Global humanitarian nonprofit operating aid, campaigns, and retail across 14+ countries
Oxfam is a 5,000+ person nonprofit fighting poverty through emergency response, long-term development, and policy campaigns across the UK and 13+ countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The hiring mix skews heavily toward operations (24 roles) and sales (13 roles), with management-level positions dominating — a pattern that reflects both the complexity of coordinating multi-country field operations and the revenue pressure from retail and fundraising channels. Active projects around planning-system implementation and volunteer-workforce digitization suggest internal-process modernization is a priority beneath the public-facing campaign work.

Oxfam operates a three-pillar model: emergency humanitarian response, long-term development partnerships, and policy campaigns targeting systemic poverty drivers. The organization maintains a significant retail footprint in the UK (670 physical shops plus an online secondhand and ethical-goods marketplace) alongside field operations in Ghana, Nigeria, the Philippines, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Mali, Kenya, Ethiopia, Yemen, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Iraq, and Jordan. With 5,001–10,000 staff split across operations, sales, finance, HR, legal, and communications, Oxfam coordinates complex supply chains for emergency aid, manages volunteer networks, and runs procurement and logistics for water, sanitation, and health programs. Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Oxford, the organization has evolved from a single campaign into a multinational humanitarian network.
