Programme Officer

We are seeking a dynamic individual who excels in the realms of policymaking, policy-relevant research, and the management of complex relationships and projects, particularly those focused on global biodiversity and development challenges.

As a key member of WCMC’s Policy team, the successful candidate will be instrumental in advancing our work at the intersection of international policy, nature indicators, ecosystem assessments, and the interplay of nature, gender, and human rights. The Policy team counts over 25 experts, and collaborates closely with diverse partners, including UN agencies, governments, academia, and NGOs. In this role, you will be crucial in delivering inter- and multi-disciplinary policy-driven projects that align with our vision of a world living in harmony with nature.

The role holder must have the skills to adeptly navigate complex projects and partnerships, streamline operations. In addition the ability to produce compelling, well-crafted materials for policy audiences will be key. This position offers the opportunity to be part of an innovative team committed to environmental stewardship, equity, and global sustainability. The successful applicant will make contributions that will extend beyond shaping policies – they will be a catalyst for positive change and a more sustainable world.

This is not a United Nations Post. WCMC is the employer for this role. WCMC works in collaboration with UNEP at UNEP-WCMC and all work will be delivered under the auspices of UNEP-WCMC.
