Thank you for your interest in joining our team. Blue Ventures is an award-winning charity working to rebuild coastal fisheries. We are committed to making conservation work for people, demonstrating powerful win-wins for marine biodiversity and coastal livelihoods.
We have a bold ambition: we’re working to create a world where small-scale fishers have bigger catches, better livelihoods and improved food security and where healthy oceans teem with life for generations to come.
We are a diverse family of conservation and development professionals. Across 14 countries, our 300+ staff put fishers first. We fight for their rights. We support them to fulfil their potential. We supply them with everything they need to manage and protect our oceans in ways that benefit people and nature alike. Our decentralised structure keeps us close to the coastal communities we serve and ensures the work we do is effective and sustainable.
Blue Ventures is going through a period of rapid and sustained growth and is uniquely positioned to drive impact at scale in the marine conservation sector. After more than two decades at the helm, our founding Executive Director, Alasdair Harris, is stepping back, and we are now seeking a Chief Executive Officer who will help us achieve our potential. We are truly committed to ensuring greater diversity and gender equality within our organisation and board and encourage applications from across the globe for this role and all others.
We would love to hear from you if you’re passionate about working with coastal communities to restore ocean life and share our values and ambitions. You will find more information about the role in the rest of this pack and on our website, along with further information about our work and our plans for the future.
We look forward to hearing from you.
