Global Human Rights Education – Instructional Designer

Amnesty International’s Global Human Rights Education (HRE) Team is looking for an Instructional Designer to create inspiring, accessible and learner‑centred online learning experiences across a range of human rights topics. You’ll help turn complex issues into learning that is clear, engaging and action‑oriented — reaching diverse audiences across countries, cultures and contexts.

You will bring together expertise in pedagogy, digital learning and human rights to support Amnesty’s mission of empowering people everywhere to understand, claim and defend their rights.

Working closely with colleagues across Amnesty International’s global movement, you will help ensure that our educational offerings are impactful, accessible and innovative.

You’ll join a highly collaborative global HRE team within Amnesty International’s Campaigns and Education Programme, working across the movement to strengthen education as a tool for human rights impact. You will be located in Amnesty International Norway's office in Oslo, and here you will be part of a engaged, friendly and dedicated community of colleagues.

Amnesty International actively seeks employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and skills, as diversity is essential to the success of our work. We therefore work deliberately to broaden our perspectives and, among qualified candidates, will prioritise applicants who bring backgrounds and competencies that are currently underrepresented in our organisation.

Amnesty International is committed to building an inclusive working environment rooted in respect, trust and kindness, and we welcome applications from everyone who shares our values.

We are ideally looking for a candidate who can start in early July; however, the start date can be discussed and agreed upon together.

If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, we encourage you to apply. Please submit both your application and CV in English.

• Brings sound judgement and stays calm and solution‑oriented under pressure and shifting deadlines
  
• Is curious and reflective, actively seeking feedback and using it to improve learning products
