    Description
    Chief Advisor - Marine

    * £Woking, GU21 4LL / Hybrid Working


    This is a UK based contract and as such, you are required to have the Right to Work in the UK.

    With an established track record in thought leadership on marine science and policy as well as a good understanding of the ocean-climate nexus, you understand the importance of creating a world where people and nature can thrive together.

    That is why this role as Chief Advisor - Marine with the world's leading independent conservation organisation is perfect for you.


    Our major goal is to find solutions to the Triple Challenge of restoring nature, tackling climate change and feeding a growing global population all within the available resource limits of our one planet.

    As a member of our Science Team, you will help ensure we are viewed by the academic community and specialist bodies as a science and evidence-based organisation with conservation programmes and communications that are always informed by the latest scientific thinking.


    As Chief Advisor you will lead our scientific understanding on marine issues and their impacts on the natural world and human society.

    You will help guide WWF-UK and WWF Network strategies on marine issues as well as help find solutions to address our Triple Challenge and reverse the decline in global biodiversity.

    We will look to you to provide technical support to our conservation and blue carbon work in UK coastal waters and be the lead expert on ocean systems and the drivers impacting them, including the potential for ocean tipping points.

    You will also act as a primary contact in your area of expertise with relevant UK government departments, specialists in the private sector, other NGOs and international policy-makers and have the ability to influence policy.

    You will help identify and fill knowledge gaps as well as provide the evidence underpinning WWF policy positions.


    To play your part in saving our planet, you must have a track record in thought leadership on marine science and policy, coupled with a good understanding of the ocean-climate nexus and the negative drivers impacting ocean systems.

    You will also possess a good grasp of current science and policy debates, along with experience of providing strategic leadership to organisations and programmes.

    You will have sound knowledge of international policy and governance structures as they relate to the oceans including the UNFCCC, CBD and the High Seas Treaty.


    Effective at influencing key political and business stakeholders and shaping policy debates, you will also have excellent communication and advocacy skills.

    Good at building relationships, you will be comfortable inspiring direct reports and translating knowledge into policy, communications and programme design.

    If you have the knowledge to provide scientific expertise and advice across our organisation to help us build a movement in defence of nature, we would love to hear from you.
