We are looking for a policy officer to join our teams working on sustainable food systems and climate action and green transition.
Who are we?
About the sustainable food systems team
About the climate action and green transition team
What will you be doing?
As a policy officer working on food systems and climate action, you will:
- Conduct policy analysis, based on thorough research, to feed into the relevant international and national policy processes, and write articles on topics related to food systems, climate action and green transition within the broader context of Africa-Europe relations.
- Facilitate debates and panel discussions, and take an active part in these types of events to share your insights.
- Communicate and discuss your and ECDPM’s work with a wider audience through social media, multimedia and media outlets.
- Manage project teams for delivery on projects and impact on policy processes.
- Supervise, coach and mentor junior staff.
- Build, expand and maintain relevant strategic networks and partnerships.
- Identify funding opportunities, develop funding proposals and secure project funds.
- Think strategically and identify (new) areas in which ECDPM can add value.
Depending on your experience and in accordance with the needs of ECDPM’s other teams, other activities may be assigned to your portfolio as well. You will report to either the sustainable food systems team or the climate action and green transition team based on the projects you are involved in. You can be based in our office in Brussels or our head office in Maastricht, but flexibility is envisaged with the possibility to work from home a few days a week.
Who are we looking for?
- Has a master’s degree in economics (general, agricultural/food economics, environmental economics or other), political science, development or environment/climate-related studies.
- Has comprehensive knowledge and/or professional experience (at least five years) in the field of agricultural development, food security, food systems, and climate and environmental management (ideally with a focus on adaptation and resilience-building), preferably in an African and/or European context.
- Is able to quickly provide high-quality policy research and advice, and engage in multi-actor dialogue facilitation to influence relevant policy-making.
- Has at least five years of relevant professional experience or equivalent in development cooperation, policy processes or sustainable development processes.
- Contextual familiarity with or work experience in specific regions in Africa (for instance, the Horn of Africa, West Africa/the Sahel or North Africa) is a plus.
- Has at least three years of experience in (project) management and supervision.
- Has a proven interest in global development and European international cooperation.
- Is fluent in (academic) English and has good knowledge of French. Knowledge of languages spoken in the regions ECDPM works on is a plus.
- Has demonstrable presentation, facilitation and (intercultural) communication skills.
- Has excellent people management skills, and the motivation to further develop these.
- Fundraising experience is desirable.
- Is committed to ECDPM’s vision and core values.
**What do we offer you?**
- A stimulating international work environment where you will have the autonomy to manage your work, and initiate and lead projects on topics you are passionate about.
- A one-year Dutch or Belgium contract for 40 hours a week, which will be converted into a permanent contract upon proven suitability and available budget.
- A competitive salary package commensurate with experience.
- A holiday and end-of-year allowance.
- A net homework allowance or market-related commuter allowance.
- Support with visa and resettlement for you and your family (if needed), including a resettlement package for those who are recruited out of the Netherlands or Belgium but will be based in either of the two offices.
- A 30% tax benefit under certain conditions for those with a Dutch contract. The Dutch tax authorities determine whether this will be granted.
- A very generous leave package of 47.6 days based on a 40-hour work week.
- An individual professional development budget of 0.2% of your salary.
- Flexible working hours with a hybrid working between home and the office.
- A strong and professional organisational support team (IT, communications, travel, administrative and finance-related support).
- A collegial working environment with centre-wide activities for staff and their families (COVID-19 permitting).
