Spain's public-interest employment market is spread across several kinds of organisation rather than one neat think-tank sector. Madrid concentrates institutional relations, national advocacy and strategic communications, including rule-of-law work at Fundación Hay Derecho; Barcelona has internationally connected health research and nonprofit teams; and ECODES recruits climate-policy specialists from Zaragoza and Madrid. This collection brings those employers together with organisations such as Save the Children España, ONCE, ISGlobal, Street Child, Entreculturas, Provivienda and Fundación Juan XXIII.
The jobs range from policy analysis, campaigning and research to programme delivery, fundraising, communications, partnerships, operations and the corporate teams that keep mission-led organisations running. Not every vacancy is directly political: this is an employer-led collection, so it also shows support roles inside the selected organisations and advisory firms. Spanish is common in domestic advocacy and service delivery, while international research, development and some strategic-communications teams work in English; each advert remains the authority.
Frequently Asked Questions

- This page tracks 157 openings from 18 employers, including Save the Children España, ONCE, ECODES, ISGlobal, Street Child, Entreculturas, Fundación Juan XXIII, Provivienda, One Acre Fund, ROOST, ATREVIA, Edelman and Brunswick Group.
- What kinds of jobs are included?

- Do I need Spanish for public-interest work in Spain?
- Domestic policy, community programmes, fundraising and work with Spanish institutions usually require professional Spanish. International research, global development and some advisory teams are more likely to operate in English. Check the language evidence on the individual advert rather than assuming from the organisation's name.
- Are all jobs here political or at a think tank?
- No. Spain has relatively few continuously hiring think tanks, so the collection deliberately covers the wider ecosystem: foundations, NGOs, research institutes, international-development organisations and public-affairs advisers. Because it follows employers, it includes their operational and specialist roles as well as policy-facing posts.
