REQUIRED SKILLS
Experience: You have enough professional or non-professional experience with advocacy work (via nonprofit or political campaigns, grassroots activism, environmental or climate activism, or other forms of activism) to demonstrate that you have a strong understanding and detailed knowledge of how to effectively drive systems transformation. You have experience in project management that will allow you to plan and execute complex, cross-departmental projects.
Communication: You have compelling written and verbal communication skills, which will enable you to present THL’s message professionally and convincingly in reports, websites, and other content designed for high level executives and public audiences. In crafting communications, you take into consideration the differing motivations of executives, activists, and the general public.
Strategic thinking: The right approaches will come as a result of deeply comprehending THL’s goals as well as the motivations of corporations and the hurdles they are facing. When each choice is a strategic one, the impact of all judgments can increase. You take ownership of thinking critically about your projects. You thoughtfully vet the projects that you pursue, evaluating the risks, benefits, costs, and goals to make sure that you are making strategic choices that are in the best interest of THL.
Organization and long-term planning: Managing a large number of projects—many of which may have long-term strategies and implications for your own work—requires exemplary organizational skills, including effective cross-departmental project management skills, and daily use of Google Drive, online communication tools like Slack, spreadsheets, and project management software.
Self-motivation: This position requires the ability to set and manage your own schedule and to-do lists and carry them out in a timely, efficient manner to achieve as much as possible for animals in the limited amount of time that you have each day. You must be comfortable working both independently and as a part of a fully remote team. You have experience taking initiative in pursuing goals, managing your time effectively, and making decisions to move work forward with minimal oversight.
Collaboration: Although this position is highly independent, the success of this role relies on your ability to work cooperatively with team members, as well as other organizations and external stakeholders, and contribute to an inclusive, collaborative work environment. You bring a high level of emotional intelligence to collaborations.
Comfort with uncertainty and experimentation: Your success will depend on your ability to develop and evaluate novel, unproven tactics. Due to the nature of this work, you won’t often have direct external feedback on the effectiveness of your ideas. You will need to present arguments for or against new ideas and determine the metrics by which success can be measured.
Efficiency: You take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less. You are able to successfully handle multiple tasks and projects at once, amidst multiple priorities.

About Us
Root Change is a development laboratory, testing new ideas and leveraging learning to advocate for far-reaching change within the development sector. We believe that traditional approaches to development have failed to address the systemic causes of poverty, injustice, and vulnerability in the world. That is why we design programs, technologies, and interactive experiences that help people, organizations, and communities build better futures for themselves. Our daily work is focused on putting more power in the hands of local communities , developing the capacity of systems —made up of civil society, government, and citizens—to work together more effectively, and creating adaptive approaches that are responsive to ever-changing environments.
Most recently, our work has supported:
Community problem solving through Social Labs in Malawi ;
Investment in families and peer-learning in Colombia ;
Collective approaches to advocacy in Nigeria ;
Locally-led program experimentation in the Philippines ; and
Social network analysis of youth employment opportunities in Kenya .
We’re looking for a 2021 Latin America Programs Learning Fellow to join the Root Change team in the development revolution for 40 hours/week for 6 months !
