The International Project Manager - Agroecology will manage key international initiatives in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), focusing on partner collaboration in Benin and Ethiopia. You will oversee project delivery, build impact-monitoring data systems, and provide technical guidance on sustainable crop and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices.

PAN UK is the only charity in Britain dedicated solely to raising awareness of the problems caused by pesticides and working for better solutions. It is an independent, non-profit organisation, which works nationally and internationally to eliminate the use of hazardous pesticides and to support the adoption of sustainable alternatives. PAN UK operates as part of a global network of partner organisations. Its work reaches directly to partners and smallholder farmers in Ethiopia, Benin and elsewhere as well as national policy makers and global actors, such as UNEP and UNFAO.

Our work includes generating evidence by working with farmers and researchers on both the impacts of pesticides and on the viability of safer and more sustainable alternatives. We use this evidence to advocate for wider change in policy and practice.

The successful candidate will join PAN UK's International Team at an important time. With our partners, we have recently secured a five-year grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for a UNEP-led project to support the mainstreaming of organic cotton in Benin. PAN UK’s role will be to develop data reporting systems that measure impact and support the needs of donors, supply chain actors and national authorities.

The International Project Manager (Agroecology) will also support our projects with our partner, PAN Ethiopia, to support smallholder cotton and vegetable growers. This work enables us to co-create innovative tools and approaches that can be disseminated more widely.

Global actors, governments, consumers and rural communities are increasingly recognising the negative impacts of pesticide-dependent, industrial agriculture on human health, climate and biodiversity. PAN UK aims to secure increasing support for agroecological approaches that help rural communities to secure sustainable and resilient livelihoods and protect the environmental resources on which they depend.

PAN UK actively encourages applications from diverse backgrounds. We view diversity in its broadest form, which includes, but is not limited to, the consideration of race, nationality, gender, age, class, disability, sexuality, language and educational background. We particularly encourage applications from eligible candidates from minority ethnic groups which remain under-represented in the charity sector.

The closing date for applications is 20th September 2026. Interviews will be held on Wednesday the 30th September or Thursday 1st October 2026 at our offices in Brighton. If a second interview is needed, this will take place on Friday the 2nd of October.

We are looking for an experienced and organised Finance Officer to join our team and take responsibility for the day-to-day financial management of our charity.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with numbers but also understands that good charity finance is about much more than processing transactions. You will help us understand our financial position, make informed decisions about our resources and ensure that our funding is managed responsibly.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of our finances, including bookkeeping, payments and receipts, reconciliations, payroll liaison, budgeting, grant monitoring and producing regular management information. You will also support the preparation of year-end information and work with our external auditor as required.

We are a placed based health and wellbeing charity working to improve the lives of people in our communities. We are committed to making a meaningful difference and ensuring that our resources are used effectively and responsibly.

This is an opportunity to join an organisation where your work will have a direct impact. Good financial management enables us to deliver our work, meet our commitments to funders and make sustainable decisions about our future.

If you are looking for a role where you can use your financial skills in a supportive, purposeful organisation — and where your contribution will genuinely matter — we would love to hear from you.
