Water Witness works at the frontline of the global water crisis to shine a light on its impacts, to understand its root causes and to activate an effective and lasting response. Our ambitious 2030 Strategy sets out five imperatives for a water secure future: accountable governance, progressive financing, redefining corporate responsibility, confronting climate change and activating people power.

We are seeking an outstanding international development practitioner, with a 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.

From our headquarters in Edinburgh, the postholder will respond to the evolving support needs of our partners globally and ensure that the evidence emerging from their work drives positive change locally, and systemic change at scale. The successful candidate will support the design, launch and operation of the SDG6 Accountability Facility – a long-term initiative to channel financial, technical and legal support to those working for water justice on the front line of the global water crisis. We are looking for an exceptional individual who has a solid technical understanding of the issues and experience in forming effective relationships with international partners, ensuring joint ownership and positive impact. The post holder will support sub-granting to partners, coordinate monitoring, evaluation and learning, programme planning, oversight, problem solving and reporting, as well as external liaison and programme communications.

The post will be based in Water Witness’s Edinburgh offices, with flexibility for home working. The role will involve some travel within the UK and travel overseas.
