Sexual violence against children and adolescents (SVAC) is one of the largest silent pandemics of our time. It is a problem that festers in homes, online, and in communities in every country on Earth. To end this silent pandemic, a NEW global networked movement of survivors and allies is being created to drive advocacy and campaigns as a powerful voice for transformative change. 

Working with the direction of global survivors and allied partners, this newly forming movement will demand an end to the pandemic of sexual violence through advocacy for bold public policy solutions and campaigns to shift societal norms, eradicate survivor stigma and break the conspiracy of silence that enables sexual violence to continue. Our movement is mobilizing survivors and allies that are globally connected, nationally coordinated, and locally grounded.

The Movement Executive Coordinator works with and supports three key stakeholder and governance groups:

• Movement Action Team (MAT): This team of movement staff and consultants (a.k.a. Secretariat) will drive the day-to-day work of the global movement.
• Global Survivors Advocacy Group (SAG): This group includes 15 survivor advocacy leaders from around the world; it defines the vision and priorities for the movement.
• Global Steering Group (GSG): This group will include representatives from the SAG and also large, global organizations; it is a decision-making body and it will determine priority campaigns and advocacy efforts.

The Movement Executive Coordinator’s direct supervisor will be the Chairperson of the GSG.  Initial members of the GSG are selected representatives from The Army of Survivors, ECPAT International, End Violence Lab at the University of Edinburgh, Girls Not Brides, Together for Girls, We Protect Global Alliance, World Vision International and representatives from the Global Survivors Advocacy Group.

Role Context

The Movement Executive Coordinator will coordinate and oversee the movement’s inception, development and expansion, being both a leader and a facilitator of this movement. As a senior leader, this accomplished senior campaigner will have extensive experience in advocacy and supporting collaborative international movements and campaigns, with diverse groups and stakeholders, across a number of continents.  This movement is global in nature and is open to the coordinator to be based in any location.

This global movement has received a funding commitment for its initial 4 years, which is a rare and unique opportunity for a start-up.  A $10.3 Million grant has been secured from the Oak Foundation that will flow through Together for Girls from 2021-2025.  As part of this effort, the Movement Executive Coordinator will manage a campaign budget of approximately $1.9 Million once allocated. The movement is looking for other funding partners to expand investments as it establishes and grows its strategy. 

As the leader of a newly formed expanding movement, the Movement Executive Coordinator will be a seasoned entrepreneurial leader, who will support the development of the strategy. They will hire, supervise, and empower key staff and consultants that will operate on a Movement Action Team (MAT) to achieve the goals of the movement.  Experience working on ending sexual violence against children and adolescents (ESVAC) prevention, healing, and justice, would be interesting but not required.  More so required for success in this position are political savvy, strong campaign vision, and energetic and charismatic movement building qualities to help build this new exciting team and to drive advocacy and campaigns to end sexual violence against children. A long term commitment to measured impact is essential.

START NETWORK

Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents. We are tackling what we believe are the biggest systemic problems that the humanitarian sector faces. Start Network’s vision is for a locally-led humanitarian system that is accountable to people affected by and at-risk of crises. We aim to achieve this vision by making systemic-level shifts in the way humanitarian assistance is approached and delivered. To achieve this, we need a substantial change to the current structure evolving from the centralised structure of today to a dispersed, international network of hubs operating nationally and regionally.

We have grown and diversified our membership over the past 10 years. We are now set to evolve into a decentralised “network of networks” in line with our vision. We are currently working with five national and regional hubs made up of civil society organisations in Pakistan, DRC, Guatemala, India and the Pacific. They are developing locally owned ways of anticipating and responding to humanitarian crises. We aim to support the emergence and development of further hubs in the coming years. Our ultimate ambition is to devolve leadership and decision making to the hubs, while the central team transitions to become a service provider. 

The Start Network is at a critical point in its journey. We are looking for people to join us who are committed to our vision of system change. People with open mind-sets and approaches that are innovative, collaborative and prepared to push boundaries. You will work well with us if you are receptive to and embrace change and happy to work in a faced-paced, experimental and ever- changing work environment.
