Purpose of the role
You will oversee all aspects of the research and selection of new Laureates for the Right Livelihood Award, taking a leading role in implementing our strategic outlook, as well as developing and managing the research team. In this position, you will be collaborating with colleagues in the entire Right Livelihood team and communicating with nominees for the Award as well as external experts and other contacts. It is expected that you stay on top of global developments related to the work. It is your responsibility to ensure high quality in the research and present accurate, comprehensive, and timely research findings about the candidates.
The Head of Research will report to the Deputy Director and lead the work of the research team, which currently has two staff members.
Main responsibilities
Lead and develop the annual selection process of Laureates towards the goals defined in the organisational strategy and operational plan.
Provide leadership to the research team, manage and guide the research work, and be responsible for the research budget.
Coordinate and conduct investigative research about nominees for the Award, both remote and on-site, and lead the writing of the report presented to the jury, including all relevant research findings.
Ensure high-quality research to allow the jury to assess nominations from multiple perspectives.
In coordination with colleagues, make sure that our work is informed by current trends in global affairs and civil society movements.

Who you are
We see you as a leader with a high sense of responsibility, accountability and integrity, while also having a strong commitment to Right Livelihood's mission and values. You enjoy turning plans into action, are skilled in time management and know how to delegate within a team. In your research work, you are investigative, challenging and analytical, yet maintain a self-critical distance and are able to present a balanced "full picture". As a researcher, you are a generalist interested in multiple topics connected to the work. You possess strong interpersonal skills and effectively navigate cultural nuances with sensitivity when interviewing candidates for the Award with diverse origins and backgrounds.
