About the role

Ocean Conservancy is seeking a Chief Conservation Officer to guide its conservation portfolio from Washington, D.C. The role oversees policy, science and field initiatives and is based in a hybrid work environment. The CCO will drive strategic vision, coordinate with executive leadership, and ensure ambitious conservation outcomes across geographies while engaging funders, policymakers and partners.

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.
