>>>New position opening: Campaigner (global trade and climate change) with Corporate Europe Observatory.
Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) is looking for a campaigner to join our team from September 15th 2007 (or as soon as possible after that).
The main task will be to assist and help create synergies in CEO?s campaigning on:
- the EU's neoliberal approach in international trade and investment negotiations, including the new 'Global Europe' strategy based on new bilateral and regional liberalisation talks;
- climate change and biodiversity: challenging the flaws of EU?s current policies, such as the emphasis on boosting the use of unsustainable agrofuels.
In our campaigning on these issues we want to very strongly highlight key cross-cutting issues such as:
- the privileged access and influence currently enjoyed by big business in EU decision-making.
- the reality of corporate lobby groups blocking much-needed policy changes.
- the contradictions between neoliberal globalisation policies and the imperative of achieving climate stability.
We expect you to bring:
- two or more years of successful experience in (international) civil society campaigning;
- a strong motivation to promote social and environmental justice;
- ability to think analytically and plan strategically, in a results-oriented manner;
- ability to work closely with others in a team, in an often high-pressured environment;
- ability to manage own workload without close supervision;
- excellent writing and presentation skills;
- computer skills;
- fluent English (other languages an asset);
- substantial knowledge of climate change, global trade issues, and of the role of the European Union in both areas;
- a strong affinity with CEO, as well as with the global justice movement and progressive citizens movements in general.
This is position of 35 hours per week, for a year period (to be prolonged pending fund-raising). You will work from the CEO office in Amsterdam, but also spend a lot of time in Brussels as well as regularly travel to relevant events in various countries. The position is open to applicants of any nationality, but candidates have to be eligible to get a work permit in the European Union. The net salary is
between 1,250 and 1,500 euro per month (depending on experience).
Deadline for applications is Friday August 24th 2007. To receive an application form, please contact Olivier Hoedeman (please mention ?Campaigner - global trade and climate change):
