Transparency International (TI) is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. In collaboration with more than 100 chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, Germany, TI raises awareness of the damaging effects of corruption and works with partners in government, business and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it.

For the years 2019-2020, the TI movement has identified two thematic priorities which will drive its global advocacy. The area of corrupt money flows will focus primarily on the abuse of anonymous shell companies for corruption, and on the effective implementation of anti-money laundering policies. The area of political integrity will focus primarily on promoting transparency and accountability in political finance and lobbying. We are looking for a talented and outstanding individual to support the development of the latter priority.

- Develop funding proposals
