The Vacancy
Is your background in sustainable fisheries management and marine protection?
Do you want to work at the interface of science and management to help protect the oceans and safeguard seafood supplies?
If so, this could be the opportunity for you to help develop and implement a standard for well-managed, sustainable fisheries, with a particular focus on tuna fisheries.
The MSC is currently recruiting a Fisheries Standard Manager.
You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the running of the MSC’s Fisheries Standard and oversee the certification of fisheries by third-party auditors.
You would join a close-knit team who develop the Fisheries Standard and are responsible for more than 400 fisheries in the MSC Program, ensuring that our requirements are applied correctly and consistently.
This post has a particular focus on the MSC’s tuna strategy and technical work related to Principle 1 of the Fisheries Standard. As such, the ideal candidate will have professional experience of fisheries management, assessment or monitoring, as well as a good knowledge of current issues in tuna fisheries.
Some of the key tasks that you will be involved in are:
- oversight of a portfolio of fisheries that are undergoing assessment or annual review by third-party auditors
- technical review of assessment reports, ensuring that MSC’s requirements and processes are being applied correctly
- development of the MSC Fisheries Standard and related certification processes, keeping pace with global best practice
- supporting colleagues and stakeholders in understanding and communicating the MSC’s requirements to a range of audiences
- training auditors in the correct application of the MSC’s requirements and assessment processes.
- To be successful in this role you will have professional experience in fisheries science or management. This includes a good working knowledge of the development or implementation of harvest strategies, harvest control rules, stock assessment, or fisheries monitoring.
- We are looking for a highly motivated individual with the ability to balance a varied workload. You will also have:
- Fluent language skills in Spanish and English; Portuguese would be an advantage
- A strong teamwork ethic and excellent project planning, organisation, and time management skills
- Experience working with stakeholders and other external parties to develop policy
- A track record of successfully managing relationships with stakeholders, collaborators, and colleagues.
A full list of required qualifications and skills is included in the job description.
Please note this role is based on MSC’s office in Madrid, Spain.
Working at the MSC
The MSC’s vision is for the world’s oceans to be teeming with life, and seafood supplies safeguarded for this and future generations. Today, the impacts of overfishing and climate change pose an even greater threat to the ocean and fish stocks. Through our internationally recognised certification and ecolabeling program, well-managed sustainable fisheries are recognised and rewarded throughout the seafood supply chain. Over 700 fisheries around the world, representing 19% of the annual global marine catch, are now engaged in the MSC program and MSC certified and labelled seafood products are now available in over 66 countries. Through partnerships and collective endeavour, we are on a mission to end overfishing.
