Brussels, Belgique The International Fund for Animal Welfare Temps plein

**This is a Fixed Term Contract position through 04 January 2025**
**Staff work a hybrid schedule with 2 days/week in the office**
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, and energetic individual to support our advocacy work in Brussels, with a particular focus on our wider European shipping campaign.
Ship speed reduction is a viable and achievable operational practice that can be undertaken by the commercial shipping industry to mitigate three key environmental pressures: underwater noise, ship strikes, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing these threats from shipping would benefit marine life and the marine environment.
With an initial focus on European waters, our shipping campaign brings together years of effort by IFAW encouraging governments, the commercial shipping sector and ports to work together to achieve effective and sustainable changes to significantly reduce ocean noise and ship strike risk to cetaceans. This campaign involves a significant public awareness and engagement strategy, targeting key stakeholders to encourage, support, and drive EU regulatory change to reduce these threats. European waters provide the initial focus for this campaign as they host some of the busiest shipping routes globally and a significant number of major, international ports. Furthermore, European waters are home to cetacean populations at high risk of ship strike and ocean noise impacts. EU institutions will be key to drive the adoption of EU ‘whale friendly’ practices.
In addition to shipping-related issues, IFAW also focuses on addressing the threat of bycatch to protected marine wildlife in European waters and political work on other marine conservation issues.
**Role and Responsibilities**
- Develop a thorough knowledge of IFAW’s priorities within the European shipping, bycatch and other marine conservation campaigns and present these to EU institutions;
- Through direct advocacy work, build relationships with existing and new contacts to initiate and cultivate IFAW relationships with MEPs and Member States’ Permanent Representations in Brussels;
- Under the supervision of the IFAW Head of EU Policy and Campaigns, lead and regularly work in coalitions with advocacy staff at partner organisations to strategise on EU policy, craft messaging, determine legislative targets, and provide strategic insight to the IFAW team;
- Monitor and identify EU legislative and policy opportunities;
- Work closely with IFAW’s European shipping team to plan advocacy strategies to support campaign progress;
- Contribute to, plan, organise, and deliver key stakeholder engagement events, in collaboration with IFAW colleagues;
- Embody the values, mission, and vision of IFAW;
- Contribute to other IFAW campaigns and work streams as required.

**Qualifications and Education Requirements**
- BSc/BA degree in a relevant field preferred
- 2-4 years of advocacy experience with EU institutions; experience in the marine conservation sector is desirable
- A thorough understanding of lobbying and EC/European Parliament/Council legislative procedures
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, must be comfortable with public speaking and must be able communicate with a political audience from various EU countries
- Demonstrated strategic thinker, with problem-solving acumen
- Experience organising meetings/workshops with a range of audiences
- Full working experience in English required, with an additional EU language as a plus.

Pay: €44,000.00 - €54,000.00 per year

Schedule:

- Day shift
- Monday to Friday
