Job description

Our client's Nature Recovery team is looking for a Head of Nature Economy and Business Development to develop and deliver an integrated advisory offer with a focus on nature economy markets and grow their ecological consultancy, so it continues to provide a vital income stream for the organisation.

Head of Nature Economy and Business Development

Salary: £43,440 - £48,749 per annum

Contract type: Permanent

Working hours: Full time

Location: Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 1RY

About The Employer

Our client is Norfolk's largest environmental charity, working for the protection and enhancement of Norfolk's wildlife and wild places. The organisation protects and restores the county's wild spaces by managing their nature reserves, working in partnership throughout the landscape and inspiring people to enjoy and care for Norfolk's nature through projects, education activities, events and campaigns.

The Role

This impactful and dynamic role will help the charity to scale up their nature recovery work and increase the area of land managed and restored for nature across Norfolk, therefore contributing to the national aim of 30% of the UK's land and sea managed for nature by 2030.

You will lead the charity's consultancy business that offers a comprehensive range of professional ecological and arboricultural services with profits invested back into the organisation to enable its vital work to continue.

The emergence of the nature economy offers the potential for significant private investment, and you will lead the organisation's journey into the nature market sphere where diverse financing opportunities will give the charity the ability to deliver nature recovery at scale.

This is an exciting time to join our client in this new role that will have significant impact in helping to tackle the nature and climate crisis we face today.

In return, the organisation offers a competitive benefits package.
