The Executive Director for Global Advocacy works with the Vice President for US Programs and Policy Advocacy to shape, coordinate, support and connect CARE USA’s advocacy at the national, regional, G7 capital and global levels to achieve the organization’s ambitious Vision 2030. S/he supervises a team of senior advocates working on areas for which CARE USA leads the global federation: health equity and rights, food-water-nutrition security, scaling up of Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs), and gender justice.

The ED helps focus the organization around clear, bold advocacy country-to-global campaigns that will lead to exponential impact at the local level for the people CARE seeks to serve.

The ED also works with regional and country leadership teams to define focused, achievable and meaningful policy advocacy goals at the country level, which may or may not link to a global campaign.

The ED is integral to the fabric of the global federation, keeping close ties with CARE International team members, regional advocacy advisors, country advocates, CARE members in G7 countries, as well as with grassroots movements to continually inform and advance advocacy objectives. The ED will assist CARE in decolonizing its approach to advocacy in myriad ways, for example, setting agendas based on the priorities of grassroots people and movements and making space for local advocates to speak directly to institutions of power.

The ED ensures that the necessary resources are raised to support strong global advocacy and that funds are managed transparently for their best use.
