  • Support the organization, facilitation, and documentation of webinars, workshops, and meetings.
  • Support outreach and engagement with IGF member governments, including responding to requests for technical assistance.

  • Strong understanding of mining, mineral processing, sustainable mining practices, and/or resource governance.
  • 5–7 years of relevant experience in research, industry, or policy roles related to mining and sustainable development or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
  • Demonstrated experience undertaking research, analysis, and policy writing to a professional standard.
