Global Canopy is a data-driven think tank that targets the market forces destroying nature. We do this by improving transparency and accountability. We provide innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments and campaigning organisations worldwide. 

Trase is jointly led by SEI and Global Canopy with many additional partners and close collaborators. The Trase team is made up of over 30 individuals, located in nine countries, brought together by enthusiasm, curiosity and drive. Trase is a pioneering sustainability data and intelligence platform that reveals the connections between consumers, producers and investors, as well as the environmental and social impacts linked to global supply chains. The Trase approach draws on vast sets of production, trade, customs and financial data, for the first time laying bare the flows of globally-traded commodities – such as palm oil, soya, and beef at scale, as well as the flows of capital used to finance this trade.

This role is central to the delivery of Trase’s strategy for the next 5 years. Working as part of the Impact team within Trase, alongside colleagues responsible for content production and those engaging directly with Financial Institutions and Governments, you will take responsibility for coordinating all aspects of Public Relations - press, media, events, promotion and publicity. Our work, to raise our profile and reach our target audiences through multipliers and amplifiers, is aligned with and informed by our engagement strategy. Our communications work is purposeful, targeted and and evaluated for its contribution to our strategic aims - rather than Opportunity To See numbers or the number of pieces placed.

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

• Writing - able to create compelling and concise written pieces both from scratch and from detailed technical information, with accuracy and creativity. 

• Planning - able to create communications plans for the release of new data sets, to share new insights, or in response to external events, which deliver on the priorities and strategic approach of the project

• Engage and influence - able to develop and maintain relationships with key individuals and organisations including journalists and partner organisations

• Decision making - able to make sound tactical decisions on the right public relations approach to ensure our external communications work remains tightly aligned with our strategy for engagement and impact

• Innovative  - able to bring new ideas and approaches to the table, think creatively and challenge assumptions

We are committed to reducing systemic barriers in our recruitment processes.

Global Canopy works on issues of tropical deforestation. We are particularly interested in strengthening our team to include those with a background from forest regions such as Latin America and South East Asia.

We are a communications consultancy that helps public policy experts shape conversations that strengthen democracy.

We want to see robust democracies, with people better engaged with the decisions and policies that affect them. Which is why we use data, strategy and design to build powerful campaigns that give big ideas the impact they deserve.

We work with NGOs, think tanks, and university research centres to better connect policy expertise to the audiences that matter – to craft policy ideas into human-shaped stories, and breathe life into them.

We work across all sectors, but we’ve developed specific expertise on: the environment, national security, international development, and food policy. 

What we have been working on…

• Promoting a sustainable ocean economy. The Ocean Panel, made up of 14 heads of state from around the world, have put forward an approach to manage the ocean sustainably.
  
  We have been supporting the Panel with strategy, messaging and campaigning, to help them shape the ocean agenda.

• Improving school food in the United Kingdom. School Food Matters, the grassroots movement to improve the quality of food in British schools, has engaged us on a three year multifaceted campaign.
  
  We will be engaging everyone from policymakers to headteachers to school cooks, encouraging each of them to see the value in better quality school food for pupils.

The job

We’re on the hunt for a digital marketing-focused consultant. 

You’ll be someone who can quickly build relationships (clients and colleagues), has a keen eye for detail, and is able to anticipate issues before they become problems. You’ll have a sense of urgency about you, and not be afraid to muck in to the most mundane of jobs (you can expect us to be right there with you).

Reporting to one of our managers, your role will be varied, but focus predominantly on digital marketing in some way or another.

One day you’ll devising a strategy to increase newsletter subscribers. The next you’ll be creating a suite of social media content (both copy and graphics). The day after you’ll be implementing conversion tracking.

Working at Cast From Clay is about more than just client work. You’ll be someone with ideas. Someone who thinks outside the box.

At a philosophical level, you’ll be hungry to change the way policy experts perceive their role in a democratic society. We couldn’t care less what your political views are, as long as you have some.

You won’t be someone that is content with the status quo. Indeed, you may have debated whether policy organisations themselves are part of the problem.

We have been described as the “think tank for think tanks” by the communications lead of a top US think tank. Spending time thinking will be something you enjoy doing, but knowing how to turn that thinking into communications that will have an impact is crucial.

Things to note

We have returned to working from our offices in Kennington two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). You are welcome to use the office more frequently than that should you wish.

Our core philosophy

• Tom Hashemi, The Business of Ideas is in Trouble: re-injecting facts into a post-truth world, War on the Rocks
• Aidan Muller, A new model for think-tank communications (Part 1 and Part 2), Cast From Clay

Box ticking

We are looking for someone that can tick the following boxes.

• A belief that the status quo isn’t good enough
• At least two years’ communications/ marketing experience, ideally three
• A digital marketing background, with experience of things such as building newsletters and conversion tracking
• Content creation capabilities (inc on for social media) and

Do you want to use your administration and business skills to work in a fulfilling role where you can help us support vulnerable communities across the globe to access the healthcare they need through the delivery of medical aid?  We are looking for someone organised and numerate who enjoys supporting others and is comfortable with multi-tasking across a broad range of tasks.  You will need to be motivated by your Christian faith and want to be part of helping us run an efficient and effective charity.

International Health Partners (IHP) supports people in hard-to-reach, vulnerable and disaster-hit communities to get the medicines they need, by coordinating the safe and responsible donation of long-dated medical products. We work with our strong network of global healthcare, logistics and NGO partners, to source and send treatments to where they are needed most, to help prevent the needless suffering caused by a lack of access to healthcare.  Our work is needed now more than ever. The global outbreak of COVID-19 has further highlighted the urgent need for improving access to medicines and for strengthening health systems.

The Business Operations Administrator is a new role, due to expanding activity, and will provide a range of support across finance, HR, governance, business performance, and office management.   Typical tasks might include updating financial records and data, maintaining HR records and resources, coordinating staff events, ensuring office systems and equipment are working well, and facilitating team meetings. The Business Operations Administrator will help with business reports and indicators, as well as supporting organisation wide projects. You will be joining our 19 strong staff team and be largely based in our London office.

We are looking for someone who really enjoys administration, is self-motivated, efficient, has an excellent eye for detail, and wants to learn and contribute to a great team. We can offer you a rewarding and varied role. In the last two years, IHP has sent over ten million treatments to vulnerable communities around the world including places such as Yemen, South Sudan and Haiti.
