About you

You will have a demonstrable background in environmental economics  and will be able to grow our organisational understanding and capability as nature markets continue to evolve.
Our preferred candidate for this role must be capable of advocating for grasslands, temperate rainforest and other overlooked habitats to be valued as attractive investments in these new markets. This will be based on meticulous research and knowledge of the ecosystem services provided by those habitats and the species within them.
Therefore, we need someone who complements their advanced understanding of environmental economics with stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.

About the role

Restoration of nature at scale and pace is a vital part of our response to the interlinked crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and declining human health. The abundance and diversity of native plants and fungi are the cornerstone of healthy and functioning ecosystems. Plantlife believes that restoration undertaken through and by, partnership with private landowners is the only model that can deliver at the scale and pace required.
The emergence of nature markets offers the potential for significant private investment in nature restoration in the UK. To deliver at scale and pace we need every nature markets mechanism to work across a broader range of habitats – particularly grasslands and temperate rainforest. We also need to build our own capability and capacity to fully engage as markets evolve.
This role will be key to developing and articulating the economic case for restoration of a broad range of habitats, prioritising grasslands and temperate rainforest. It will represent Plantlife in the debate and become a centre of excellence on this subject within the organisation
