CEO

Oceana is campaigning around the globe to protect and restore the
world’s oceans.

Founded in 2001, Oceana is the largest international advocacy
organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. In the face of
many threats — from overfishing, habitat destruction, oil and
plastic pollution, and the killing of threatened species like
turtles, whales, and sharks, Oceana’s country-by-country approach
is delivering globally significant impacts to protect the oceans
and save the climate. A restored, healthy, and abundant ocean can
help fight climate change, sustain livelihoods, and feed more than
1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. That’s
why Oceana is campaigning for science-based policies in countries
that control one-quarter of the world’s wild fish catch. With more
than 275 victories to date, Oceana’s campaigns are saving the
oceans to help feed the world.

Oceana is now seeking an outstanding leader to drive the continued
success of the organization throughout the world. Reporting to
Oceana’s international Board of Directors, the CEO will be
responsible for setting the strategic direction for Oceana,
ensuring it stays focused on goals that will achieve meaningful
results for the oceans, guiding its external communications,
securing the funds necessary to accomplish its mission, and
maintaining Oceana’s financial integrity. Crucially, the CEO will
be responsible for leading and supporting a strong, talented,
motivated, and diverse staff around the world.

The ideal CEO will be a proven leader, with a track record of
achieving measurable policy changes and significant social impact.
They will demonstrate prior successes in fundraising, including the
ability to network and build long-term relationships with funders.
An excellent communicator, the CEO will be able to represent Oceana
effectively with staff, communities, partners, and the media. Most
importantly, the next CEO will bring a strong passion and
commitment to Oceana’s mission and objectives, and the capacity to
lead, mentor, and support global teams of incredibly driven and
skilled individuals through a demonstrated commitment to diversity,
equity, and inclusion.

oceans and restore them to their former levels of abundance, we
