Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

That means we tackle the inequality that keeps people poor. Together we save, protect and rebuild lives. When disaster strikes, we help people build better lives for themselves, and for others. We take on issues like land rights, climate change and discrimination against women. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can enjoy life free from poverty.

The Oxfam International Secretariat is currently headquartered in Nairobi, with offices in Oxford, Washington DC, New York, Brussels, Geneva, and a liaison office with the Africa Union in Addis Ababa.

The Role

Are you a great communicator? Do you love mentoring and motivating people to get the most out of their digital tools? Have you got experience of helping communities come together online and find value in collaboration?

Then we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team delivering our new global digital workplace that will enable Oxfam’s approx. 9 000 staff working in over 90 countries to find, connect and collaborate with each other effectively to further our fight against poverty.

Reporting to the Senior Business Engagement Lead, you will be responsible for leading the development and implementation of a coordinated engagement and change process that will help deliver a suite of collaboration services to communities of practice across the Oxfam confederation. The role acts as an interface between the project delivery team and its customers. You will be responsible for facilitating the onboarding of our internal customers and their champions to the services and you will work with them to drive increasing value from the tools. You will coordinate feedback loops with the internal customers and the wider Digital Workplace team to help drive further development roadmaps.

Our next Digital Workplace Business Engagement Officer will require a range of skills and experience.
As the successful applicant, you will be a highly capable business process change lead, with excellent written and verbal communications skills. You will use your strong interpersonal skills to influence and motivate staff in a range of roles. You’ll be excellent at guiding and mentoring people with a range of IT literacy and digital community engagement skills to successfully on-board into our Digital Workplace and then you’ll carry on the journey with them to build up their team’s capabilities to make the most of the tools on offer. You will need to be highly organized and familiar with project management methodologies, preferably with demonstrated experience delivering technology services in medium to large scale projects. A familiarity with Intranet platforms and cloud-based collaboration tools would be highly advantageous.

Finally, you’ll need to have a strong commitment to Oxfam’s mission and values, and you’ll need to work effectively in a multi-cultural and dispersed, virtual team environment.
