HYBRID INTERIM POSITION : WRAP is looking for an Interim Programme Lead – Climate Action

About WRAP :WRAP is a global environmental NGO focused on advancing the circular economy, transforming how we produce, consume, and manage resources. Our vision is a world where Circular Living is the norm, and where systems supporting everyday goods contribute to global prosperity and sustainability.

WRAP works to drive Circular Living in four key areas: accelerating the circular economy, future-proofing food, tackling problematic plastics, and transforming textiles. We engage policymakers, businesses, NGOs, and citizens to create lasting change.

With offices in the UK, USA, and Australia, and active projects in over 30 countries, WRAP is making a significant global impact. By joining us, you'll contribute to making Circular Living the standard worldwide. 

Job Type: Full-time / 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Location: Banbury, London, Cardiff, or Belfast – you will be contractually based at the nearest office to you, with hybrid working options.

Hybrid Working: You will have the flexibility to work from home, while also coming into the office to collaborate with your team when necessary. We have flexible core working hours and a culture that doesn’t prioritize presenteeism. During the recruitment process, we will discuss what matters most to you in terms of flexibility.

The Role

As the interim Programme Lead for Climate Action, you'll be part of the fast-growing Food System Transformation leadership team, with a focus on our Water and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) programmes. In this role, you'll provide leadership to specialist teams, guiding them through a new phase for the Climate Action Team within Food Systems Transformation. While experience in food, GHG, and water management is beneficial, you'll have access to expert support and external consultants.

Reporting to the Head of Food Systems Transformation, you'll collaborate with Strategic Engagement Managers and Delivery Leads to develop strategies and funding opportunities.

In the UK, WRAP's food pact, The Courtauld Commitment 2030, has set ambitious targets, including sourcing 50% of the UK’s fresh food from regions with sustainable water management and cutting GHG emissions associated with food and drink by 50% by 2030 (compared to a 2015 baseline). This role will be key in achieving these targets and reducing the environmental impact of food systems globally.

Key Responsibilities (for 6-month FTC):
- Develop and deliver impact-focused programme strategies, working with Programme Delivery, Partnerships, Government, and Business Engagement teams to ensure high-quality outcomes.
- Lead and inspire a diverse team of experts, supporting their professional growth and development during a period of change.
- Maintain senior-level partnerships with businesses, government, funders, and other stakeholders, ensuring alignment with programme goals and identifying opportunities for growth in the Climate Action programmes.
- Represent WRAP and the Food Systems Transformation team at external meetings, events, and workshops as necessary.

Closing Date: Monday, 18 November 2024, at 12:00 PM. WRAP reserves the right to close the role earlier if there are a large number of applications. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for interviews on Tuesday, 26 November 2024.
