Job Description

Job Title: Advocacy Officer

Reporting To: Advocacy Manager

Location: Sierra Leone

Contract Type: Full-time

Duration: 12 Months with possibility for extension

Compensation: 15k - 20k (USD)

WHO WE ARE:

“Remaking the world with and for girls”

Purposeful is a movement-building hub for adolescent girls and young feminists.

We resource their resistance, accompany journeys of political education, build

solidarity between and across movements, amplify their voices, catalyse

collaborative philanthropy and support innovation in grassroots programming

with and for girls and young feminists.

Our work is both global and deeply local. In Sierra Leone, we bring our work

together into one integrated strategy, sparking a groundswell of girls and young

feminists who can access and imagine new possibilities for themselves and their

communities. We move money to their allies to influence change, from

communities to courtrooms. Across the world we support girls’ and young

feminists’ organising and activism through a girl-led participatory grant-making

process called the With and For Girls Fund. In times of crisis, we move money

rapidly to girls and young feminists organising on the frontlines via the Global

Resilience Fund.  No matter where we are, we work so that girls and young

feminists can access the resources, networks and platforms they need to

remake the world for themselves.

Purposeful is a proudly feminist organisation, with a strong intersectional power

analysis. We pursue strategies that prioritise the collective liberation of girls. We

are looking for team members who share our feminist ideals. We believe the

best work happens in dialogue, and we value collective decision-making. We

believe in celebrating success, amongst staff and partners alike. We are looking

for team members with a deep commitment to collaborative working, and who

bring a sense of joy and humour to what can be challenging work.

We pride ourselves on our diversity, the multiple languages we speak and

places we live. We are all parents or have other caring responsibilities. We

prioritise work-life balance, many of us have other projects and passions outside

of Purposeful. As a team we prioritise opportunities for learning, sharing, and

embedding different worldviews. We are looking for team members who thrive

in diverse and cross-cultural contexts, and who bring passion, creativity and a

thirst for learning to their work.

We are our partnerships. We are most proud of the shared vision we have built

with our partners - rooted in mutuality, trust, and collaboration. We are looking

for team members who will work tirelessly to rebalance power disparities in

funder-partner relationships, acting as responsible stewards of resources of and

for our movements.
