About the Role: The Company is seeking two Trustees to contribute to its governance and strategic direction, with expertise in either climate adaptation and resilience or marketing, public relations, and communications. Trustees will help guide long-term strategy, support effective governance and legal compliance, safeguard the organization’s reputation and financial sustainability, and provide advice and constructive challenge to the executive team. They will also contribute professional insight to Board discussions and initiatives and help build relationships with supporters, funders, and partners. The climate-focused Trustee will advise on climate risks, resilience, and sustainable development, while the communications-focused Trustee will help strengthen the organization’s visibility, advocacy, and engagement with key audiences. Candidates should bring relevant expertise in climate adaptation, resilience, environmental sustainability, communications, public relations, marketing, or brand strategy. Climate candidates should be able to translate complex issues into practical strategic advice and understand the needs of climate-vulnerable communities; experience in international development, humanitarian, community, or public service settings is valuable. Communications candidates should have senior-level experience and understand how communications can support organizational growth, fundraising, and influence, including engagement with external audiences. All candidates should demonstrate sound judgment, collaborative governance skills, and a commitment to the organization’s mission; lived experience of the countries it serves is also welcomed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
