LGBTQI+ rights/ SOGIESC Movement building

About the program

European countries play a key role in advancing gender equality globally, yet funding for gender equality and feminist values through Official Development Aid (ODA) faces growing pressure. Despite being directly impacted by these decisions, (young) feminists and LGBTIQ+ individuals from the Majority World are not structurally engaged in shaping ODA or Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP). However, growing interest in FFP presents an opportunity to strengthen feminist approaches. To seize this momentum, the Walking the Talk consortium—led by Hivos (Netherlands) with Equipop (France), Restless Development (UK), DSW (Germany), and ODI Europe (Belgium)—leverages collective expertise to embed gender equality in foreign policies and ensure Majority World feminist voices shape ODA and FFP. The three-year, USD 7 million program launched in August 2023.

Job context

As Global Advocacy and Communications Officer, you will play a dual and essential role within the Walking the Talk program by building on progress from the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), strengthening our global advocacy efforts, and ensuring that the outcomes of the Financing for Feminist Futures (F4FF) conference in Madrid are strategically amplified across relevant international, regional, and national spaces. You will connect key advocacy moments following F4FF, linking global, regional, and EU policy processes to create cohesive and impactful advocacy campaigns. Integral to your work will be integrating the 12 Calls to Action for Gender Equality alongside FfD4 follow-ups into all relevant advocacy agendas, ensuring these priorities remain central to discussions. You will also seek to integrate and amplify the findings of the research into the future of feminist financing that the consortium commissioned, centering the voices of the researchers across the majority world. Additionally, you will maintain sustained visibility of F4FF outcomes and gender equality financing priorities in prominent global forums such as the UN, G7, and G20, while strategically engaging with the European Union as a major global actor and donor, ensuring a coordinated and powerful voice for gender equality financing on multiple levels.

Requirements

A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., international development, gender studies, political science, human rights, communications) or equivalent professional experience.
Minimum of 5 years’ experience in advocacy or policy influencing, with proven success in global policy spaces such as the UN, Financing for Development processes, and demonstrated ability to connect these with advocacy processes.
Strong understanding of gender equality financing, feminist foreign policy, ODA, and feminist movement priorities in global, regional, and national contexts.
Experience working in or closely with international civil society, feminist movements, or women’s rights organizations, with a clear commitment to intersectional and decolonial approaches.
Proven experience developing advocacy strategies and communications materials tailored to diverse stakeholders, including government actors, donors, and civil society.
Track record of coordinating multi-stakeholder collaborations, including consortia or networks, and engaging high-level stakeholders across global institutions and the EU.
Fluency in English is required; proficiency in Spanish, Dutch, and/or French is highly desirable.
