Head of Nature-based Solutions:
Job description
Our planet is in peril. We are facing a triple challenge. Averting dangerous climate change, feeding and providing sustainable livelihoods for a growing global population and creating space for nature.
At WWF UK we are front and centre in meeting these challenges and as part of that are seeking to build the systemic infrastructure needed to reduce transaction costs and drive higher volumes of nature-based solutions (NbS) activity.
Working with our partners, HSBC and the World Resources Institute, we have recently established an "NbS Accelerator' to deploy and finance nature-based solutions that deliver against a societal challenge and protect, manage and/or restore natural capital.
This strategy has created anincredible opportunity for a senior level programme deliverer to become our
Head of Nature-Based Solutions and drive the development of the needed systemic infrastructure to reduce transaction costs and drive higher volumes of NbS activity.
As
Head of Nature-Based Solutions, you will
oversee our Accelerator team and work closely will our partners to
agree priorities and coordinate activities. You will ensure work is developed and delivered to a high standard and KPI's are met as well as manage budgets. In
collaboration with our partners, you will identify effective ways to
support NbS projects with a focus on sharing learning and development of bankable, scalable replicable models for NbS. We will also look to you to
drive growth by attracting significant co-funding through finding new investors and partners. You will
represent the Accelerator at international meetings and promote NbS solutions at international conferences of strategic relevance too.
To succeed, you must have a
track record of managing successful programmes in an international organisation. You will possess a good
understanding of the current opportunities and challenges in delivering NbS as well as knowledge of corporate sustainability in so far as it relates to NbS.
Comfortable motivating and inspiring teams to deliver you will be effective at building partnerships and coordinating activities across international boundaries. An
excellent project manager, you will have a broad understanding of business planning and financing too. You will also be familiar the realities of delivering conservation and social development programmes.
A strategic thinker, you will
possess strong communication and influencing skills as well as a general understanding of the technical aspects of NbS, including relevant regional and global policies. Naturally, you will have a passion for the natural world.
If you understand the realities of delivering NbS in an international context, we would love to hear from you.
Please visit our website via the link, complete the online registration and submit a copy of your up-to-date CV with the Supporting Statement highlighting what makes you a good fit for us.
Our policies and benefits reflect the importance of people being able to have a good work-life balance and being able to bring their 'full self' to work.
Our world needs you like never before.We are the first generation to know we are destroying the world and we could be the last that can do anything about it.
We are looking for people who are passionate about making it politically, socially and economically unacceptable to destroy our planet's natural resources.
We need you to join us in the fight for our world.-
