Board Directors NGO Job Oxfam
NGO Jobs, Oxfam Jobs.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Oxfam is a global movement of people working together and with partners to end the injustice of inequality and poverty. We work with people and communities before, during and after crisis to create a world that is just and sustainable. Together, we fight inequality to end poverty and injustice.
Oxfam is currently in the process of establishing an affiliate (member) organisation in Kenya. This involves strengthening the Founding Board of Directors for the new Oxfam Kenya entity.
This follows a presence of Oxfam as a country program in Kenya since 1963 and a legacy of working with partners in long-term development programs, humanitarian assistance, peace and conflict resolution programs while actively engaged in campaigning for better governance and equitable access to services.
The first ever Oxfam Kenya Board of Directors was established in 2024.
Oxfam is now seeking additional, dedicated and inspiring Kenyans to join the team as Board Directors.

Responsibilities
The Board plays a crucial role in guiding the organisation’s strategic direction, overseeing governance and accountability, and ensuring effective implementation of Oxfam’s mission and values.
To complement the skill set amongst existing Board Directors, Oxfam Kenya is particularly seeking expertise amongst the following areas of Organisational Competency:
Digital Transformation
- Solid understanding of the opportunities created by the digital (communications) revolution with a focus on non-profits;
- Deep industry knowledge and management of risks and challenges associated with digital transformation including the protection of the reputation of Oxfam.
Financial skills
- Senior leadership experience in financial reporting and management, with a focus on non-profits.
In addition, Oxfam Kenya is particularly keen to welcome applications from those from a younger demographic, as this is under-represented within the profile of existing Board members.
To support this, Oxfam Kenya welcomes applications from those who do not yet have prior governance experience on a Board of Directors.
