Ocean Advocacy Manager

The Ocean Conservation Trust is a global Ocean conservation charity that exists to restore and
protect the Ocean. Our work is centred around people and positive action through pro-Ocean
behaviour and habitat restoration. We’re committed to conserving the marine environment and
inspiring others to do the same.

Our Ocean Advocacy Manager is a new role for the organisation created to enhance OCT’s
credentials as a leader in Ocean related behaviour change and conservation, maximising
engagement opportunities through creative programmes and the development of policy and
international relationships. 

The Ocean Advocacy Manager will play a key role in supporting the OCT’s advocacy activities, as
well as delivering key strategic objectives in the 5 year strategy. In the wider community, the
post holder will need to be approachable and engaging, and happy to work on the ground,
networking. It will also be essential to build solid working relationships with the team at the
Ocean Conservation Trust to ensure the best success for our advocacy work.

You will need to be self-motivated and enthusiastic to generate long-term working relationships
with all stakeholders. You will need to be a self-starter, as much of the time you will be
