Overview

Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established
international conservation organisation. 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.

FFI is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Programme Officer, Agricultural
Landscapes, to support the delivery of agriculture, including agroforestry, within FFI’s
conservation projects around the world.

You will provide technical agricultural and agroforestry input and support to FFI’s portfolio of
conservation projects around the world, working closely with our regional teams and partner
organisations. You will also contribute to the design, development and delivery of agricultural
activities in high-priority countries. You will support data design, collection and analysis and
the communication of these results to donors, stakeholders and the public through written
work. You will provide administrative support to the Agricultural Landscapes programme,
and work with the Technical Specialist, Agricultural Landscapes, to report to donors and to
fundraise. You will have a degree or equivalent qualification in agriculture, agricultural
development, biology or ecology with relevant technical expertise, including field-based
agricultural development, and proven ability in project management and administration,
including financial aspects.

You will be able to collaborate effectively with government agencies, non-governmental
organisations and a variety of other partners and stakeholders, and have excellent
interpersonal and communication skills. You will be highly organised and self-reliant, yet a
good team player, responsive to the needs of colleagues and partners. Excellent writing
skills are essential, including experience of writing funding proposals and donor reports.
International travel will be required. Fluency in written and spoken English is essential, and
fluency in French, as well as agroforestry and pollination experience, is highly desirable.

In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within a ground-breaking and entrepreneurial
organisation, at the forefront of global conservation, with opportunity to apply your skills and
expertise where appropriate. In addition, FFI offers a generous pension contribution,
attractive annual leave allowance and life insurance.
