Director of Seafood Engagement for Business and Industry, WWF
Washington, DC
World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s leading conservation
organization, seeks a Director of Seafood Engagement for Business and
Industry. Under the supervision of the Manager, The Director will
develop an overarching corporate seafood engagement strategy to target
the key private sector companies most important for WWF’s priority
seafood species and work with them to create demand for sustainable
seafood (both aquaculture and wild caught). This strategy will both
build on and identify key gaps in the work that WWF-US has undertaken to
date with major buyers regarding the purchase of MSC and ASC certified
seafood with regard to WWF priority species. Special emphasis will be
given to seafood retailers and brands and subsectors not yet
incorporated into WWF’s seafood engagement strategy, including hotel
chains, pet food companies, and other strategic retailers and brands.
This includes driving integration of new seafood strategic thinking into
existing WWF partnerships, overseeing relationships with new and
existing partners, and transmitting WWF’s sustainable seafood message
with “one voice” (fisheries and aquaculture).
The Director will promote WWF’s work on sustainable seafood through
engagement with the seafood value chain. The Director will build on,
complement, and support existing strategies by working with members of
the Aquaculture and Fisheries teams, Business & Industry, the Market
Transformation Initiative and the Smart Fisheries Initiative to
encourage the private sector and its supply chains to support and
promote fisheries and aquaculture improvement projects (through formal
FIPs and AIPs) as step-wise approaches to MSC or ASC certification. The
Director will also work with the WWF-Network to develop and implement
parallel global seafood engagement strategies with the private sector
and link more sustainable seafood supplies with US markets. Finally, the
Director will support, as appropriate, the creation of capacity to
engage on seafood issues with the private sector in WWF’s priority
places and in particular in the BRIICs.
