Berlin, Deutschland Human Rights Watch Vollzeit

**FULL-TIME JOB VACANCY**
**CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER**
**Multiple Office Locations Considered**
**Application Deadline: 4 July, 2024**

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) will provide strategic and tactical Information Technology and Security leadership across all functions at Human Rights Watch ("HRW"), including fact-finding tools, publishing, knowledge management, human resources, fundraising and operations to provide a secure, scalable and robust infrastructure to support HRW's highly distributed global organization. As a key member of the operations and leadership team, the CIO will be a partner and advisor to the senior leadership, the board of directors, and the wider organization.

The CIO will play a critical leadership role in defining and communicating HRW's technology strategy, including a cloud-based systems architecture and will be responsible for building, operating, and securing all significant technology within HRW. The CIO will also manage the Information Security team to implement and maintain an information security risk management program and support in incident response in coordination with the Director of Physical Security. The CIO will prepare for and enable a future digital transformation of how HRW executes its core mission of investigating human rights violations, exposing them, and demanding change.

The technology portfolio includes the tools needed for digital advocacy and targeted communications, knowledge management systems, digital (text, video, and audio) publishing stacks, ML/AI tools to automate investigations where possible, and critically the evolution and integration of marketing, finance, human resources, monitoring and evaluation, and other enterprise IT systems.

HRW investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. The organization is roughly 550 people of 70-plus nationalities and includes country experts, lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most at risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime, to refugees and children in need. It directs its advocacy towards governments, armed groups, and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies, and practices. To ensure its independence, it refuses government funding and carefully reviews all donations to ensure that they are consistent with its policies, mission, and values. HRW partners with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.

HRW's researchers conduct work in over 90 countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses. The organization writes detailed reports, news releases and tells the stories of what it finds, sharing them via social media with millions of online followers each day. News media often report on its investigations, furthering its reach. While it relies on in-person interviews, its research method has evolved to use technology - whether it is through using satellite imagery to track the destruction of villages and city blocks or mining big data for patterns in arrest rates or the deportation of immigrants - to deliver unimpeachable facts to those in positions of power to deliver human rights change, including governments, the United Nations, rebel groups, and corporations. HRW has also addressed abuses against those likely to face discrimination, including women, LGBT people, and people with disabilities as well as investigated and brought to light the baseless arrests of activists and political opposition figures. When it comes to ending abuses, some victories are big, and others are merely steps on a much longer journey to change. But each represents progress on the many issues HRW works on around the world. HRW's work is centered in its commitment to justice, dignity, compassion, and equality.

**REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS**

The Chief Information Officer oversees the Information Technology & Security Divisions which are comprised of approximately 40 staff members who are responsible for all aspects of HRW's Information Technology and Information Security needs.
