Amnesty International is shifting its centralized International Secretariat (IS) into a more strong, coherent and visible presence in strategic locations in the global South.
In the Americas, we are developing a stronger presence by opening a regional office in Mexico City and de-concentrating some of the functions we currently base in the International Secretariat office in London, including our research and campaign capacity. Being closer to the ground will enable us to operate with greater speed and relevance and to be more agile and responsible to the demands of our human rights agenda. Amnesty International is looking for an experienced press officer to lead the organization's media work across the Americas, in order to shape and develop a media profile for its human rights work across the region.

You will provide communications that help to develop the human rights agenda and raise awareness of Amnesty International's work in this important region. You will be part of a new team to be based in Mexico covering research and campaigns and will work closely with other communications colleagues and with the media programme in London.
