If you are an expert in seafood markets and supply chains, aquaculture and fisheries policies this is an amazing opportunity to use your knowledge to protect the future of our planet.
Our world is experiencing a catastrophic decline in biodiversity and food production is a major driver of this loss. At WWF we have a vision that our planet can sustainably produce the food needed to feed a growing global population without harming nature. With seafood representing a significant proportion of global animal protein consumed the need to deliver sustainably produced seafood is vital for us and our planet. To this end, WWF has a long-standing partnership with Marks and Spencer (M&S) to promote sustainable and responsible seafood production and consumption in the UK.

You will commission and manage research and studies to deliver specific seafood programme objectives too.

To play a part in building back nature, you must have a relevant degree or experience of seafood supply chains, aquaculture, fisheries and/or marine science in public, private, academic or NGO sectors.

Capable of analysing scientific evidence and data you will be comfortable understanding, absorbing and synthesising complex information, and translating it into impactful policy, advice and communications. You will enjoy working in dynamic teams that could be remote, multicultural or matrix too.
Good at managing projects, you will be results orientated and able to take decisions and solve problems. You will also be able to demonstrate a commitment to, and passion for, our mission.
