Despre job

We are looking for a proactive (Junior) Program Officer: Hungarian Program to join our global team and local office in Budapest, Hungary. You will play an instrumental role in PILnet’s Hungarian Program, and its Clearinghouse — the heartbeat of our organization — by strengthening the legal resilience of CSOs. We work directly with frontline organizations to pinpoint their legal hurdles and then bridge the gap by connecting them to pro bono lawyers at no cost. Beyond matching, we empower CSOs by co-creating essential resources, trainings, and guides that help them navigate complex legal landscapes safely.

The (Junior) Program Officer (Hungary Program) will be supervised and report to the Legal Program Manager and work on core PILnet programmatic tasks essential to the organization’s mission globally and particularly in Hungary. This role involves promoting the role of pro bono with pro bono lawyer volunteers, proactively work alongside local civil society organizations to understand their unmet legal needs, managing the Hungarian Clearinghouse process which matches the legal needs of civil society with the offer from pro bono legal volunteers. Maintaining vital relationships within the Hungarian legal and NGO sectors, broadly and supporting the implementation of specific local or regional projects.

Resource Support & Learning: Assist in the production and contextualization of PILnet’s global tools and guides with specific perspective on Hungary, ensuring materials are user-friendly and relevant to the legal realities of the CSOs we serve.
Network & Relationship Management: Under the guidance of Legal Program Manager and Program Director: Europe cultivate relationships with existing partners and conduct research to map out new potential CSO networks and pro bono providers. Curate the network of Hungarian pro bono lawyers and maintain relationships with legal professionals, key pro bono contacts, local and national Bar associations and civil society organisations.
Award Coordination: Coordinate the process of the Hungarian Pro Bono Award with the Hungarian Bar Association.
