About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic individual who excels in policymaking, policy-relevant research, and managing complex relationships and projects, particularly those focused on global biodiversity and development challenges. As a key member of WCMC’s Policy team, you will play an instrumental role in advancing work at the intersection of international policy, nature indicators, ecosystem assessments, and the interplay of nature, gender, and human rights. The Policy team comprises over 25 experts and collaborates closely with diverse partners including UN agencies, governments, academia, and NGOs. In this role, you will be crucial in delivering inter- and multi-disciplinary policy-driven projects that align with our vision of a world living in harmony with nature. The successful candidate must have the skills to adeptly navigate complex projects and partnerships and streamline operations. Additionally, the ability to produce compelling, well-crafted materials for policy audiences will be key. This position offers the opportunity to be part of an innovative team committed to environmental stewardship, equity, and global sustainability. The successful applicant will contribute beyond shaping policies – acting as a catalyst for positive change and a more sustainable world. Please note this is not a United Nations post; WCMC is the employer. WCMC works in collaboration with UNEP at UNEP-WCMC and all work will be delivered under the auspices of UNEP-WCMC. This position is not suitable for visa sponsorship. We reserve the right to close this position as soon as a suitable applicant is found, so early application is encouraged.
