Join us to defend the sexual and reproductive health rights of all people.

Empowering the most vulnerable women, men and young people in over 170 countries to access life-saving services and programmes and to live with dignity, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and its 30,000 staff, along with millions of volunteers, campaign for sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) and deliver education and services through 65,000 service points.

In pursuit of our aim to improve quality of life and ensure all people’s right to enjoy sexual lives free from ill health, unwanted pregnancy, violence and discrimination, we are currently embarking upon an ambitious new strategy to galvanise increased commitment from key decision makers, maximise integrated service provision, and achieve even greater impact for more vulnerable people.

Our European Network Region, is currently seeking its next Regional Director, who will be ultimately responsible for leading, representing and advocating for SRHR across 39 countries in Europe and Central Asia and for advancing IPPF’s strategy in the Region, comprising both long-standing wealthy democracies and some of the world’s poorest countries. As part of our global Senior Management Team, you will support the Regional Council and lead around 30 staff in the European Network Regional Office to support the 39 Member Associations in their programme development and implementation.

You are a senior international health or development professional with significant experience in SRHR and strategic and complex operational leadership. A true team player, you will bring the vision, creativity and charisma to empower and inspire colleagues, and to build productive partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including donors, political figures and senior volunteers. An analytical and diplomatic approach combined with extensive knowledge of the political and socio-economic dynamics in Europe and Central Asia, set within the international context, will be key to success. Fluent English, verbal and written, is essential along with at least one other European language. You have a clear commitment to the values of IPPF and passion for the work of the organisation.

Regular overseas travel is an essential aspect of the job.
