Overview

DT Global Asia Pacific is recruiting a GEDSI Lead for the Southeast Asia and Australia Government Partnerships (SEAG2G) program. The program supports collaboration between Australian and Southeast Asian government institutions, helping them share knowledge, strengthen policy and technical capabilities and build long-term partnerships toward a peaceful, stable and prosperous region.

What you will do

The lead helps build gender equality, disability and social inclusion considerations into program activities, agency agreements and work plans.

Candidates should show experience strengthening GEDSI capability in institutions and development programs, understand intersectional GEDSI issues in Southeast Asia, and ideally have worked with government agencies in Australia or Southeast Asia. Experience with Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade programs is highly desirable.
