Do you want to fight for equality? Tackling inequality at its roots, together with colleagues, our partner organizations and activists in more than 90 countries? To change the systems behind it, once and for all
Oxfam Novib stands behind the people who stand up for equality. Together, we fight for a world where everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of gender, ethnicity or skin color. A world where everyone feels safe; where income gaps are shrinking instead of growing, where climate change is tackled in a firmer and more honest way.
Equality is the common thread in our work and projects, both internally and externally. We recognize that our team of colleagues can become even more diverse, and that only with a diverse team can we gain a broad perspective on the world. Therefore, we want to encourage everyone who hesitates to apply, no matter the reason. Our aim is to create an environment where everyone not only feels welcome, but where diversity is embraced and celebrated. Let's strive together to build a team that offers a rich variety of perspectives, enabling us to achieve an inclusive and inspiring work environment.

Our programs and partners support them to voice their demands, find local solutions, promote agro-ecology, and locally led adaptation, manage natural resources sustainably, protect their land rights and achieve food security.
The CRC’ seeds for resilience program based on the former SD=HS program, supports smallholder farmers - especially women, and youth - to have the capacity to access, develop and use plant genetic resources - in conjunction with agro-ecological practices and land rights - to improve their food and nutrition security. The seeds program fosters women’s leadership, support rural communities and their allies to voice their demands and influence government and private sector decisionmakers. The program is implemented in countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia and has activities at global level related to influencing, knowledge creating and linking& learning.

You will report to unit head of CRC as line manager and to the seeds for resilience program manager on program delivery.
**Key responsibilities**
- Provide internal and external (thought) leadership on the development, diffusion, learning and implementation of knowledge of the program on agro-ecology production, nutrition and use of LFP and NUS.
- Project manage the daily implementation of parts of seeds program, to ensure realization of the related parts of these projects in close cooperation with country offices and partner organizations.
- Take responsibility for the assigned budgets related to agrobiodiversity, nutrition and local food plants, elaborate proposals for the planning of the effective and efficient use of these resources, monitor the expenditures and reports on this to the project lead.
- Engage, advise and influence external and internal stakeholders (from a global perspective) on agrobiodiversity, seeds and local food plants within a context of climate change of selected seeds related programs.
- Design knowledge publications, ensure quality of documentation and training materials; share these with program stakeholders internally and externally; lead the exchange, learning, evaluation, and innovations related to agrobiodiversity, nutrition, and local food plants.
- Develop new integrated program elements and reach out to donors and partners for joint fundraising related to agrobiodiversity, nutrition, and local food plants.
