Amnesty International UK (AIUK) has a simple aim: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they are denied. Do you want to use your skills, knowledge and experience to help change the world? You could be our new Artist and Events Manager.

About the role

The Artists and Events Team helps us achieve our goal of reaching new audiences and changing attitudes about human rights, creating real impact towards human rights change and win human rights victories. The Artist and Events Manager is accountable for leading a team to enable our Ambassadors, Influencers and create and manage events to help build the movement. As part of the team, you will be involved in specific arts and events projects as well as supporting campaign objectives to achieve our human rights goals. This is a job share with an existing role holder.

• You collaborate and positively contribute to an inclusive culture.
• You also have a good knowledge of popular culture, arts, influencers and interest in diverse audiences.
