Human Rights and Responsible Sourcing Advisor

2 weeks ago

Oxford, United Kingdom Proforest Full time

Company Description
**Who are we?**

Proforest is a mission-driven organisation that works throughout agricultural supply chains supporting the production and sourcing of agricultural and forest commodities that deliver positive environmental and social outcomes for People, Nature and Climate. These cover issues such as protecting and restoring forests and natural ecosystems, respecting worker’s rights, advancing gender equality, and engaging with communities and indigenous people. Through our consultancy services, we help companies put their sustainability commitments into action both, within and beyond supply chains. We also facilitate pre-competitive collaboration with peer companies and other stakeholders such as governments, civil society and communities, and we support multi-stakeholder initiatives and landscape approaches that build common goals, address systemic issues and deliver positive outcomes at scale.

**Job Description**:
**What will you do?**

The role sits in the Human Rights and Livelihoods (HR&L) technical team, and will mainly support the Responsible Sourcing Team, but also support on-going work including sector collaboration and taking action at landscape or jurisdictional level.

You’ll have the opportunity make an impact on a range of projects on how to implement human rights and livelihoods commitments in practice, and support companies to achieve positive impacts for people in their supply bases and supply chains. This will be achieved via working with colleagues to support companies in the implementation of human rights due diligence, including policy commitments, human rights risk assessments, and actions within and beyond supply chains to address issues such as forced labour, child labour, OHS risks, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) land rights issues.

**Key responsibilities include**:

- Manage the day-to-day implementation and delivery of major client projects and/or workstreams to include budget, planning and project administration, as well as monitoring of deliverables in line with project requirements
- Provide technical support on human rights topics
- Represent Proforest in relevant international meetings and forums
- Maintain a clear understanding of the current HREDD legislative context, stakeholder pressures and best-practices relating to the sustainable management and sourcing of agricultural and forestry commodities, including industry collaboration groups (e.g., Consumer Good Forum, ISEAL, Palm Oil Collaborative Group, Soft Commodities Forum )

**Qualifications**:
**What is your profile?**

We are looking for people who are passionate about taking on challenges at a global scale, someone who is self-motivated and committed to continuous improvement for themselves and the team in which they work. To be successful in the role you will have:
**Essential**:

- The ability to work collaboratively as a team within a multi-cultural environment and be able to receive and give constructive feedback
- A relevant Masters’ level qualification or equivalent
- Knowledge of human rights issues in agricultural production and supply chains
- Knowledge of and/or applied experience of the implementation of the UNGPs’ Human Rights Due Diligence framework
- Good knowledge of the relevant international frameworks, conventions, and guidelines; and voluntary standards/certification schemes designed to address human rights relevant to agricultural commodity production
- Have relevant professional experience in a similar consultancy role, sustainability initiative, private sector, or delivery-focused NGO working in, or closely with, large corporate buyers and international agricultural commodity supply chains
- Have strong project management skills (including excellent time-management, problem-solving and organisational abilities) and proven ability to deliver to tight timelines
- Have excellent written and spoken English with the ability to draft proposals, reports and presentations
- The ability and willingness to travel for training, field work and meetings.

**Desirable**:

- Knowledge and experience of mandatory human rights due diligence legislation
- Experience and skills at developing and delivering training - on-line and in person
- Training and experience of gender equality mainstreaming, and/or building gender sensitivity into field work or programmes
- Knowledge and/or experience of the production practices of at least one of the commodities Proforest works on (palm oil, cocoa, sugar, beef, soy, rubber)
- Fluency in another relevant language: French, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malay, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin
- Experience of working within multi-stakeholder processes and/or facilitation of meetings and collaborative processes.
- Experience of living and working in regions where Proforest has a strong presence (Latin America, West Africa and Southeast Asia)
