The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist is responsible for the development and implementation of political and advocacy strategies for global PFP projects that secure durable conservation outcomes. The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist will work collaboratively with complex, cross-functional project teams and key external stakeholders - notably country and regional teams, Impact Finance and Markets, Development, Policy and Public Funding, Global Communications, and the Global Protect team to ensure the successful closing of PFP transactions.

The Campaign and Advocacy Strategist will take responsibility for co-designing the strategy and content with local policy, government relations, and communications staff for PFP government engagements, ensuring the project has a high degree of government commitment and ownership.
