The Vacancy
Success in this role requires exceptional leadership and management qualities, a collaborative mindset, an international perspective and the confidence to engage with stakeholders at all levels, including Board members, colleagues and professional advisers. You should be committed to contributing actively to MSC's global sustainability and environmental goals while demonstrating sound judgement, creativity and strong influencing, negotiating and problem-solving skills. Given the small size of the MSC's finance team, a hands-on approach to operational tasks is essential to ensure success.
You will demonstrate a people-centred approach and a track record of effective relationship building across an organisation of geographically and culturally diverse colleagues. Crucially, you will be able to gain credibility and respect of staff at all levels at the MSC and be able to demonstrate to others your empathy and interest in the MSC’s mission and objectives.
This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering MSC’s future direction. If you are passionate about our vision for the world’s oceans and seeking to make a meaningful impact, we invite you to join us in advancing the MSC's mission and strategic goals.

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.
