Celtic Seas - Policy Officer

The world is changing – and so are we. After 50 years, we’re more determined than ever to find solutions to the great environmental threats of our time. As a truly international network, we need our offices in the global South and East – the economic powerhouses of tomorrow – to be as strong as those in the North and West. We need to share more compelling stories of our work, stories that will change attitudes and inspire action. And we need to lead the way for organisations aspiring to work sustainably, with the opening of our ground breaking new Living Planet Centre in Woking. This is your chance to join the world’s leading environmental network as we face our biggest challenges yet. 

 

You’ll play a key role in this €4 million cross-border project, focusing on good governance of our Celtic Seas. You’ll be providing expertise and technical advice on marine policy to our partners, using your in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Ecosystem Approach, EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Marine Spatial Planning. Strong relationship-building, research and advocacy skills are key, along with a relevant degree and ideally a post-graduate qualification in or equivalent experience of marine environmental science and Marine policy / governance.
