Campaign Assistant
The oceans connect us all. They cover two-thirds of our blue planet and sustain most of the life on Earth. Yet they face unprecedented threats – from overfishing and habitat destruction to plastic pollution, offshore drilling, and the killing of threatened species like turtles, whales, and sharks.
Oceana is the world’s largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. We campaign around the globe to win science-based policies that rebuild abundant, biodiverse oceans – and we’re winning. With the help of our allies, Oceana has achieved more than 325 policy victories that protect marine life, habitats, and coastal communities.
Why Join Oceana
Oceana is a fast-paced, mission-driven organization filled with passionate professionals committed to protecting the oceans and the communities who depend on them. We value collaboration, creativity, diversity, and measurable impact. Here, your work will contribute to winning campaigns and creating real, lasting change for the planet.
Position Overview
Oceana is seeking a passionate and motivated Campaign Assistant to support our European campaign team and contribute to our mission of protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. Reporting to the Head of Campaigns, this early-career role provides operational, analytical, and coordination support to ensure effective planning, smooth information flow, and the timely implementation of campaign activities across Europe.
Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting desk research, preparing briefings and background materials on topics such as fisheries and marine protection, supporting the development of communications materials, assisting with stakeholder engagement activities and events, and providing general administrative and organisational support to Campaign Directors and cross-functional teams.
The ideal candidate holds a degree in environmental studies, political science, international relations, marine science, or a related field, and brings early career experience or relevant internships in campaigns, advocacy, policy, research, or communications. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a proactive, team-oriented attitude are essential. Oral and written proficiency in English is required; fluency in additional European languages such as French or Spanish is an advantage.
This position is based in Brussels, Belgium; Madrid, Spain; or Copenhagen, Denmark. Staff are required to work from their assigned office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Limited travel within Europe may be required.
Salary range for the role is €30,000- €40,0000. The actual salary offer will depend on the candidate’s exact work location, qualifications, relevant experience, and internal pay equity relative to current employees in similar roles.
Candidates should submit their resume and cover letter to be considered.
Applications will be assessed upon receipt; early submission is encouraged. Due to the high volume of applications, only successful candidates will be contacted. Please submit your application by June 29, 2026.
