Description:

The goal of Oxfam's Control Arms Campaign is to prevent irresponsible international conventional arms transfers and their harmful consequences. To further this goal, Oxfam America works in cooperation with Oxfam International and other partners to promote a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). This proposed treaty will enable effective control of all types of conventional arms transfers and related transactions between countries according to common binding criteria consistent with relevant principles of international law and standards. Oxfam America uses a variety of advocacy tools to convince the United State Government to support the UN process toward an ATT and work with its allies to craft the most effective treaty possible.

This position will identify, recruit, cultivate and support a targeted public constituency of influential international security and human rights experts, former diplomats and US-based African and Latin America advocacy organizations in support of Oxfam's Control Arms agenda, utilizing a combination of online and offline strategies, and will deploy that constituency to deliver high impact public and private influencing strategies. This position will also provide overall coordination and management of public campaigning functions within the project.
