Interested in an exciting, investigative role which helps protect forests, the climate and human rights? This may be the job for you.
Earthsight is looking for a researcher/campaigner to join our Latin America team, delivering impactful research, analyses and advocacy on forest-risk-commodity supply chains.
Earthsight is a London-based non-profit organisation dedicated to researching and investigating environmental and social crime and injustice. We use cutting-edge investigative methods to uncover and expose wrongdoing. Since emerging as a fully-fledged organisation in 2016, our reports have garnered headlines, won awards and triggered major changes by governments and corporations.
We seek to create positive change by influencing government policy, exposing greenwashing and raising awareness among key constituencies about the impacts of global supply chains on the world’s forests and forest communities.
Most global deforestation is driven by industrial production of a handful of major commodities, including beef, soy, palm oil and wood. A large proportion of this production is to meet demand in major international markets. Earthsight plays a key role in highlighting the complicity of corporations in the EU, UK and US in the destruction of ecosystems and human rights violations overseas. As part of global coalitions, we have succeeded in getting laws developed or passed in all these jurisdictions which aim to eliminate environmental or human rights abuses from these supply chains.
As part of a small team, you will monitor developments in Latin America and with the most important commodities driving deforestation and forest degradation there, including beef, leather, soy, cotton, wood. You will help deliver in-depth investigations which expose large companies for sourcing products linked to horrific abuses, and trigger government action in response.
The position is offered as a full-time permanent contract. The successful candidate would preferably be based in the UK and able to come into our office in London on a regular basis. Earthsight is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to ensuring careers in the charity sector are open to all. We value difference and believe it enhances our capabilities. We therefore particularly encourage applications from people from a range of different backgrounds.
Main tasks and responsibilities
- Monitor relevant media, NGO, think-tank, government and academic reports on EU, UK and US beef, leather, soy, cotton and wood supply chains linked to biomes in Latin America, particularly Brazil and Paraguay

- Provide regular summaries from this monitoring to the Latin America Team Lead
- Build and maintain a strong understanding of relevant trade links between key Latin America countries and consumer countries/regions of particular interest (e.g. EU, UK, US), through analysis of third-party reports, raw trade data and shipment records
- Keep abreast of wider policy and industry developments in key Latin America countries, including case studies of deforestation or rights abuses related to the commodities of concern, general developments with forests and with government policy related to the impact of commodities on forests
- Carry out additional desk research into chosen case studies, including by exploring shipment data, company reports and websites, satellite imagery, publicly available government datasets, corporate records and trading websites, and holding remote meetings with relevant actors including researchers and activists in the countries concerned
- Assist in planning and carrying out field research on selected cases if needed. Occasional travel to moderately risky environments may be required
- Provide detailed reports of research findings for internal review
- Assist with turning research findings into published reports, analyses, policy messages and recommendations, films and other external outputs. Tasks may include fact-checking; drafting and editing written outputs; contributing to graphics, videos and other multimedia outputs; and other tasks as required
- Assist with efforts to secure media coverage for reports, analyses and op-eds, including by helping draft press releases and brief journalists on details of research
- Assist in managing social media content, particularly on LinkedIn and X, including drafting and scheduling posts
- Support Latin America Team Lead in developing and implementing advocacy activities based on research findings and the organisation’s overall strategic goals, including by participating in meetings with policymakers, civil servants, NGOs and other key stakeholders (either remotely or in person in the UK or EU)
