We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities
Blue Ventures is a marine conservation organisation that puts people first. We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity. Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal communities and is growing globally.
Across a dozen countries, we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community organisations to design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and conservation at the community level. We bring partners together in networks to advocate for reform and share tools and best practices to support fishing communities across the globe.
We are currently recruiting an Advocacy Officer to support our global advocacy work. The
position will provide a broad range of support to the advocacy team, with a focus on ensuring
the efficient delivery of the Transform Bottom Trawling Coalition’s dedicated grant mechanism.
The grants programme supports campaigns around the world working to address the
destructive impact of industrial bottom trawling, with a focus on small-scale fisher-led
organisations in low- and middle-income countries. This is an exciting opportunity to work at
the intersection of marine conservation, human rights, and policy advocacy, contributing to
inclusive and impactful campaigns that promote the rights and recognition of small-scale
fishing communities.
Reporting to the Campaigns Manager, this is a full-time role with occasional travel to work
closely with colleagues and partners. The successful candidate will be a motivated, proactive
and highly organised individual with a track record of project management, as well as
exceptional written communication. Assessment of applications will include candidates’
alignment with BV’s core values and mission to support human rights-based approaches to
marine conservation and fisheries management. You will thrive in environments that are
collegiate and ambitious, and be able to demonstrate experience of working independently
and solving complex problems in challenging situations.
