Brussels, Belgique Cagi Temps plein

Independent Diplomat (ID) is a unique non‐profit venture in the world of international relations, diplomacy and conflict prevention. Staffed by former diplomats, international lawyers and experts in international relations, ID offers independent and confidential advice and assistance on diplomatic technique and strategy to governments, political groups, international institutions, and non‐governmental organizations. Our vision is to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable diplomatic system that responds to the needs and priorities of those most affected by crises and conflicts.

ID’s staff are at the forefront of some of the world’s most urgent international crises and foreign policy challenges. We are engaged in conflict resolution in areas including, but not limited to, Ukraine, Yemen, Mali, and Myanmar. Our staff are tackling major shared global threats: such as climate change and internet freedom. And we are seeking to make the system of diplomacy fairer through our effort to improve the working methods of the UN Security Council, ensure meaningful inclusion of women in peace processes, and assist refugees to lead global refugee policy development.

Our staff work day-to-day with the groups and governments with whom we partner, providing advice, negotiating support and strategy. ID currently has a presence in New York, London, Brussels, Washington D.C., Panama City, and Geneva.

**Job Purpose**:
Independent Diplomat is recruiting a Policy Officer for its Refugee Project. Launched in 2016, ID’s Refugee Project works to fundamentally change the international system of refugee policymaking to ensure the systematic and comprehensive inclusion of refugees. This work is predicated on the idea that meaningful engagement of legitimate refugee voices in policymaking will enable lasting, systemic change to improve the global refugee response system, in the interest of human dignity and social justice. To do this, ID works in partnership with refugee-led organizations (RLOs) in six focus countries - Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey. We support our RLO partners to conduct diplomacy at local, national, regional, and global levels.

This includes programmatic support as well as the development and dissemination of existing materials.
- ** Communications Support**: Providing support on communications and media engagement, through drafting media pieces, outreach to media contacts, and managing the team’s and partners’ social media to maximise impact.
- ** Project Management**: Coordinating support across different countries and regions, as well as across departments. This will likely include working with an M&E Consultant, country project teams, and ID’s finance team.
