About the Tech Diplomacy Global Institute Tech Diplomacy Global Institute is a young international institute working at the intersection of technology and diplomacy. As the organisation continues to develop its work and international engagement, it is seeking a Programme Officer who can contribute across several important areas of its operations. The role offers significant exposure to international work and provides the successful candidate with the opportunity to support visible activities involving ministries, diplomatic missions, international organisations, experts and other stakeholders. According to the vacancy announcement, the successful applicant will work alongside the Chief of Staff and report directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO). About the Programme Officer Position The Programme Officer role has been designed as a generalist position. Rather than focusing on a single technical area, the successful candidate will be expected to manage multiple responsibilities and work across different functions within the institute. This may include supporting communications, conducting research, drafting written materials, coordinating expert engagement, organising events and managing professional correspondence. The successful applicant will also provide direct support to the leadership team and will be trusted with visible and potentially sensitive responsibilities from an early stage. The role may therefore be particularly attractive to professionals who enjoy working in fast-moving environments and are comfortable handling a variety of assignments simultaneously.

Conducting research on relevant policy, technology and international affairs topics. Drafting correspondence, briefings and other written materials. Coordinating the institute’s Expert Councils.

In addition, applicants should have at least one other working language, which may be valuable when working across an international environment involving stakeholders from different countries and institutions.

The ability to work independently with limited supervision. Confidence in supporting senior leaders and external stakeholders. A proactive approach to managing tasks and solving problems.

An Opportunity for International Exposure and Responsibility TDGI has highlighted that it is a young institute with a small team. The organisation has been transparent that the salary for the position is modest. However, the role offers other forms of professional value, including access to international networks, significant responsibility and exposure to high-level international work. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute directly to activities involving leadership, Expert Councils, ministries, missions and international organisations. This level of exposure could make the opportunity particularly valuable for a professional seeking practical experience at the intersection of technology, diplomacy, international policy and global cooperation.
