Welcome to Greenpeace International Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning network, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future. Our vision is for a greener, fairer, safer planet; one that can sustain life for generations to come. We cannot build this future alone, but we can build it together. If you are passionate about defending our natural world and creating positive change, then we want to hear from you. The heart of Greenpeace has always been its people. Whether you are working in Campaigns, Communications, Engagement, Logistics, Fundraising, Legal, IT/Data, Finance, People & Culture, or Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, we all have an important role to play. Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action. It needs you.

Letter from our IED A note of thanks from the International Executive Director of Greenpeace, Mads Christensen Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. A green and peaceful future is our quest, which began in 1971 when a small group of activists set sail to the Amchitka island off Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. The money for the mission was raised with a concert, and their old fishing boat was called “The Greenpeace”.

Since then, Greenpeace has grown into a global network of organisations.

Today, we have a presence in over 55 countries, made possible by its 100 million supporters and grassroots allies. Greenpeace has always been part of a movement of people willing to put their hope into action to create a better future for us all. It is that hope in action that we need in great measure to address the catastrophic challenges of the climate and biodiversity emergency.

Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Safety are more than just words for us. They are more than aspirations: they are the path to a greener, fairer, safer world. They are principles that guide us in everything Greenpeace does, including how we build our teams and cultivate leaders. We understand the benefits of a diverse workforce that is reflective of the diversity of the global community Greenpeace serves and of the wider movement.

As an organisation we must continue to focus on flipping the balance of power away from private profit and influence, to public and planetary health and wealth. We must continue to build counter power. Will you join us?

The heart of Greenpeace has always been its people. No matter what your role is, we all have an important role to play. We plan to become a leader in building and supporting a workforce that more accurately reflects the diversity of the global community Greenpeace serves as well as the values the organisation has. We really welcome applications from people who come from marginalised and less well represented backgrounds. As part of the onboarding process, we will support the new International Fundraising Director to ensure they have the tools needed to thrive in the role.

In this decisive decade, will you join us as our International Fundraising Director, to support us in leading in the fight and victory in the biggest battle humanity has ever faced? We hope so. We look forward to receiving your application soon.

In this role, the International Fundraising Director will oversee a department of talented fundraising specialists, contribute to and coordinate global marketing, and provide senior strategic guidance and leadership to the global network.

The International Fundraising Director will be accountable for further developing, monitoring and delivery of the Global Fundraising Strategy, as well as maximising the fundraising possibilities of the potential construction of a new Greenpeace ship.

The International Fundraising Director will also play a key role chairing the Global Growth Committee and the Fundraising Investment Fund, and for convening the Fundraising Directors community. Thought leadership and excellent people skills, to support the global Greenpeace Network to tackle acquisition and retention issues long term, are fundamental.

About Oxford HR Exceptional leaders can have exceptional impact. They can inspire change and propel social and environmental impact organisations towards reaching their world-changing goals. Finding such leaders can be a challenge; and yet their transition into leadership is vital to an organisations mission and success.

At Oxford HR we understand this because we’ve worked in organisations across the breadth of the sector ourselves. We’ve also worked with such organisations since 1995; so we appreciate just what benefits impactful people can bring.

This motivates us to enable organisations to recruit and support remarkable leaders – to look beyond the obvious choices and find leaders with refreshing perspectives grounded in solid skills and experience. Leaders who can navigate challenging times and intimidating transitions. Leaders who can make a difference in our journey towards an inclusive, equitable and sustainable future.
