Position: UK Fisheries Transparency Advocacy Officer & Coordinator
Employer: Environmental Justice Foundation
Based: London – EJF has hybrid working (3 days in the office)
Salary range: £40,000-48,000 per year (dependent upon experience)
Position overview
This is an exciting opportunity to work with leading UK NGOs dedicated to protecting,
conserving, and restoring our ocean. The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) will be working
with Client Earth and Open Seas to promote UK leadership in improving domestic and
international fisheries transparency and governance to end illegal, unreported and unregulated
(IUU) fishing and related abuses.
This is a new coalition which pools the expertise of three leading NGOs in the marine space to
improve the UK’s anti-IUU fishing systems and policies and to promote UK leadership on ocean
governance and fisheries transparency across the world, such as through its spearheading of the
IUU Fishing Action Alliance. We are intent on driving positive policy change at a UK-wide level
towards sustainable and legal fishing, prioritising increased transparency in the UK fisheries
sector, and endorsement and adoption of the Global Charter for Fisheries Transparency, which is
the bedrock of our work. We are also encouraging the UK, as a significant global market for
seafood, to work closely with other markets, such as the EU, the USA or Japan, to harmonise
policies to stop IUU fishing. To make this happen, we are engaging with key decision-makers,
strengthening relationships with the seafood industry and the NGO community, and using media
engagement strategically.
To oversee the delivery of these objectives, we seek a full-time Advocacy Officer &
Coordinator to drive positive change in the UK Government and Parliament and coordinate our
project’s successful management. You will have excellent advocacy, public relations and
organisational skills and can work with a highly motivated and diverse team. You also possess
great written and verbal communication skills, initiative and professional drive. Experience in
working within coalitions and on fisheries policy are advantages.
