  • Host workshops in schools - Travel to schools and carry out workshops either alone or with an intern.

  • Collaborate with other local charities.

Background and requirements:
A Partner/Operations Manager requires a background in areas such as marine biology, zoology, conservation, oceanography, environmental science, social science, education or a related study.  Candidates require previous experience with a conservation group or a degree/undergoing a degree in this particular field and have previous experience with children. Applicants must be flexible to work weekdays or weekends, depending on the dates of future workshops. Ideal candidates for the Operations Manager position are passionate about the ocean, detail-oriented, very well organised, thrive on variety, take initiative, have public speaking skills, project management skills, interviewing/hiring experience and leadership skills. Fluent English is required (C1 at least) as this position requires public speaking and excellent writing skills.
