Head of Policy - Marine (Governance)

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.

A superb communicator with excellent influencing skills, you’ll head up an innovative new programme focusing on renewable energy, fishing, shipping, recreation and conservation in key UK habitats. Leading the development of policy positions and influencing strategy for UK/EU change priorities, you’ll be responsible for external communications and maintain a full understanding of the issues around this theme. Experience of budget and people management is key, along with good problem-solving skills and a track record of influencing key stakeholders in marine governance.
