ABOUT TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL

Transparency International is a global movement with one vision: a world in which government, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption. With more than 100 chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, we are leading the fight against corruption to turn this vision into reality.

ABOUT THE ROLE

TI’s international secretariat (TI-S) develops cutting-edge research products, collects evidence on what works in anti-corruption, coordinates collective action and leads on regional and global advocacy. We are looking to fill an exciting position that will be based in the Policy and Advocacy Team in TI-S and contribute to the work of the Global Anti-Corruption Consortium (GACC) – a ground-breaking partnership with investigative journalists at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). Taking advantage of OCCRP’s in-depth investigations, TI works to disrupt cross-border corruption through policy advocacy and legal action across the world. This work directly contributes to the TI Strategy and global advocacy priorities: tackling of the cross-border flows of corrupt money, protecting political systems from undue influence, and strengthening enforcement and justice. Examples stemming from this collaboration include TI’s campaigning work to End Corrupt Abuse of Golden Visas in Europe, or legal accountability work into corruption in Madagascar’s Litchi trade or following the Gambia Heist investigations, to name just a few, together with TI national chapters and other partners.

The role requires a team player with a good understanding of relationship building, an interest in fundraising and ideally some diverse regional and topical experience.

MAIN ACCOUNTABILITIES OF THE ROLE

Based in the Policy & Advocacy Team, the GACC Coordinator will:

• Partnerships: alongside the GACC Programme Manager, act as a focal point with OCCRP and other key partners engaged through the Consortium, share information with the project team and other identified stakeholders by observing security protocols, and coordinate the GACC team’s efforts to identify and foster cooperation with potential partners to maximise impact for the project’s policy advocacy and legal accountability work
• Strategy: contribute to the team’s strategic thinking on campaigns, advocacy priorities and opportunities provided by journalistic investigations
• Coordination: coordinate support from and exchange with relevant teams and colleagues in the TI Secretariat and Movement, ensure timely review of new investigations, support follow up, and help mainstream case-based advocacy approaches into TI’s policy and advocacy work
• Impact: contribute to campaign implementation and ensure results are captured, lead on knowledge-sharing, monitoring and learning for the project, and collaborate with other team members to accelerate and maximise impact
• Advocacy: engage in external representation of TI to further policy goals arising from cases
• Sustainability: work with OCCRP and TI-S Fundraising Team to ensure that resources are mobilised and used efficiently and identify strategies for ensuring the sustainability of the partnership between anti-corruption advocates and investigative journalists
• Other tasks as required to ensure the effectiveness and success of the OCCRP partnership
