Campaigner
Do you want to make a difference protecting and restoring the abundance of the oceans? Do you have experience leading public campaigns and navigating the legal and policy landscape that shapes marine conservation? Join a dedicated team of professionals working to secure science-based policies that protect the Philippines’ oceans, support coastal communities, and ensure sustainable fisheries for future generations.
Oceana is the largest international organization focused solely on ocean conservation. Founded in 2001, Oceana runs strategic, measurable campaigns around the world to restore ocean abundance. Our work is grounded in science and focused on achieving concrete policy victories within set timeframes.
The Campaigner for Oceana Philippines will lead and implement multi-year campaigns designed to advance ocean conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources. Working closely with the Campaign, Legal & Policy Senior Director and cross-functional teams, the Campaigner will ensure that campaign strategies are effectively executed and that key policy goals are achieved.
Responsibilities include developing and implementing campaign plans and budgets; monitoring and evaluating campaign progress; leading regular team meetings and coordinating across departments; engaging policymakers, government agencies, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders; representing Oceana in forums, consultations, and media engagements; conducting field visits and stakeholder meetings; and providing legal and policy research and analysis to support campaign objectives. The Campaigner will also assist with drafting legal memoranda, briefs, and position papers; support potential litigation efforts where necessary; and maintain thorough documentation and reporting of campaign activities and accomplishments.
The ideal candidate will have a Juris Doctor degree (preferred but not required) and at least three years of experience leading or managing public campaigns and policy work, particularly in environmental or conservation policy. Candidates should have demonstrated experience engaging government agencies and working in coalitions; strong knowledge of the legal and policy framework governing ocean conservation and fisheries management; excellent written and oral communication skills in English (proficiency in a Philippine language is a plus); and the ability to synthesize complex information quickly. The successful candidate will be action-oriented, collaborative, adaptable, and able to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines. Willingness to travel, sometimes under challenging conditions, and flexibility to work across time zones are required.
Oceana values a diverse workforce and welcomes people different from each other in many ways, including characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and national origin. Oceana considers all qualified candidates and seeks to recruit from a diverse candidate pool. Oceana’s offices operate on a hybrid schedule and staff are required to work from their assigned office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. With agreement between the employee and their supervisor, the employee may work from home Monday and Friday.
