We provide innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments and campaigning organisations worldwide. Our special focus is on ending deforestation – an essential step in achieving urgent global goals on climate, nature and human rights.

The role: overview 

This role builds on Global Canopy’s long-standing influencing work with different strategic audiences – including policymakers, investors, companies, campaigners and the media – advocating for forests, nature and people; as well as our work developing and delivering ideas, stories and messages in the public arena. 

Our new Strategic and Political Engagement Lead will play a pivotal role in helping to align and connect this advocacy and engagement across programmes, drawing in the unique data and insights generated by our teams, and ensuring that we are strategic in reaching the audiences that can influence change. 

This comes at an important moment in the growth of the organisation, which now has a more complex set of programmes, datasets and domains – crossing both forests and nature, human rights and the just transition, and dependencies, impacts and opportunities. The challenge is to help create entry-points that draw on all this work, making it ‘more than the sum of the parts’; and helping teams to package and deliver it through an audience-focused lens that will cut through in the politics of the day.

To be successful in this role,  these are the things that will matter the most: 

• Deep knowledge and networks in the forests, climate, and nature finance space – and the right combination of technical, communications and creative skills to help unlock influence and impact where so many are just stuck. 

• Strong track record in defining, executing and building ongoing momentum behind impactful engagement strategies and plans that are responsive both to internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats.

• Proven track-record of delivering and managing cross functional teams to deliver, high quality and impactful engagement, particularly with finance sector and policymaker stakeholders.

Skills and experience:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to communicate complex concepts precisely in writing.

• Experience of working in, or closely with, the finance sector a very significant advantage.

• Strong experience of working as a trusted partner in a developed network and strategic relations to players and thought leaders in a relevant space.

• Ability to work collaboratively with technical and programme teams bringing a new lens to their work, facilitate new thinking and ability to bring this together with an organisation wide lens.

• An ability to strategically prioritise and identify key opportunities where a small organisation like Global Canopy can add value. 

• A self-starter with an ability to design, manage and conduct complex portfolio of engagement projects. 

• Facility for working with teams of technical experts.
