Regional Representative

Announcement Description

Cord is seeking an experienced and strategic leader to provide regional leadership for its peacebuilding work across South East Asia.

Cord is an international charity working to make peace a reality in contexts affected by conflict, exclusion, and inequality. We build constructive relationships between those in positions of influence and local communities, supporting societies to move from mistrust towards cooperation and sustainable peace. We believe people flourish when all parts of society work together, and that peaceful relationships are essential for long-term change. Dialogue and engagement lie at the heart of our approach.

Our vision, mission, and values are inspired by the Christian faith. Guided by these values, we work with and employ people of all faiths and none, and partner with diverse organisations and communities across different contexts.

Cord has a long and proud history of working with communities worldwide to strengthen their capacity for peace. We have been present in South East Asia since our inception in 1967 and maintain a long-term commitment to delivering transformational change across the region.

As Cord’s regional programming continues to grow, this role reflects the increasing importance of regional approaches to addressing shared challenges and shaping effective, context-driven programmes. Across South East Asia, communities face complex and interconnected challenges related to natural resource management, land and environmental governance, women’s participation and leadership, and inclusive development.
