Global Canopy is data-drive think tank that targets the market forces destroying nature. Over the last two years, fires raging in the Amazon have focused global attention on this critical issue like never before. In response, 230 investors with USD $16.2 trillion in assets under management publicly demanded corporate action on deforestation in the Amazon and beyond. This project manager role is responsible for effective coordination of resources across the projects under our Corporate Performance and ESG programme, reporting directly to the programme lead. 

This is an important and fast-growing area of work, responding to a growing need among companies, financial institutions and governments for the best possible information on how market actors are tackling their impacts on forests and nature.  Our world-leading deforestation data (see, for example, Trase Finance and Forest 500) is used by the private sector and civil society to enable action and improve accountability. This work is now being integrated with data from partners worldwide, to produce aligned common metrics that can significantly improve mainstream ESG metrics in this area and ultimately drive finance away from destructive activities. 

The project manager will support the programme lead to create project plans, manage tasks across teams, report to donors, and manage budgets. They will ensure any issues are escalated in a timely way, and that the projects can achieve their objectives on time and on budget. The project manager will also from time to time carry out research to support Global Canopy’s strategies and engagement.

Above all they will have a deep interest in environmental metrics, the determination and ambition to deliver with excellence, and the maturity and diplomatic skills to work effectively with different teams internally, and leading private, public and third sector partners worldwide.

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

• Experienced project manager delivering outcomes across a diverse team and multiple projects.

• Strong judgement and emotional intelligence in balancing and managing trade-offs, while bringing people with you.

• Relevant sector experience, a drive to contribute to our mission, and a deep understanding of environmental and ESG metrics and issues.

We, at the Rhodes Trust, bring together these exceptional individuals from all over the world to ensure the Scholarship experience is a transformative and developmental journey.

You will play a leading role in leadership programming oversight, content development, and design; facilitate Scholar-centred learning and community development; and support programme and event delivery.

• You will be responsible for the (co-)design, development and delivery of cohort-based developmental programming for Scholars in Residence (framed around the Rhodes Trust criteria of Character, Service and Leadership), and oversight of Scholar-organised learning and community initiatives.
• You will refine and enhance the arc of the Scholar in Residence leadership and learning experience by co-developing and articulating leadership programming priorities and co-construction of design and content of workshops, talks, convenings and other learning activities (underpinned by pedagogical principles).
• You will combine a range of technologies, tools and formats creatively to help stimulate peer learning, reflection, critical reasoning and collaborative problem-solving that build and embed a culture of moral engagement and mutual support in the Scholar in Residence community.
• You will line manage one full-time team member and work in close collaboration with Scholar groups to co-create the Scholar programming experience.

Ideally you will have an honours degree, significant experience of post-graduate or executive level organisational design/leadership development/curriculum design or similar, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and a range of IT skills including familiarity with technological platforms for virtual collaborations and conferencing.  A proven ability to build effective relationships with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders at all levels is essential.

This is an exciting time for Citizens Advice services in Buckinghamshire. The charities Citizens Advice Aylesbury Vale, Citizens Advice Chiltern and Citizens Advice High Wycombe District are merging to become Citizens Advice Bucks. Like the constituent organisations that will form it have done for many years, this new charity will provide independent and impartial advice on debt, benefits, housing, employment and family issues that will help people get their lives back on track, as well as using on the ground knowledge to improve local and national social policy.

While the merger was planned long before the COVID 19 crisis, this newly formed, larger organisation will be better placed to meet the increasing demand for our services. It also matches the geography of one of our primary funders, the newly formed unity authority, Buckinghamshire Council, which will allow us to build strong working relationships at county level.

Each of the constituent charities have considerable areas of strength, providing services that respond to the need in their local communities. Citizens Advice Bucks must maintain these strengths and the local focus of services, whilst also ensuring the same high quality, availability and consistency of services across the county, and developing a strong, shared internal culture across the new charity.

We believe that in these times more people than ever will need money advice – and we need someone to help us grow this service; to meet the exacting requirements of contracts that we have in this area; and to support and develop our staff and volunteers as we change to meet the demands placed on us.
