Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established international conservation organization. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science, and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries.
The Director Sustainable Agriculture & Enterprise is a new role within FFI, leading a team of five full-time specialists to influence and deliver this area of work across FFI’s global conservation program, collaborating closely with the other cross-cutting teams and with our four regional programs to deliver conservation projects in more than forty countries.
You are a highly motivated, skilled, and experienced individual ready to lead FFI’s efforts to build nature-positive agriculture and enterprise opportunities in our global conservation program. You have extensive experience in designing and managing nature-positive and collaborative businesses, strengthening sustainable agriculture in conservation programs, motivating teams to deliver impact on biodiversity objectives and influencing senior policy and corporate decision-makers, and delivering triple bottom line impact in developing countries.
You have excellent communication, collaboration, analytical, and team management skills, enabling your team to build positive, productive working relationships with colleagues across our global conservation program. You are comfortable working in an international NGO and managing in a matrix-like structure. Your network of agri-business, finance sector, and investor contacts will help connect the potential conservation and livelihood impacts of the team’s work with the investment partners and financial sustainability required at the landscape level. Fluency in spoken and written English is essential and proficiency in a second language relevant to FFI would be an advantage.
In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within an international, impactful, and ground-breaking organization, at the forefront of global conservation. In addition, FFI offers a generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance, and life insurance.
