Caribbean Lead - Consultant
We are recruiting a Caribbean Lead who, following the success of the first regional LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the Travel and Tourism Industry Symposium, will be tasked with developing, planning, promoting, and managing a conference in Barbados to further support LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts in the Caribbean and solidify our relationships with business, civil society and government. This conference will not only help strengthen Barbados’ reputation as an LGBTQ+ friendly destination, but will show that Barbados is a leader in LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Caribbean.
The Open For Business Fellowship
The Open For Business Fellowship is an opportunity for employees from our coalition partners to work with our core team for 3 to 12 months on a specific aspect of the coalition. It’s a respected leadership development program that provides Fellows with exposure to global LGBT+ rights and gives them large amounts of responsibility over running key parts of a global charity.
Brunswick, GSK and McKinsey have all taken advantage of the Fellowship. There are a variety of Fellowships that we offer, and they each have a flexible length, though we suggest 3-12 months. The program greatly benefits employees by developing their key skills and exposing them to a global view on LGBT+ inclusion. The Fellowship positions we have open are listed below.
