Post background
This is an exciting opportunity to work on the Defra-led Marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (mNCEA) programme, that looks to accelerate nature recovery, growth, and delivery of nature’s benefits by transforming marine monitoring, evidence and decision making.
You will work with a range of experts, such as analysts, ecologists, mappers, and environmental economists, to successfully deliver JNCC’s mNCEA projects on time and to budget. You will manage existing and new plans, tracking progress, budgets, and risks, whilst keeping the team’s focus on benefits and outcomes, as well as milestones. You will provide regular reporting and communication (internally and to our partners and customers) and help to plan the ongoing work of the programme.
This is an opportunity for someone who has already built up project management experience to manage an ambitious and pioneering programme of work, alongside highly skilled and supportive colleagues across JNCC and our Partner organisations.
The three-year Marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (mNCEA) programme looks to lead the way in integrating natural capital approaches into decision making for the marine environment. Following on from the first two years of the programme, (alongside a successful pilot year in 2021-22) we are now working towards completion of year three of the programme and exploring opportunities to continue the work and embed the approach into JNCC’s wider portfolio.
The programme supports Government ambitions to incorporate nature into national accounts and decision-making processes.
Vision: A thriving marine environment where nature is at the heart of decision-making.
Mission: To accelerate nature recovery and the growth of nature’s benefits by transforming evidence and decision making.
This post is dedicated to ensuring the success of JNCC’s mNCEA projects, which are currently funded to March 2025. JNCC is in the process of improving its project and programme management excellence; if our mNCEA portfolio does not continue, or changes, after then, we have other opportunities at the same grade, of similar levels of importance and interest, which we expect to be available.
