Job description

The Government has promised to halt the decline of nature by 2030 and net zero by 2050, committing to decarbonising our energy systems as a core government mission. The next few years will be critical in securing nature based solutions as part of the drive to reach net zero and in developing our understanding of and engagement with private investment for nature’s recovery.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Policy Officer to convene environmental policy experts to agree bold shared policy positions. This role will focus on economic systems change, including innovative work on ways to drive private investment in nature; and on the role that nature must play in helping us to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. There will be lots of thinking, writing and opportunities to shape shared campaigns with excellent opportunities to engage with and work alongside some of the leading experts in these policy areas. You will play a key role in delivering those messages to key influencers in Government and Parliament.

We are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail, a good networker with the ability to listen and negotiate, a reasoned and convincing style of written and verbal communication, with a passion for nature conservation. Find more information and how to apply here.
