Post:Regional Director -
Organization: Amnesty InternationalLocation:Hong Kong
Starting salary HKD 1,114,464 Hong Kong
The mobile revolution. Geopolitical power shifts. A radically altered global economy. The world is
changing, and so is the way that people campaign for their rights. To remain effective, Amnesty International’s (AI) International Secretariat needs to adapt to that change. That’s why we’re expanding our presence in Hong Kong. And why we need you to take the lead.
About the role
In Hong Kong our International Secretariat team will tackle a host of diverse regional issues, from the death penalty in East Asia to the torture of individuals in custody in China, political prison camps in North Korea to the rights of migrant workers across the region. As Regional Director, we’ll look to you to develop and adapt our global strategies within the China and East Asian context. You’ll lead a multifunctional team to develop and deliver effective research, campaigns, communications, growth and fundraising plans. So you’ll need to create a culture of collaboration and integration as you establish the office, support your staff and take accountability for managing resources. At the same time, you’ll be guaranteeing that your team comply with all the relevant laws, policies and practices while adhering to AI’s standards of independence, impartiality and credibility.
About you
A politically astute, inspirational and resilient leader, you’ll bring us expert knowledge and experience of human rights in addition to a well-developed understanding of the international human rights framework. The sound knowledge of East Asian political and social contexts that comes from living and working in the region is also essential. As is a leadership background within a similarly complex organisation. You’ll be a strategic thinker who can create plans, manage staff, allocate resources and maintain a strong network of government, NGO and media contacts. So you’ll have the communication, presentation and advocacy skills needed to represent AI to a variety of audiences, along with the credibility to influence them and effect positive change.
About us
Our aim is simple: for every person to enjoy all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. Independent, impartial, international and influential, we campaign to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected for everyone, everywhere.
