WWF is a global leader in the development of tools and approaches for more sustainable use of water resources. As Senior Water Policy Advisor you will be part of an innovative team which supports river conservation programmes across the world and which works with governments and companies to improve water policy. Your role will be to help multinational businesses to understand global water risks, to encourage them to address the environmental impacts of their water footprints and to develop the case for them to support stronger public policy for water management. You will be based in the UK but your remit, and the people with whom you will work, will be international.

You will be deeply committed to WWF’s mission. You’ll be able to demonstrate that you are a strategic thinker and that you can deliver against very challenging objectives. You’ll bring a track record of influencing decision-makers and forming alliances with a broad range of stakeholders. You’ll be an expert on water issues; ideally you’ll be familiar with the private sector’s approach to sourcing and managing natural resources too. Your communications and project management skills will be exceptional.
