    Do you want to protect democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean? The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) is looking for a creative and motivated lawyer to help us do just that.

    • Developing and implementing grant programs to support partners’ law reform efforts;
    • Designing trainings and initiatives to strengthen knowledge of laws affecting the freedoms of association, expression, and assembly;
    • Researching cutting-edge legal issues, such as the nexus between climate change and civic freedoms or the exercise of civic freedoms in the digital age; and
    • Implementing program development initiatives.

    Qualifications and requirements:

    • Law degree from an accredited school.
    • Excellent research, writing, and presentation skills.
    • Professional competency in English and Spanish is required (proficiency in Portuguese is an advantage).
