- Negotiate, draft, and review major contracts, and develop standards for contracting and contract management.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of internal policies and practices.
- Provide governance advice and support to GPI and GPI’s consolidated entities and maintain relationships with directors.
- Represent the Legal Unit in cross-departmental discussions and committees.
- Select and instruct external counsel.
- Offer strategic advice on governance, registration, and compliance issues to NROs.
- Advise on the bilateral relationship between GPI and NROs.
- Monitor and promote civic space issues, focusing on the right to association and good governance.
- Build resilience across the Greenpeace network and participate in crisis management if needed.
- Liaise with governance bodies and stakeholders on legal matters and maintain relevant legal networks.
- Represent Greenpeace International in pro bono legal networks.
- Develop and provide training on legal issues and manage legal information systems.
- Promote the Global Legal Framework across GPI and the Greenpeace network.
