JOB ALERT | RESOLVE seeks Program Associate - $50k to $55k
RESOLVE, a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C., is seeking a Program Associate for our Sustainable Resources team. The Program Associate will provide a wide range of support in project planning and management, fundraising and communications, research and analysis, writing, and general program activities. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a passion for working on complex social and environmental challenges in global natural resource development and supply chains.
The Associate Role
The Associate will join our Sustainable Resources team and work across a range of programmatic and organizational projects, with an initial focus on the following:
Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade, a multi-sector initiative between leaders in civil society, industry, and government supporting activities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the surrounding Great Lakes Region of Central Africa (GLR) to enable responsible sourcing of minerals from the region.
FPIC Solutions Dialogue, a collaboration between leading companies, communities, and NGOs to develop practical guidance to support free, prior, informed consent (FPIC) community processes relating to mining, oil and gas projects.
Scalable Trade in Artisanal Gold, an initiative to create a replicable, scalable regional sourcing system in Burkina Faso to benefit thousands of artisanal gold miners by making their trade and supply chain more resilient and fair.
Associates are a critical part of project teams at RESOLVE. They are directly engaged and visible in all project aspects, from organizing meetings with all the details that set up multi-stakeholder initiatives for success; to participating in dialogues and summarizing key questions and decisions; to contributing to concept papers and proposals that advance new projects. We ask them to research and analyze issues, assess stakeholder dynamics, and develop concepts and options for collaborative action. Associates keep their eyes on the project as a whole and track detailed progress toward key milestones, coordinating with team members to help us meet objectives. They work on fundraising, communications, and social media for programs and the organization. They sometimes sort the mail. (And we all pitch in to make coffee!)
