As part of our Climate Solutions Partnership with HSBC and the World Resources Institute, WWF-UK has created an exciting Nature-based Solutions Accelerator. The Accelerator is founded on a shared ambition to help remove the barriers to widespread and large-scale adoption of nature-based solutions.

We now have a unique opportunity for a communications expert with an understanding of the nature-based solutions (NbS) or conservation finance space to join us as Knowledge & Communications Manager and support our work in the NbS Accelerator at a crucial point in the project.

As Knowledge & Communications Manager, you will collaborate with colleagues to write outputs from the Accelerator targeted to priority audiences as well as deliver user-friendly external guidance, tools, articles, webinars and events. This may involve overseeing partner suppliers to ensure work is produced on brief, to budget and within deadlines. You will support the development and delivery of the Accelerators’ stakeholder engagement events and create content and articles within the wider Climate Solutions Partnership too. You will also look for opportunities with colleagues to support content commissions, including photography, film or infographics to help illustrate the work of the Accelerator. Important will be the ability to stay up to date with outputs from other accelerators or similar operations for investment in Nature-based Solutions or financing nature restoration.

For this key role, you must have knowledge and an understanding of NbS and conservation and been involved in creating compelling content. Comfortable working in international and specialist teams, within multi-organisational projects and overseeing suppliers, you will have experience running or supporting webinars or events to communicate key messages and engage stakeholders. You will also be effective at synthesising complex technical information and translating this into impactful advice and communications. You will have knowledge of impact investment or sustainable finance in the social or environmental space, multilateral or blended funding or NGO corporate partnerships too.

A confident communicator, you will be effective at influencing others and good at prioritising your workload and building strong external relationships.
