Description of the Unit

The Goal Unit Fair: Fair Value Chains & Food Systems is part of the Programs Department. The purpose of the Programs Department is to achieve impact by shaping policies, designing thematic strategies, supporting, managing and implementing our programs/projects and global, regional and national level campaigns that help achieve our 10 year vision (Manifesto 2030).  The Fair Value Chains & Food Systems Unit is responsible for our work on pressuring the Dutch and international private and financial sector to ensure that power and profits are shared fairly between financiers, companies, traders, and the people who produce or consume; that compliance to business, human rights and sustainability standards is the norm. We need to ensure a living income, decent work, and secure rights for small holders and workers who are key in feeding the world. We will work towards a radical shift of the share of power, profits, and value in food systems & value chains in favour of (women) small-scale food producers, workers and their communities. To achieve this, we will take a systemic approach addressing actors in these chains, and generate expertise around key topics like living wage, living income, land rights, gender, and alternative business models. The Unit provides thought leadership on what fair food systems look like, and how to build a human economy through a fairer global food system.

Description of the role

In this role, you will be responsible for developing and implementing advocacy and campaigning that convinces businesses, and other decision makers, to make rapid progress on human rights and our environment, in line with the UNGPs and the OECD Guidelines. The focus of the role is on direct engagement with companies and campaigning towards businesses in the food sector. The position also includes direct advocacy towards government actors, with the aim to bring about progressive mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence (mHREDD) regulations. You will be asked to lead, or support, the design and implementation of influencing or campaigning strategies, programmes and initiatives, in the Netherlands, the EU but also in other countries or globally. You should be comfortable with a range of influencing and campaigns tactics aimed at shifting private sector policy and practice in the realm of human rights and the environment. We are looking for someone with a good understanding of business and human rights, and with an affinity for HR impact assessments and practical means of assuring transparency, accountability and equality within supply chains.

Expectations of the Business and Human Rights Policy Lead  

The person we are looking for has an affinity with influencing in the Netherlands and has an influencing track-record in the global South. We are looking for an excellent communicator, with proven spokesperson experience in both English and Dutch. You have affinity with detailed and accurate research work needed to underpin our influencing, but you are also capable of distilling the main messages and killer facts needed to mobilise our supporters. You get energy from speaking to large audiences, and to the media. You are able to write well-articulated opinion articles for newspapers. You will work closely with policy advisors and campaigners in a multi-disciplinary team. You can find a balance between different angles and stakeholders and are comfortable directly engaging the private sector. You have a passion for advocacy and campaigning and are a creative thinker who enjoys innovating but at the same time is organized and can deliver a project with high standards. You are able to convey the unique value of our work to potential donors, both verbally and in writing. You are comfortable working across cultures and geographies and are motivated to work in a global network of allies and Oxfam offices,  to drive systemic change across agricultural value chains. The person we’re looking for is knowledgeable about the agro-food system and value chains, including areas such as women’s, workers’ and farmers’ rights and mHREDD.
