This is a unique opportunity for professionals passionate about energy justice, advocacy, and sustainable development to contribute to global change while working remotely from Africa.

About Recourse

Recourse works to reshape how public finance supports energy systems worldwide. The organisation advocates for a shift away from fossil fuels and extractive industries toward equitable, community-driven renewable energy solutions.

• Supporting the implementation of Recourse’s Change Goals, including Just Transition, fair financial systems, and rights-based approaches
• Collaborating with partners and allies to influence IFI policies, decision-makers, and governance structures
• Producing high-quality research, advocacy materials, and communication content
• Building and maintaining relationships with civil society organisations, networks, and coalitions across the Global North and South
• Organising and supporting events such as workshops, panels, and stakeholder meetings
• Assisting Southern partners in participating in key global advocacy platforms
• Contributing to communications efforts, including blogs, campaigns, and acting as a spokesperson when required
• Ensuring campaign strategies align with organisational priorities and long-term goals
• Supporting reporting processes for funders and stakeholders
• Assisting in identifying funding opportunities and contributing to resource mobilisation efforts
