IHRB’s Head of Communications will collaborate closely with the CEO, Deputy CEO, Heads of programmes, and Senior Advisors, playing a leading role coordinating across teams in support of the organisation’s mission to shape policy, advance practice, and strengthen accountability of the economic actors impacting human rights around the world – businesses of all sizes, financial institutions, as well as national and local governments. The successful candidate will have core competencies spanning external and internal communications strategy as well as technical execution skills (design software, CMS and social media management), with an entrepreneurial attitude, creativity, and supportive teamwork style.

Head of Gulf Programme

IHRB’s emerging regional programme, ‘Gulf Sustain’, aims to advance worker welfare in the GCC by centring workers’ rights as an enabler of the green transition. The programme aims to develop knowledge, drive inclusive dialogue, and advocate for stronger policies, accountability and collaboration between businesses, governments, financial actors, civil society, and local, regional and international organisations to promote alignment between policy agendas on worker welfare, economic diversification, and climate action.
