We are seeking a highly motivated Programme Officer with excellent numerical and analytical skills and a commitment to providing accurate information and analyses to decision-makers.

This role will support UNEP-WCMC's Nature Conserved team, particularly with our work on ensuring that international trade in deforestation-related commodities is sustainable.

Applicants should be proficient in the manipulation, analysis, and visualisation of large, complex datasets in R and have experience of writing and managing replicable code scripts.

As contributing to reports for policy-makers will be a key aspect of the role, the successful applicant will also have experience of synthesising information and conveying key results in accurate, succinct and engaging outputs.

A basic knowledge of and strong interest in global trade and/or deforestation-related issues and relevant international policy frameworks is also important.

Practical experience in analysing, cleaning and manipulating trade data (e.g., UN Comtrade data or national customs data) and spatial data would be highly valued.

We will provide you with the challenge of working on high impact projects where your work really makes a difference in the field of conservation.

In addition to training and development opportunities, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including generous pension contributions.

If you are looking for a rewarding and challenging post where you can put your technical expertise and excellent numerical skills to good use while contributing to global efforts to safeguard nature, we want to hear from you.
