About the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids
By
changing public attitudes and public policies on tobacco, the Campaign
works to prevent children from smoking, to help smokers quit, and to
protect everyone from secondhand smoke. Established in 1996, the
Campaign envisions a world free from the death and disease caused by
tobacco. The Campaign promotes public
policies that have been proven to reduce tobacco use and exposure to
secondhand smoke, including higher tobacco taxes, comprehensive
smoke-free laws, strict bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and
sponsorship, and graphic warning labels on tobacco products.
Internationally, as a partner in the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce
Tobacco Use, CTFK supports governments and non-governmental
organizations in promoting and implementing these policies in low- and
middle-income countries where more than 80 percent of tobacco-related
deaths will occur in the coming decades.
The Ideal Candidate

new Country Director will be a strategic thinker and effective manager
who can balance the broader program goals with the day to day
coordination, program execution, and collaboration. S/he will have deep
knowledge of Indonesian political systems, processes, and players as
well as the opportunities and challenges of advancing policy change at
the national and regional level. S/he will be
a strategic and analytical thinker who partners effectively with
grantees and stakeholders on the ground and has the gravitas and
personal agility to navigate a complex policy making process. High level of proficiency in spoken and written Bahasa Indonesia and English is required.
