Director of Communications NatureFinance (NF)
Role overview
We are looking for an experienced Strategic Communications leader and team manager to play a central role in shaping NatureFinance’s narratives and leveraging both direct and broadband engagement to deliver on our mission. The role will focus on designing and executing communications approaches at the organizational and workstream level, working with area leads on strategies and tactics to help define and influence external audiences and position NatureFinance as an innovative thought-leader and impact driver at the nexus of nature, finance and development.
The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker and inspiring leader who is a resourceful, creative, and innovative content creator. They should have direct experience working at the intersection of finance/business and sustainability, with a knack for spotting connections between NF’s work and emerging developments in a rapidly evolving economic and geo-political landscape. They should excel at building strong relationships with busy workstream leads and developing creative methods to stay abreast of their work and forthcoming “products” and cultivate complementary comms efforts alongside them.

This position reports directly to the CEO, sits on the Senior Leadership Team and is expected to contribute to the substantive direction of NF and locate communications along the entire value chain of our work.
