More than that, we want to change the international system so that it better supports the role that local people and communities play in preventing violence and building and sustaining peace.

We are looking for an experieced manager to lead our newly merged Programmes and Research team. The team is responsible for supporting our local partners around the world to deliver their vital peacebuilding work, as well as undertaking research into the effectiveness and sustainability of locally led peacebuilding efforts. Like many charities, 2020 has been a very challenging year for us and so we have restructured the organisation to reduce our running costs and ensure that we can continue to deliver our mission for years to come. The merging of our International Programmes department and Policy and Research department has been a core part of the restructure and we are now looking for someone to lead the new Programmes and Research department. 

We are looking for an experienced professional with at least five years experience in the peacebuilding or a related sector. You will have a solid track record of team and line management, be a strategic thinker when it comes to peacebuilding practice and have a firm commitment to supporting local efforts, in exploring ways to shift power to local actors and in transforming the international system so that is more attuned to the needs and perspectives of local actors.

You will be an excellent communicator, will be comfortable representing Peace Direct in international meetings (including representing the CEO) and will have strong financial/budget management skills. You will also be fluent in French, as a large proportion of our international programmes are based in Francophone Africa.

Finally, we are looking for someone who is creative, calm and adaptable even under the most challenging of circumstances. The work we support around the world is based in some of the most volatile contexts, and things often don't go according to plan. We are looking for people who thrive under these situations.

While the post is based in our London office, we have closed our office due to Covid and do not expect to reopen it until March 2021. Therefore the successful candidate will be expected to work from home for the first few months of the year at least. 

Peace Direct strives to be a diverse and inclusive employer, with equality of opportunities regardless of personal identity, and we are committed to improving our systems and ways of working to support this, including creating a Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) working group, DEI strategy and recruitment guidelines. We strongly encourage individuals from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to apply, including Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people with mental health challenges.
