Advocacy Officer

The Advocacy Officer will play a critical role in executing B2P’s global and regional advocacy strategy, helping ensure that rural transport infrastructure is seen, funded, and scaled as a solution for climate adaptation, economic equity, and sustainable development. Reporting directly to the Director of Global Advocacy & Partnerships, the Advocacy Officer will support high-impact engagements, help coordinate B2P’s coalition and multilateral participation, and manage the day-to-day execution of our advocacy deliverables. This is a role for someone who can write with clarity, think strategically, and bring coordination to a fast-moving portfolio of work.
