Are you a great collaborator? Can you lead an experienced team? We’re looking for a Program Director, UK and Ireland, who can lead on delivering the MSC’s over-arching aims and objectives in the Region. You’ll be responsible for outreach to the fishery, supply chain and market sector, promoting the MSC brand and increasing support for the program across a broad range of interest groups, including fisheries, government representatives, retailers and partners in the NGO community. 

You’ll also be accountable for the MSC’s communications activities in the region and for the delivery of the national communications strategy to build consumer awareness of the MSC.

Who are you?

  • be knowledgeable about fisheries, resource sustainability issues and ecolabelling;
  • have significant experience of motivating and managing staff, and be able to foster a positive can-do mind set among your team.

Who are we?

The MSC’s vision is for the world’s oceans to be teeming with life, and seafood supplies safeguarded for this and future generations. Through our world-leading certification and ecolabeling programme we recognise and reward sustainable fisheries and through the leadership of our partners, create market incentives to encourage other fisheries to improve the way they operate. Over 300 fisheries around the world, representing 12 % of the annual global marine catch, are now engaged in the MSC programme. MSC certified and labelled seafood products are now available in over 100 countries.

The role is based in our conveniently located office in central London (EC1A 2DH), with occasional international travel to visit colleagues.
