Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit that targets the market forces destroying nature.
We do this by improving transparency and accountability. We provide innovative open-access
data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions,
governments and campaigning organisations worldwide. 

The role: overview 

A growing number of companies and financial institutions are seeking to mitigate their impacts
on nature. Many have made commitments but often they are not being met. Others are failing to
take any action at all.

project, assesses the policies and performance of the world’s most influential companies and
financial institutions regarding deforestation.

To be successful in this role, these are the things that will matter the
most: 

• Excellent writing skills – adept at translating technical information into engaging and
  accurate content that resonates with the target audience 
• Excellent time management and planning skills
• Analytical, with strong attention to detail and an innate ability to ‘join the dots’

Essential behavioural competencies: 

• Positive, proactive and able to take initiative
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, eager to learn and adaptable to change

At Global Canopy, we value diversity and inclusion. You can read our diversity statement on our
website. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and are committed to having a team with
a diverse set of skills, experiences and abilities. We are committed to reducing systemic
barriers in our recruitment processes. 

Global Canopy works on issues of tropical deforestation. We are particularly interested in
strengthening our team to include those with a background from forest regions such as Latin
America and South East Asia. We welcome applications from people from these regions.
