WRAP is a global environmental action NGO championing the shift towards a circular economy, fundamentally reshaping how we produce, consume, and manage resources. The systems that provide our everyday goods should contribute to the world's prosperity and sustainability instead of diminishing it. WRAP is driving Circular Living through four key areas: accelerating the circular economy, future-proofing food, preventing problem packaging and transforming textiles. We catalyse action from policy makers, businesses, NGOs and citizens to make it happen. We have offices in the UK, USA and Australia, and live projects in over 30 countries.

The role

As our Chief Programmes Officer (CPO), you will play a pivotal leadership role in shaping and delivering WRAP's global programme portfolio. Sitting on the Executive Team and reporting directly to the CEO, you will provide strategic direction across all programme areas and all geographies – from resource management and circular economy initiatives to food system transformation, packaging, and textiles. As Chief Programmes Officer, you'll lead the team to deliver impact, delight our partners and funders, and ensure that our programmes are rooted in a deep understanding of commercial, economic and social drivers, as well as the very best environmental evidence. A key focus of the role is managing WRAP's dual delivery model, ensuring the quality, consistency, and impact of both our direct delivery work and the programmes we deliver through strategic partners. This is a highly influential role with the opportunity to shape WRAP's long‑term strategy, strengthen international programmes, and drive real, measurable environmental and societal outcomes at scale. Expertise in at least one core WRAP programme area, such as food systems, packaging, textiles/fashion, behaviour change, or resource management (NetZero). Excellent communication, partnership‑building, and convening skills, with credibility across diverse audiences. Remote working/work at home options are available for this role.
