Transparency International EU (TI EU) is an international non-profit organisation under Belgian law (AISBL) based in Brussels (Belgium). We work closely with Transparency International national chapters in over 100 countries worldwide and the International Secretariat (TI-S) based in Berlin.
As part of the global Transparency International movement, TI EU coordinates Transparency International’s advocacy toward the EU institutions. The mission of TI EU is to prevent corruption and promote integrity, transparency and accountability in EU institutions, policies and legislation. This will in turn enhance efforts at the national level to fight corruption and promote equality and access to justice for citizens.
TI EU has been at the forefront of efforts to improve the integrity framework of the EU institutions through high-quality research and advocacy in the areas of lobbying transparency and ethics reform. We are now looking for experienced and motivated individual to lead a small team that will take this work to the next level.

The Head of EU Integrity will be TI’s voice on these issues in Brussels and will be responsible for strategic planning, stakeholder management, line management and fundraising. The successful candidate will be tasked to deliver ambitious goals in the context of Transparency International’s global and EU strategies.
