Policy and Comms Lead

Bethnal Green, United Kingdom Earthsight Full time

Interested in an exciting role which helps protect forests, the climate and human rights? This
may be the job for you.

Earthsight is looking for an experienced campaigner to lead our policy and comms work
delivering impactful analyses and advocacy on the impacts of Western consumption on the world’s
forests, native biomes and local communities.

Earthsight is a non-profit organisation dedicated to researching and investigating
environmental and social crime and injustice. We use cutting-edge investigative methods to
uncover and expose wrongdoing. Since emerging as a fully-fledged organisation in 2016, our
reports have garnered headlines, won awards and triggered major changes by governments and
corporations.

We seek to create positive change by influencing government policy, uncovering greenwash and
raising awareness among key constituencies about the impacts of global supply chains on the
world’s forests and forest communities.

Most global deforestation is driven by industrial production of a handful of major commodities,
including beef, soy, palm oil and wood. A large chunk of this production is to meet demand in
Western consumer markets. Over the past few years, Earthsight has played a key role in
highlighting the complicity of corporations and consumers in the EU, UK and US in the
destruction of forests overseas, as well as the abuses of local people which accompany that
destruction. As part of a global coalition, we have succeeded in getting laws passed or under
development in all those jurisdictions which aim to clean up these supply chains. Now we need
to ensure those laws are effectively enforced.

This role will be key to that. As part of a small team, you will help design and coordinate
implementation of our policy strategy and outputs. You will represent the organisation in
meetings with policymakers, government authorities and civil society, as well as help draft and
disseminate policy briefings and other advocacy material. You will also oversee our comms work.

preferably be based in the UK and able to come into our office in London regularly. Earthsight
is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to ensuring careers in the charity sector
are open to all. We value difference and believe it enhances our capabilities. We therefore
