Oxford, United Kingdom Global Canopy Full time

Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit that targets the market forces destroying nature. We do this by improving transparency and accountability. We provide innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments and campaigning organisations worldwide. 

Corporate Performance: A growing number of companies and financial institutions are seeking to mitigate their impacts on nature. But many have made commitments that are not being met, and others are failing to take any action at all. Through our Corporate Performance work and Forest 500 project, we assess the policies and performance of influential companies and financial institutions. Our newly launched Deforestation Action Tracker monitors financial institutions with significant climate commitments to track their action on deforestation and associated human rights abuses.

We also support financial institutions and investors by providing a suite of guidance including our Deforestation-free finance Roadmap, Pensions Guidance and our Deforestation-free investment mandate. And we support the finance sector, policy makers and other stakeholders by providing market-leading data on deforestation and ESG metrics through our Forest IQ project. 

The role: overview 

This role will lead strategic communications for Global Canopy’s programme objectives under the Corporate Performance programme, and will support Global Canopy's wider communications to build the organisation's profile, brand and messaging.

Working as part of the Uptake workstream within Corporate Performance, and also as part of the Global Canopy Communications team, you will take responsibility for leading all aspects of public relations for the programme - press, media, events, promotion and publicity.

To be successful in this role, these are the things that will matter the most:

  • Writing - demonstrable experience of creating compelling and concise written pieces both from scratch and from detailed technical information, accurately and creatively.
  • Planning - demonstrable experience of creating and delivering communications plans for data/insight, brand and product releases, or in response to external events, to deliver on Global Canopy’s strategic priorities.
  • Engage and influence - demonstrable experience of building relationships with key people and organisations including journalists and partner organisations.
  • Decision-making - make sound tactical decisions on the right public relations approach and messaging emphasis to ensure our external communications work remains tightly aligned with our strategy for engagement and impact.
  • Innovative - bring new ideas and approaches to the table, think creatively and question assumptions.

Required skills and experience:

  • Outstanding written and verbal communications skills.
  • Experience and success in strategic communications i.e. using communications to deliver on strategic goals through many routes, including advocacy, engagement, partnership working.
  • Track record in creating, delivering and evaluating communications plans; including a strong focus on press and media relations.
  • Track record of working with complex or technical information and making it accessible to a variety of audiences.
  • Track record of working on global issues with multiple partners.
  • Experience of building relationships with journalists, and partnering with other organisations to leverage impact.

At Global Canopy, we value diversity and inclusion. You can read our diversity statement on our website. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and are committed to having a team with a diverse set of skills, experiences and abilities. We are committed to reducing systemic barriers in our recruitment processes. 

Global Canopy works on issues of tropical deforestation. We are particularly interested in strengthening our team to include those with a background from forest regions such as Latin America and South East Asia. We welcome applications from people from these regions.

Global Canopy is an inclusive employer and accommodations will be made to allow anyone who requires additional support to apply for this role. Please get in touch with us if you require any additional support.
