Islington, United Kingdom Greenpeace UK Full time

About Greenpeace

We’re independent, and we don’t accept any funding from governments, corporations, or political parties – our work is funded by ordinary people. That means we’re free to confront governments and corporations responsible for the destruction of the natural world and push for real change.


We do this by investigating, documenting, and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. We work to bring about change by lobbying, consumer pressure, and mobilising members of the general public. And we take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green and peaceful future.


Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a small group of concerned individuals, who set sail to Amchitka Island off the coast of Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. Their old fishing boat was called “The Greenpeace”. Today, Greenpeace is present in over 40 countries around the world. Our movement is growing every day, and our commitment to realising our vision is as strong as ever.


We find ourselves at a pivotal point in human history. Climate change and biodiversity loss are both rapidly accelerating, and we’re seeing and feeling the effects of it ever more – in the changes to our air, sea levels and more extreme weather events, and in the daily warnings of ecological collapse. The need to act to protect our planet has never been so urgent, yet governments and corporations are still dragging their feet.


Vision

A world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.


Mission

To halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of the this decade in a fair and equitable way


The Role

In this role, you will provide leadership, strategic direction and oversight for the Finance and Operations Department, and play a vital cross-organisational leadership role. You will manage deputies and create a ‘can do’ culture which ultimately helps our campaigns succeed out in the world.


The purpose of this role is to provide long-term leadership, strategic direction, and oversight for the Finance and Operations Department, ensuring that our financial, legal, IT, and facilities functions are capable of supporting the organisation to deliver its campaign ambition and conducted in alignment with the UK and global Greenpeace vision and strategy. The role will elevate finance in the organisation, be a crucial part of the senior management team and work closely with the board as a strategic partner.


The Finance and Operations Director will continually develop Greenpeace’s capacity to deliver innovative, effective financial management, governance, risk management, and resource allocation while helping manage organisational risks; both within the UK and in support of priority NROs and the global programme.


It would be beneficial if you could bring:

  • Experience of devising and implementing change management initiatives that encourage understanding and inclusion.
  • Experience of overseeing changes or updates to organisational systems, structures and design including but not limited to risk management, finance and governance.
  • Commitment to the values of Allyship, an understanding of social movements, and ideas about how organisations like Greenpeace can effectively participate in and enable them.



This is a full-time, permanent position, with an expectation to be at our Head Office in Islington, London, 2-days per week.


This role is being managed by our selected Recruitment Partner, Practicus. All applications will be directed to them.
