Our ocean needs help, now more than ever. At the Marine Conservation Society, we are determined to make everything we do count in that fight. We must maximise our conservation impact through the measurement and evaluation of the work we do, for our projects to be as efficient as possible, and make sure we are appropriately managing the risks.
 
We’re looking for an experienced Project and Impact Manager to lead this work and help communicate the difference we are making to our supporters, our Trustees and to potential funders. This new post will coordinate the development of strategic plans across our teams, supporting them to make sure we are ambitious, have focused aims, objectives and measures that can track impact and help share learning.
 
You will support our charity’s vital conservation work across the organisation providing guidance for our new project management framework and you’ll be able to develop the process further to keep our project delivery robust but accessible and engaging to use. You’ll work with our project prioritisation process so that we have high visibility of our work and we’re making our decisions based on the most recent project information.
 
You’ll support our teams to assess and manage risks appropriately and create the communication routes so that everyone who needs to know, knows.
 
Project Management: Can showcase a robust track-record of managing multiple projects where your input has made them successful. Able to demonstrate both theoretical and applied knowledge of monitoring and evaluation techniques. Can translate strategic aims into KPIs and objectives. Have implemented an organisation-wide risk management system.
 
Delivery: Able to create rapport with a wide range of people and take the most appropriate communication style and method to support the engagement with a new project management approach. Can facilitate productive discussions that clarify ideas into deliverable project plans and write guidance notes that are accessible and informative.
 
Working with us: Takes a people-centric approach with a supportive and open working style. Will enjoy working with a team of passionate advocates for our ocean and environment and increasing their knowledge about your work.
 
We are looking for you to demonstrate our values, and we consider it a value to appreciate your unique perspectives and experiences which add to our knowledge and our culture.
 
What we need to see
 
Your CV – it would really help us if you removed your personal information prior to sending your CV to us. Keep your contact information in your email, but not on the documents that we’ll use for shortlisting.
 
A motivation statement - tell us how your experience meets the role requirements by referring closely to both the job description and the person specification. Include examples of your work or experiences which show how you will meet the job criteria and person specification and what skills you bring which would make you successful in the role.
 
Your motivation statement should also let us know what inspired you to apply for this role with us – tell us what it is about our work that attracted you to the organisation and the position.
 
We find that stronger applications have this statement – to give yourself the best opportunity for this role, please ensure you include it. No need to write pages, one side of A4 would be perfect, two would be more than enough so try to limit yourself.
 
We understand that the application process can be difficult if you have a condition or disability that you live with. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to shine during your application process, so please let us know what we can do to accommodate you.
 
Selection process
 
If you’re invited to an interview, you may be requested to prepare a task in advance or take part in a group activity as part of the assessment process – we’ll let you have all the details in the invitation to interview. We will also invite you to talk to us about any reasonable adjustments which would support you in fully taking part in the interview process.
 
The legal bit
 
If you’re successful, all offers of employment are conditional, subject to the following:
 
- We are not licensed to issue work permits so candidates are required to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK and will be required to present original documents if invited for interview. Information on what you’ll need to show will be provided as part of the invitation to attend an interview, but you can read more on the Home Office UK Border Agency website
- Receipt of two references which are satisfactory to MCS
- Your driving licence and insurance, if using a vehicle is an integral part of your role
 
Our Commitment
 
Everyone can expect to be treated with consideration and respect and MCS is committed to providing an inclusive environment for all. Good working relationships release the full potential, creativity and productivity of each individual, in an atmosphere where everyone can learn and work without prejudice, discrimination, harassment or violence.
 
We are committed to developing a team which is reflective of our society, and which can offer insight and views that influence our work. We are particularly interested in applications from groups which are under-represented in marine, environmental and charity sectors. If you would like to speak to us please call the HR team.
