<h1>International Campaign Director</h1> This new senior position, based in Washington, D.C., reports to the Executive Director. The Government Accountability Project is a 25-year old non-profit public interest organization that promotes government and corporate accountability by providing legal and advocacy support to employees who “blow the whistle” on unlawful conduct and other practices that endanger public health, safety, and the environment. Focusing on the areas of nuclear facilities oversight, food safety, environmental enforcement, worker health and safety, and whistleblower law and policy, GAP uses an activist strategy that combines litigation, policy advocacy, media and legislative outreach, and coalition building to both defend whistleblowers and seek reform on their underlying disclosures. GAP is a national organization with offices in Washington, D.C. and Seattle, Washington and the equivalent of 20 full-time staff. 
 
The International Campaign Director, working with a broad senior team, will provide leadership, strategic thinking and direction to GAP’s new campaign to make the multilateral development banks more accountable and transparent by promoting whistleblower protection for bank employees.
