About the role
Amnesty International UK's Media Team plays a central role in advancing the organisation's human rights mission, connecting Amnesty's research, campaigns and advocacy with the public understanding and pressure that make meaningful change possible.

- Have excellent project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
