossil fuel industry.

You will be responsible for building strategic, innovative and focused investigations, followed by strategic storytelling and collaborative advocacy to ensure they create the change we need at this critical time.

About you

You’ll bring your significant experience and expertise in all aspects of designing and overseeing successful investigations. You embrace collaboration, bringing compelling and authentic communication skills where you listen, engage and influence at all levels, with a broad range of individuals and organisations.

As an agile leader, you will drive and support an empowered and valued team accountable for the work they do.

Finally, you’ll have a strong affinity to Global Witness’ values. You’ll thrive in an environment where you frequently work with others to achieve our ambitions.

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 operate a hybrid working model with two days a week in the office.

We are currently operating within a 4-day working week as part of a Shorter Working Week Trial. All our full-time employees work a 30-hour week with a Friday off as standard until May 2025.

We offer an excellent benefits package including a competitive salary and annual leave/vacation days. We also offer healthcare insurance and policies to support you during key life events.

This role is open to be based in London U.K. or Washington D.C. U.S.A. To be considered for this role you must be able to provide proof of your eligibility to work in the relevant location.

1) What do you see as the biggest opportunities for telling stories about the negative impact of fossil fuels in 2025?
2) Which media markets do you think we most need to engage to drive impact on tackling fossil fuels?
3) In what ways can investigative storytelling drive campaigning impact?

To help us track your application please use the following in the subject heading of the email: Head of Fossil Fuel Investigations and please use the following file name protocol for your CV: ‘FirstName_LastName_CV’.

Interview

Virtual interviews will be held on the week commencing 9th December but if anything changes, we will let you know. You will receive the interview questions 1 week ahead of the interview via email to enable you to prepare.

If you have a disability and would prefer to apply in a different format or would like us to make any reasonable adjustments to enable you to apply or attend any interview, please let us know.

Global Witness wants to meet the aims and commitments set out in its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategy. This includes not discriminating under the Equality Act 2010 and building an accurate picture of the make-up of the workforce and candidates in encouraging equality and diversity.

We need your help and cooperation to enable us to do this, but filling in this form is voluntary. The information provided will be kept confidential and will only be used for monitoring purposes.
