Full Time, 35 hours per week 

Flexible/remote working in the UK

Help us change what’s on the menu 

At the Marine Conservation Society, we’re working for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier
ocean. One key part of that mission? Helping people and businesses choose seafood that supports
thriving seas and sustainable livelihoods. Our Good Fish Guide is at the heart of this. 

We’re looking for a Programme Manager to lead the development and delivery of our Good Fish
Guide and broader sustainable seafood programme. You’ll need to have a strong knowledge of
commercial fisheries and seafood supply chains, and the ability to build partnerships to
develop a commercial or consultancy partnership. If you’ve got a strong understanding of
seafood sustainability, experience managing science-led projects, and a passion for protecting
our ocean, we’d love to hear from you. 

What you’ll do 

• Lead our Good Fish Guide programme, including the production of sustainability ratings for
  farmed and wild seafood. 
• Support and develop a small team of Ratings Officers, ensuring work is robust, credible and
  impactful. 
• Engage with fisheries, certification bodies, and the seafood industry to improve access to
  sustainable choices. 
• Work with our Communications team to share our findings with the public, supply chains and
  press. 
• Identify and manage commercial opportunities, from Good Fish Guide for Business to bespoke
  consulting. 
• Represent the Marine Conservation Society with external partners, championing the Good Fish
  Guide as a trusted, evidence-based tool for change. 

Why join us? 

• You’ll be part of a passionate, friendly and forward-thinking team. 
• Your work will directly help people and businesses make better seafood choices that support
  a thriving ocean. 
• We’re flexible, inclusive and committed to learning and growing together. 
• We believe in evidence, action and people-powered change. 

Our values

our planet. We are looking for people who demonstrate our values, but who also contribute their
own perspectives and experiences to add to our knowledge and our culture. 

• We are brave 
• We are positive 
• We have integrity 
• We are a community 
• We are credible
