Programme Manager, Caribbean

Overview

We are seeking qualified candidates to join the Caribbean team and contribute to the development and management of projects focused on biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods in the face of climate change.

You will take a leading role in a programme that spans multiple island nations, including supporting the recovery of threatened species and ecosystems, countering illegal wildlife trade, controlling Alien Invasive Species, and strengthening the capacity of local partners including NGOs, community groups and government agencies. You will provide management, technical support and advice to projects and partners across the Caribbean region working on all aspects of biodiversity conservation. You will manage relationships with key local partners and have responsibility for managing the development and delivery of specific projects, from their planning and fund-raising through resourcing and delivery to evaluation and reporting, ensuring conservation impact and compliance with internal standards, policies and procedures, funder requirements and external legislation.

The post would be ideal for someone with experience in managing multidisciplinary conservation projects and programmes in-country, knowledge and expertise on species ecology, and conservation management strategies for threatened species and habitats. Proven experience in project and people management and financial administration are essential to oversee the effective delivery of projects, as are the writing and communication skills required for successful fund-raising. You will draw on these wide-ranging abilities and practical experience in using science and current approaches to respond to locally-identified needs to restore and conserve native biodiversity while promoting sustainable livelihood opportunities for island residents.

An excellent team player, you will enjoy working in a dynamic team environment where creative approaches and thinking are being applied to conservation challenges. A higher degree or equivalent level qualification in a relevant discipline and good experience in a comparable role and working situation are expected. In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within a major organisation at the forefront of global conservation.
