About MAG:
MAG saves lives and builds futures by working with others to reclaim land contaminated with the debris of conflict, to reduce the daily risk of death or injury for civilians, and to create safe and secure conditions for development. MAG shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize as a founding member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines for our work to ban landmines. Our vision is a safe and secure future for men, women and children affected by armed violence and conflict.
About the Myanmar programme:
Following decades of armed conflict, Myanmar has one of the highest levels of landmine contamination in the world. We have worked there since 2013 and now have operations in four states.

The role is initially fixed term for one year, but may be extended further dependant on funding. This is a part-time role for 22.5 hours per week, ideally over three days, though MAG is willing to consider some flexibility in the working pattern for the right candidate.
About you:
The successful candidate will need experience working overseas in international aid or development, ideally in Myanmar, and be able to demonstrate the ability to work independently.

Ideally, the successful candidate will be able to communicate effectively with external stakeholders and have experience writing reports and proposals for a range of institutional donors. In addition, you must be able to prioritise your workload to meet deadlines.
