We are recruiting Global Leaders for our new ambitious goals to build a future where people live in harmony with nature
Never before has the planet faced environmental threats of the scale and
urgency we see today. But we are also in a unique moment of
unparalleled opportunity for the future of our planet and our society.
Last year, more than 193 countries agreed for the first time to
integrate social, economic and environmental agendas through the
Sustainable Development Goals and to work toward a decarbonized future
through the Paris Climate Agreement. WWF must capitalize on this
momentum, and we need visionary leaders that will drive innovative,
large-scale programmes that deliver results against those goals. This is
an opportunity for the right person in the right place to have a
profound impact on the Earth’s future.
Last year, WWF launched a new strategy that unifies our global presence
and the multiple strengths of the WWF Network in a shared vision to
achieve six measurable, time-bound goals tied to the Sustainable
Development Goals, and reflecting thinking at the scale of systems
(i.e., financial systems, supply chains, and government policies).
The
WWF Network is now recruiting Global Practice Leaders to spearhead each
of the six goals (Climate & Energy, Food, Forests, Freshwater,
Oceans, and Wildlife) and three cross-cutting themes (Finance,
Governance and Markets).
Reporting to the WWF Network Executive Team, our highest executive body
chaired by the Director General of WWF International, each Practice
Leader will play a pivotal role in knitting together practitioners from
across our network, and cultivating new, game-changing ideas and taking
them to scale through partnerships with government, the private sector
and civil society. Practice Leaders will take advantage of exceptional
conditions—a respected global organization with extraordinary history
and brand power, 5 million members, a presence in more than 80 countries
with 6,500-staff unified in support of a single strategy, six core
goals, renowned scientific expertise and highly influential partners.
With these resources, Practice Leaders will have the platform to achieve
innovative, systematic and far-reaching shifts that uphold the beauty
of the natural world and the dignity and wellbeing of people.
For each of our goal areas, we are looking for visionary leaders
experienced in building global coalitions with demonstrated results. For
