People Management Officer (7-Month Maternity Cover)

About Forest Peoples Programme Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) is an international NGO that has been working with Indigenous Peoples and forest peoples for 35 years since it was established in 1990. As of 2026, we work in 18 countries across South and Central America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with over 50 partners based in the tropical forest belt. We work directly and in solidarity with communities and peoples, supporting them to secure their rights to their traditional lands, territories, and resources, protect their forests and ways of life, and choose their own futures. Working at local, national and global levels FPP supports indigenous peoples and forest peoples to effect change from the bottom up - grounded in struggles to advance the enjoyment of their rights and seek remedy for violations. At the same time, we work to ensure the voices and priorities of indigenous peoples and forest peoples shape national and international law and policy - e.g. relating to business and human rights, climate, and biodiversity - so that resulting regulatory and market reform better serves and respects their rights. We have 70 people on the team including human rights lawyers, anthropologists and social scientists working with communities and local organisations around the global tropical belt. Up to half of the team live and work from their homes around the world.
