Role

Over the past 15 years Water Witness has established itself as a leading advocate for water justice, holding governments, business, and investors to account for sustainable water management. We are now seeking an international development practitioner, with a strong technical background in water and environmental management, to support our growing portfolio of work to secure lasting water security and justice for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

We are looking for a dynamic individual with a solid technical grounding and proven ability to build and sustain effective relationships with international partners, fostering genuine joint ownership. You will play a central role in ensuring our portfolio of international grants is strategically aligned, delivered to a high standard, and achieves meaningful, lasting impact. Responding to the evolving needs of our partners, you will ensure that evidence generated through their work is effectively leveraged to drive system change at scale. The role involves regular extended international travel to support programme delivery, learning and documentation across our high-quality, complex programmes. You will support planning, problem solving, monitoring and reporting, ensuring delivery is not only on track but results in positive change for those most affected by the water crisis.

You will also work closely with colleagues and partners to develop compelling, evidence-based narratives that engage media, targeted groups, wider networks and new audiences. A key aspect of this role will be sharing learning, strengthening partner capacity and identifying resource gaps. With strong critical thinking skills, you will be able to influence others effectively and work flexibly in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. If you want to play your part in the fight for water justice and have the experience and skills we are looking for.
