- Providing humanitarian policy support and advice internally

Do you have the following experience?
- Research, policy influence and/or campaigning
- Evidence of having scoped and developed a humanitarian advocacy strategy.
- Track record of working on humanitarian policy issues, particularly conflict resolution, peace building and work in fragile states.
- Experience of working in multi-agency consortia.
- Experience of writing reports and policy briefings

Do you have the following skills?
- Ability to research and analyse information
- Ability to work strategically and on own initiative
- Ability to negotiate and collaborate within and outside the organisation
