We know we'll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work.

Please apply - we'd love to hear from you. To quote a popular saying at TNC, "you'll join for the mission, and you'll stay for the people."
Join us as we tackle the intertwined global biodiversity and climate crises by delivering durable, representative effectively managed, and inclusive protections through the Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) approach, as seen in the Mongolia PFP and a Great Bear Sea PFP. PFPs enable governments and local communities, in partnership with funders and NGOs, to secure long-term management and financing for networks of conservation areas in the form of a financial deal with a single closing agreement. The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist is responsible for the development and implementation of political and advocacy strategies for global PFP projects that secure durable conservation outcomes. The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist will work collaboratively with complex, cross-functional project teams and key external stakeholders - notably country and regional teams, Impact Finance and Markets, Development, Policy and Public Funding, Global Communications, and the Global Protect team to ensure the successful closing of PFP transactions.
The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist will co-develop and co-implement political, campaign, and advocacy strategies that influence to secure government commitment to PFP projects. In coordination with relevant teams, the Strategist is expected to undertake necessary research and analysis to develop well-informed strategic campaign plans for each PFP, examining government priorities and political dynamics, and producing cohesive and intelligent campaign plans to reach successful PFP agreements with Governments, from the scoping phase to close of the deal. The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist will take responsibility for co-designing the strategy and content with local policy, government relations, and communications staff for PFP government engagements, ensuring the project has a high degree of government commitment and ownership. They will critically assess political barriers and opportunities, ensure risks and dependencies are addressed in the project plan, and work with the project management and country teams to ensure alignment and deliver successful project results. This role will build effective relationships and establish alignment between TNC, decision-makers, and political partners.
