We are looking for a Publications Editor to join our Development and Communications team. The preferred candidate should be a knowledgeable and creative individual, with experience in a journalistic or journal publication setting, a flair for writing, and a keen interest in nature conservation.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to take a leading role in maximising the strategic impact of the Centre’s publications. In this newly created role, you will help drive the delivery of high quality publications from UNEP-WCMC. You will work closely with the Head of External Affairs, colleagues in the Development and Communications team and the Centre’s conservation science programmes to ensure publications are aligned with and contribute to our overarching communications, advocacy and campaigns strategies. You will oversee the process of submitting publications to the UNEP Publications Secretariat, as well as overseeing our quality assurance process to maintain a consistently high standard of publications, and taking a leading role in sub-editing content, checking for tone, style and key messaging. You will act as the lynchpin of our publications work and as a bridge between the Centre’s scientific experts and its communications staff.
