Overview

Blue Ventures is an award-winning marine conservation organisation working to rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities.   We’re committed to protecting marine biodiversity in ways that benefit coastal people.  We work in places where the ocean is vital to local cultures and economies, and where there is a fundamental unmet need to support human development.

As a social enterprise, we organise marine conservation expeditions in which volunteers from around the world join us to support our projects in Madagascar and Belize, working closely with our field research teams and in partnership with local communities.  Our expeditions combine conservation research, education and adventure travel to give volunteers high quality and productive conservation tourism experiences that benefit host communities and support pioneering conservation programmes.

In 2015 we are launching a new country programme in Timor-Leste, to support marine conservation, research and education in this global marine biodiversity hotspot.  This position presents an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated project manager looking to play an instrumental role in launching and developing an ambitious new conservation initiative, expanding the reach and impact of Blue Ventures’ work.

Applicants should submit a completed application form, recent CV (including full telephone and e-mail contact details of three professional referees), and cover letter relating to this position vacancy to jobs@blueventures.org. Please include the reference “TimorCC” in the subject line.

The closing date for applications is 14th June (midnight GMT).
