Global Inclusion Specialist

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

As our Global Inclusion Specialist, you will play a critical role in ensuring inclusion and intersectionality are embedded across our programmes, influencing work, policies and partnerships, helping us achieve our ambition of reaching 200 million girls over the next five years.

Working within the Gender Transformative Policy and Practice (GTPP) Team, you will collaborate with colleagues across our Global Hub, Regional Hubs, Country Offices and National Organisations to strengthen inclusive, gender-transformative approaches and champion the voices and rights of those most often excluded.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced inclusion specialist who is passionate about advancing girls' rights, gender equality and social justice on a global scale. We are looking for someone who believes that lasting change happens when inclusion and intersectionality are embedded at the heart of programmes, policies and partnerships, and who is motivated by the opportunity to influence both practice and organisational culture.

Combining strategic thinking with a practical, solutions-focused mindset, you will help ensure inclusion remains central to our ambition of creating lasting change for girls and young people worldwide.

As Global Inclusion Specialist, you will support the implementation of Plan International's Global Gender Equality and Inclusion Policy and Gender Transformative Approach, helping to ensure inclusion and intersectionality are consistently embedded across our programme and influencing work.

You will work closely with technical specialists, programme teams, networks and partners across the Federation, providing expert advice, fostering learning and collaboration, and strengthening inclusive approaches that reinforce our commitment to girls' rights and gender equality.

The role will also support and coordinate key global networks focused on gender equality, disability inclusion, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and intersectionality, ensuring shared learning, stronger collaboration and greater impact across the organisation.

Key responsibilities:

• Champion the integration of inclusion and intersectionality across Plan International's programmes, influencing work, policies and organisational priorities, ensuring gender equality, girls' rights and inclusion are embedded throughout.
• Provide technical leadership, advice and practical guidance to country, regional and global teams to design, deliver and monitor inclusive, gender-transformative programmes and influencing initiatives.
• Support the development and application of tools, frameworks, standards and approaches that strengthen inclusion…
