About the Role
The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) is recruiting a Programme Manager to drive IHRB’s programme on human dignity in the built environment in Europe.
From specific buildings to wider urban areas, the programme strengthens collaboration, accountability, and practical action on human rights, particularly non-discrimination and inclusion, the right to adequate housing, physical and mental health, and construction workers’ rights, in the built environment.
If you have a deep understanding of the built environment sector (particularly investment, financing and policy), are passionate about rights-based social change, have a strong track record delivering effective collaborative projects and influencing policy, then this role is for you.
For the past year, the programme has been shaping the built environment just transitions agenda, particularly through its Building for Today and the Future project. As well as supporting the research in the European cities, a key focus of your role will be ensuring the project outputs reach investors and policy-makers, impacting their work, particularly in the lead-up to the 2024 EU elections.
You will be leading the programme’s wider work in Europe, including increasing awareness and uptake of the Dignity by Design framework, currently being piloted in Bergen and Utrecht.
