Full time fixed term contract to end 2014
Ref: 1622

WWF believes in a future where people and nature thrive. Best known as the world’s leading conservation body, we’re also committed to safeguarding the natural world through tackling the global threat of climate change. And by helping people to change the way they live, to ease pressure on natural resources.

We have recently received funding to lead a project under the EC LIFE+ Programme, focusing on reducing the environmental impacts of European Food Consumption (specifically GHG emissions), building on our Livewell programme in the UK which illustrated that many of the principles of a healthy diet are consistent with the dietary changes needed to reduce GHGE to tackle climate change. In collaboration with partners in Europe, the project will demonstrate sustainable diets in member states (specifically Spain, France and Sweden) and demonstrate tangible policy pathways for implementation disseminating results across the EU.

The Stakeholder Relations Manager will have responsibility for delivering a stakeholder engagement strategy. This will include developing a comprehensive stakeholder analysis. The post holder will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and will need to build close working relationships with key internal and external stakeholders and work closely with project partners to ensure that the objectives are delivered. One of the primary objectives is to establish a network of European food stakeholders, representing a range of interests in the food systems with the capacity to influence change, across the EU.
