๐Ÿข About Amos Trust

Amos Trust is a small, creative human rights organization focused on justice, advocacy, and solidarity work, particularly in Palestine.

About This Role

This Events Manager role involves coordinating high-profile live events and tours while managing complex international travel programs to Palestine, requiring logistical precision in challenging environments.
