Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of ability, has equal access to opportunities. That's the vision ADD International is working tirelessly to achieve, and they need your help. But here's where it gets exciting: they're offering two unique, fully remote leadership positions that allow you to contribute to this mission from anywhere in the world. And this is the part most people miss: these roles aren't just about managing operations; they're about shaping a global organization's culture, systems, and impact on disability rights and inclusion.
ADD International: Empowering Inclusion Globally
ADD International is a renowned global organization dedicated to breaking down barriers and empowering individuals with disabilities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Through advocacy, capacity building, and innovative development programs, they strive to create a world where everyone can fully participate in society, access education, build sustainable livelihoods, and engage with their communities.
Two Critical Leadership Roles: Shaping the Future of Inclusion
To further their mission, ADD International seeks passionate and experienced professionals for two pivotal roles:
1. Director of Resources, Systems, and Culture:
This senior leadership position is the architect of ADD International's operational backbone. Imagine being responsible for ensuring the organization's systems – from finance and HR to IT and organizational development – seamlessly support its ambitious goals. But it's more than just efficiency; it's about fostering a culture of accountability, inclusivity, and continuous improvement.

2. Safeguarding and Security Manager:
This role is the guardian of safety and well-being within ADD International. It's about ensuring the protection of staff, partners, and beneficiaries across all global programs, especially in challenging environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Safeguarding Champion: Develop, implement, and monitor robust safeguarding policies and procedures to protect children, adults at risk, staff, and program participants, ensuring compliance with international standards and legal requirements.
- Risk Management Expert: Conduct thorough risk assessments, develop mitigation strategies, and provide expert advice on security protocols across diverse operational contexts.
- Empowering Through Training: Deliver comprehensive safeguarding and security training to staff, partners, and volunteers, ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities and can respond effectively to incidents.
- Incident Response Leader: Lead investigations and responses to safeguarding concerns or security incidents, ensuring proper reporting, documentation, and follow-up actions.
- Policy Evolution: Regularly review and update safeguarding and security policies, aligning them with international best practices, donor requirements, and organizational standards.
Ideal Candidate:
We seek individuals with significant experience in safeguarding, protection, or security management, ideally within international development or humanitarian contexts. Strong analytical skills, training expertise, and incident response capabilities are crucial. A commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive environment is paramount, along with familiarity with international safeguarding frameworks, disability inclusion, and high-risk operational contexts.
