Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home, the Earth? Working at WWF could be your opportunity of a lifetime.

All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of nature loss. A growing realisation that nature is our life-support system. And that nobody will be spared from the impacts of its loss. Here at WWF, we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.

What we do

We are an independent conservation organisation, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to business and government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainable.

Mission

WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. To support our commitment to embedding human rights and respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities across WWF’s portfolio, WWF International established a Safeguards and Social Policies Team in 2019. Led by the Senior Director, Safeguards and Human Rights, the team has oversight responsibility over WWF’s Environmental and Social Safeguards Framework (ESSF) and Statements of Principles for Human Rights, Gender Equality, and Indigenous Peoples (SOPs, replacing the Social Policies, effective 1 July 2023). The team has a global mandate in providing network services as part of WWF International’s Secretariat function, and sits within the Global Operations Division. WWF International is currently recruiting for a Senior Coordinator & Knowledge Manager, E&S Safeguards and Human Rights. Joining an existing team of six this is a key role that provides foundational support in relation to the implementation of the ESSF and SOPs.
