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 Artists and Ambassadors Manager.
About the role
The focus of the Artist Relations Team is two-fold: to help us reach new audiences and change attitudes to human rights; and to help us achieve our campaign goals and win human rights victories. This role will lead in creating the artist, influencer and ambassador strategies for both.
The role leads a small team and you will be required to support them and inspire them to deliver ground-breaking work that ensures Amnesty achieves its objectives.

- You have excellent strategic skills and know how to use artists to reach target audiences and change attitudes.
