Global Witness
We’re recruiting a Senior Investigator on a fixed term basis.
About Global Witness
Global Witness wants to end environmental and human rights abuses driven by political and corporate elites.
The planet and its residents face a crisis: the climate is being destroyed, and civic freedoms are deteriorating. Rampant abuse of power is pushing the world to breaking point as Governments, and big corporations all too often go unchecked in their exploitation of our planet and its people.
For us to succeed, we need to embody the principles we fight for. Global Witness strives for cohesion, solidarity, and inclusion as only together can we protect one another and the planet to build a better and more just future.
About the role
As Senior Investigator in our London office, you’ll produce high-quality analysis on Russian fossil fuel production projects, exports and the companies profiting from them.
As part of a newly formed team, you’ll work with analysts, programmers and policy experts to monitor companies that continue to profit from the international trade of Russian fossil fuels. Your research will be used as the basis for media content to push for a robust and broad set of sanctions on Russian oil, gas and coal.
About you
You will be a talented and persistent researcher with in-depth knowledge of the international commodities trade. Passionate about achieving change, you’ll know how to generate leads, manage sources and communicate your findings persuasively.
Finally, you’re a collaborator who enjoys working as part of a team with a solid infinity to Global Witness’ values.
Working for us
Global Witness has a talented team of people worldwide with offices in London, Washington DC, and Brussels. We aim to be a diverse and inclusive place to work. We value new perspectives, original ideas and different ways of working. We believe that diverse views and experiences improve the way we do our work. We do our best to make our jobs accessible to all regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation or identity.
We offer an excellent benefits package including a competitive salary, 25 days annual leave (exc. Bank Holidays), private medical insurance, pension and a broad range of family friendly and policies to support your work life balance.
This role is based in London and therefore to be considered for this role you must be able to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK. We are currently trialling a new hybrid working model for 2022 that requires staff to be in the office at least 20% of their time, but this may change in the future.
This is a fixed term role until the end of December 2023.
