About Us

Earthwatch Europe works to create a world where we live in balance with nature.

We help people to protect the nature around them. We build meaningful nature connections and give people the tools they need to fight for our planet.

Working alongside communities and organisations, we build an understanding and a love of nature and help everyone to protect the natural world. Guided by science and powered by people, we create change through connection.

People are the heart of everything we do. From the classroom to the boardroom and the field to the laboratory, we bring everyone together with the shared goal to protect our planet. We work where we can have the most impact, creating knowledge and inspiring action. We fight for our fragile planet with passion and with science – with our hearts and our minds.

About the Role

Our Board of Trustees provides strategic leadership and strong governance, helping to shape Earthwatch’s direction and impact. Trustees act as ambassadors for our mission, bringing diverse perspectives and expertise to guide our work. 

The Board meets four times a year, usually for full-day meetings on a Friday, held either in person or online via Microsoft Teams. Meetings usually take place in London or Oxford. Two standing committees — Finance (meets quarterly) and Nominations (meets twice a year) — provide additional oversight. We also form ad-hoc working groups as needed, typically involving staff and trustees, to support strategic priorities or to manage the organisation through a challenging process.

Earthwatch Europe has a board of 12 trustees. Trustees come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have a wide range of skills and experience, including governance, science, communications and finance. The Chair of the board is supported by two Vice Chairs and an Honorary Treasurer.

Role Purpose

To lead trustee-level oversight of Earthwatch Europe’s financial governance, ensuring robust controls, clear reporting, sound risk management and strong financial decision making that supports long-term sustainability and impact. 

Key Responsibilities

• Provide strategic oversight of budgets, management accounts, cashflow, reserves and forecasting.

• Ensure strong controls, compliance and risk management (including audit where applicable).

• Chair or help shape the Finance Committee.

• Support the Board to understand financial trade-offs and sustainability choices.

• Help shape the financial foundations for income growth (e.g., investment cases, risk/return thinking, sustainability modelling).
