Government jobs in Malaysia

Founded in 2020 by international crimes litigators with over 35 years of combined experience, Partners in Justice International (PJI) is a woman‑led and woman‑founded organisation that envisions a world in which victims and survivors of grave crimes have access to justice wherever they live.

To make this vision a reality, PJI strengthens local justice processes for victims and survivors of grave crimes such as crimes against humanity, war crimes, conflict‑related sexual violence, and genocide. We accomplish this by sharing the legal strategies and techniques used at the international level with local justice actors — serious crime prosecutors, victim representatives, and investigators — who are working in post‑conflict and post‑dictatorship jurisdictions. We provide our partners with the sustained technical and practical support they need to attain justice through strategic litigation in their domestic courts, while also building collaborative networks of on‑the‑ground practitioners capable of investigating, building, and litigating cases long after PJI is gone.

To ensure maximum impact, PJI prioritises work in jurisdictions that are under‑served by the international community, where there are few comparable organisations working, and where there is a pathway to justice for victims and survivors.

PJI’s work is grounded in our values. We only work where our support is specifically requested by the local justice actors and/or victims. We ground our technical support in respect for our colleagues, and we stay the course for the long term, accompanying our peers through all steps of the justice process. As we do so, the skills are shared, and ultimately PJI is no longer needed.

Building on strong momentum, PJI seeks a Development Director who will develop, lead, and implement a comprehensive fundraising and institutional partnership strategy to sustain and grow PJI’s programmes. This is both a strategic and hands‑on role, and requires an experienced development professional who can diversify and expand PJI’s funding from all available sources including foundations, individuals, aligned corporations, government agencies, and intergovernmental organisations.

In year one, the Development Director will work to sustain and surpass PJI’s average revenue of $530,000/year. This currently includes: the management and renewal of approximately $430,000 of existing contract and foundation funds, and the cultivation and renewal of approximately $100,000/year from individual donors.

This is a newly created position and we look forward to working with the new Development Director to assess current capacity, determine robust but reasonable goals, and refine expectations.

Working closely with PJI’s Co‑Executive Directors and the PJI Board Development Committee, the Development Director will initially be responsible for all fundraising activities; as the organization expands its revenue base, the role may have the opportunity to shape and grow a development team.

We are looking for someone who shares PJI’s values of kindness, equity, respect, and integrity; is deeply committed to helping victims and survivors access justice close to home; seeks to challenge power imbalances in philanthropy; and is creative, thoughtful, and principled. We seek a partner to join together with us, to be part of our vibrant, committed team.
