Summary

Solidarity Center seeks an early career professional to serve as the main contact for assigned field offices, responsible for day-to-day support for programs in the region. This individual will need to become conversant with all aspects of regional program activities and current events relevant to the on-going political, economic, social, and trade union developments in the region.

The Program Officer (Professional Level I/II) must be able to write persuasive proposals that describe complex activities, and develop budgets for those activities. This individual will help develop and implement education and training programs for trade union partners and worker rights organizations. The Program Officer must have the writing skills to produce program reports and evaluations. This individual will track programs to meet budget targets and programmatic results. The Program Officer will prepare information for and coordinate activities with other departments at Solidarity Center.

The Program Officer assists the Regional Program Director or the Senior Program Officer on details of programs in the assigned country(ies) of responsibility. At the direction of the Regional Program Director and based on the needs of the Center, the Program Officer may be assigned to any program office on a temporary basis. This individual assists with and, when necessary, provides logistical support for international visitors and participants in Washington-based programs conducted by the Solidarity Center, AFL-CIO, affiliates, GUFs, and/or other related organizations. The Program Officer attends various meetings and conferences (and represents Solidarity Center if a Program Officer II), and coordinates with Washington-based NGOs and U.S. government agencies at the request of the Regional Program Director or Senior Program Officer. This individual travels to the region when necessary, and can, on a temporary basis, provide back-up support for field representatives.
