We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work. Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts. The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities. About you Are you a visionary leader in green finance, driven to shape nature markets that deliver natures recovery in the UK? Were looking for a senior leader in green finance and nature markets to drive the strategic development and delivery of all aspects of green finance across The Wildlife Trusts federation, ensuring our approach is ambitious, coherent, and aligned with our 2030 strategy - Bringing Nature Back. Drawing on your strong business acumen, you will build a robust pipeline of commercial nature products to meet growing buyer demand, such as habitat banks for Englands Biodiversity Net Gain market, or nature-based carbon projects for the voluntary carbon market. An innovative problem-solver with an entrepreneurial spirit, you will help embed the systems, processes, and resources needed to strengthen our green finance capability, manage commercial risks, and improve efficiency across the federation. It is essential that you have strong relationship-building and line management experience to grow our national Green Finance team, and establish new and long-lasting relationships with colleagues across the federation, external partners and stakeholders. A core part of the role is to grow The Wildlife Trusts national function as a trusted broker for high integrity nature market products delivered by local Trusts. Using your strategic commercial skills, you will also lead the development of new opportunities for large scale investment, designing the mechanisms through which investment can be deployed and ensuring these approaches work for both national and local priorities. You will champion innovation in green finance, supporting pioneering work in nationally significant landscapes, such as the Rothbury Estate, while helping position The Wildlife Trusts at the forefront of nature market development. Acting as a national thought leader, you will represent the organisation across the conservation, government, finance, and business sectors - advocating for the role of green finance in delivering transformational impact for nature.
