WWF-New Zealand Looking for Communications Manager at Wellington, Wellington Region, New Zealand Full Time

Use your communications and media experience to develop and drive
strategies that reach, inspire and engage New Zealanders.

– Join one of the world’s largest and most respected conservation
organisations.
– Contribute to our work to advocate for and deliver transformational
change for people and nature.
– Enjoy collaborating within a tight-knit team and more broadly across the
conservation sector.

WWF’s global vision is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. WWF-New Zealand is part of the WWF International Network, the world’s leading, independent conservation organisation. We are active in over 100 countries and have close to 5 million supporters internationally. In Aotearoa New Zealand and throughout Oceania, we work with governments, businesses and communities so that people and nature can thrive.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Communications Manager role has been created to support the delivery of WWF-New Zealand’s strategic direction. We have ambitious targets for marine protection, climate change, and biodiversity restoration in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond – including reaching the new global target of 30% marine protection by 2030. We believe this is best achieved through the application of both western science and mātauranga, and that iwi, hapū and whānau are well placed to lead these projects as rangatira and kaitiaki.

The purpose of this role is to lead the design and delivery of all communications work related to the implementation of WWF-New Zealand’s strategy. Key functions of the role will be to translate the work of our Conservation Impact Team to support our marketing and engagement functions (i.e. to effectively tell the story of our work and its impact to supporters and others), and to lead the planning and delivery of WWF-New Zealand’s advocacy and awareness-raising efforts – including by supporting the activities of the Chief Executive Officer.

Applications close on the 30th of July 2023.
