Nature Case Writer

Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit delivering real transparency and accountability
for market impacts on nature and people. Our special focus is on ending deforestation – an
essential step in achieving urgent global goals on climate, nature and human rights.

We are looking to appoint a Nature case writer within Global Canopy’s education and learning
team.

Education is critical to GC’s goal to drive uptake of nature-related risk management practices
in financial, business and policymaking communities in both emerging and developed markets; and
to help strengthen capacity among civil society to help hold powerful actors to account.

Case studies and use cases are an important part of capacity building through education and
learning, helping market participants develop an understanding of key nature concepts in the
context of real-life scenarios, and support the development of critical analysis,
problem-solving, decision-making, and implementation in relation to nature-related issues and
nature-related finance.

To be successful in this role, these are the things that will matter the most: 

• Strong writing and research skills, as well as excellent analytical, communications, and
  interviewing skills.
• An ability to navigate multi-stakeholder projects with emotional intelligence
• Communication skills that enable engagement with senior professionals across a range of sectors
  from policy to finance on potentially complex and sensitive issues
• Knowledge and experience of either nature-related finance and/or global trade and supply chains
  gained ideally either working with or within the private sector

Essential behavioural competencies:

• Motivation to work in an organisation that is purpose-led, with a deep commitment to the values
  and mission of Global Canopy
• Ability to work collaboratively and independently while establishing strong working
  relationships and taking direction from one or more project leaders
• Ability to give and receive feedback, with a willingness to reflect and integrate feedback
• A strong appreciation of the value of connected content, conceptualizing case studies as a
  piece of a the learner journey
• An eye for detail and technical accuracy
