Want to Save the Oceans? Become the Director of Programme Performance at Blue Ventures!
So, you fancy yourself a marine conservation champion? You’ve got experience with fish—which isn’t just a euphemism for your last relationship—and you’re keen to make waves in the environmental realm? Well, have I got the job for you! Blue Ventures, a fish-tastic organization focused on rebuilding tropical fisheries, is on the hunt for a Director of Programme Performance. That’s right, folks, they want someone to take the data-satellite approach to marine conservation. And let’s be clear; this isn’t just any post; this is a global gig based out of Bristol, London, or even as far as Madagascar (for those who prefer their office views to come with a side of beach).
What’s in it for you?
Salary? Oh, they’ve got that covered too! Depending on where you choose to hang your straw hat, you could earn £68,405 – £79,205 in the UK, or, if you fancy a little adventure in Indonesia, you might pocket around IDR 819,656,485 – IDR 1,213,091,597 (that’s one hefty noodle dish at your favorite local!). And even that’s just the beginning—talk about market rates!
Let’s Talk Fish, Shall We?
So, who is this Blue Ventures bunch? Well, they’re not your typical underwater punks. They’re a marine conservation organization that puts the well-being of coastal communities on the same pedestal as the fish swimming around them. They believe in the whole “people first” mantra and have spent two decades working with local fishers. They are rebuilding fisheries like extra confident carpenters at a DIY workshop. Their motto? Rebuild, restore, and reclaim the oceans!
Your Role: The Fishy Fund Manager!
As the Director of Programme Performance, you’ll lead a team focused on designing, implementing, and managing Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems. In simpler terms, you’re going to be the grand poobah of performance indicators and data pipelines. This means you’ll get to play both detective and artist; creating and refining performance indicators while making sure they resonate well with the communities and meet donors’ expectations—because who doesn’t like a good ol’ tick-box exercise?
You will not only lead the data dance but also check the community feedback pulse—a bit like being a fish whisperer, but with spreadsheets. You’ll report directly to the Chief Technical Officer (which sounds fancy), ensuring the programmatic data informs adaptive management. So not only will your role wash up a solid net gain in fisheries, but it’ll also provide a framework for those data-driven decisions we love so much.
The Ideal Candidate—You?
They’re looking for someone seasoned in marine conservation and socioeconomics—so if you can throw in a few anecdotes about salvaging maritime chaos, even better! You should have experience working with small-scale fishing communities in various geographical contexts. A sense of humor could also be quite handy. After all, merging community interests with fish statistics can be a slippery slope. If there’s a pun about “catch” and “release” in your cover letter, you might just be in!
How to Cast Your Application Net
Think you’ve got what it takes to reel in this position? Well, get ready to dive in! You have until 5 November 2024 to submit your application (don’t let that deadline swim away from you). Head over to this link to get cracking! Just remember, only complete applications will be processed—no half-hearted ocean metaphors allowed!
So gather your best fishing puns, dust off your evaluation metrics, and prepare to make a splash in the amazing world of marine conservation with Blue Ventures. Who knows, you might just end up saving the planet, one fish at a time!
