The Need

For 25 years, IJM has pioneered the work to protect vulnerable people from violence. 9 out of 9 times in the last decade, IJM’s Justice System Strengthening Projects have reduced slavery and violence between 50 and 85% for very large populations of people in poverty.

As we grow to expand our impact to protect 500 million people from violence by 2030, we are seeking a Lead, Demand-Side Advocacy & Partnerships to provide strategy implementation, policy analysis, subject matter expertise, cross-team collaboration, and project management to implement and achieve targeted demand-side online safety advocacy interventions and goals of IJM’s Program Against Online Sexual Exploitation of Children, via IJM’s Center to End Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (the “Center”).  This role is expected to contribute significantly to the program objectives of implementing Scale of Harm research study recommendations, driving the achievement of protecting children from livestreamed child sexual abuse via the critical support of online safety laws and regulations centered on “safety-by-design” prevention and informed by and advocated for in partnership with survivor leaders. The #1 objective of this position is to support demand-side advocacy.

The ideal candidate is a professional with experience in tech policy, advocacy, and partnerships with and among governments, non-profit organizations, corporations, and international institutions. The ideal candidate has experience developing clear and persuasive written professional products and presentations responsive to target audiences, topics, and objectives; communicates professionally in all settings; and works well independently, across cultures and time zones.  The ideal candidate has experience with programming to protect children from online sexual exploitation, bringing this experience and credibility to bear in demand-side advocacy engagements.  This position leverages IJM and external products, research, partnerships, and subject matter expertise.  

This role’s key routines include legislative and regulatory proposal review and analysis; review and analysis of research studies, data, and cases to leverage for advocacy; persuasive and professional writing; delivering presentations internally and externally; cross-team, cross-region, and cross-time zone collaboration, including with leaders and staff in the Philippines; partnership development and management; event planning and implementation.

This position works remotely with IJM teams across regions and partners based in various time zones across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, with domestic travel (4-5x a year) and international travel (3-4xs a year).  In order to accommodate these different time zones, the position will need to work hours outside of traditional working hours within a 40-hour work week.  The position does not need to work out of a physical IJM office in order to accomplish the required duties. 

This is a remote position based in the United States and in locations where IJM has an office in Europe. This role reports to the Executive Director, Center to End Online Sexual Exploitation of Children and is only available for candidates with the right to work in the US and in relevant locations in Europe.
