We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities
Blue
Ventures is a marine conservation organization that puts people first.
We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild
fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity.
Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal
communities and is growing globally.
Across a dozen countries,
we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community organizations to
design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and
conservation at the community level. We bring partners together in
networks to advocate for reform, and share tools and best practices to
support fishing communities across the globe.
Our Technical Knowledge team
oversees Blue Ventures’ technical pillars (Secure Rights,
Community-Based Fisheries Management, Food Security and Financial
Inclusion) and supports the use of data for decision making, providing
tools, training, and guidance to partners and Blue Ventures’ staff
around the world. This team integrates expertise and deep practical
experience with pragmatism and a desire to enable others to deliver
lasting change, by distilling global best practices and knowledge into
usable tools, appropriate training, and responsive guidance and support.
The team is also responsible for delivering peer learning exchanges and
knowledge sharing events both online and face to face across the
organisation in addition to overseeing technical publications.

are currently recruiting for an exceptional individual to be part of
this global team, leading a critical pillar of the strategy on Food
Security. This individual will oversee the Food Security function,
including the development, refinement, and roll out of tools and
training to support partners around the world as they establish
initiatives targeting fish production, availability and affordability,
to promote nutrition, food security and financial returns of fishers
through assessments of the nutritional value of key fisheries,
sustainable fisheries management, waste reduction initiatives, and
interventions that increase the economic and nutritional value, as well
as durability, of fish catch. These types of tools and materials
include:
– Accessible tools and appropriate technologies:
Intuitive
to use and readily available, including software and mobile apps for
data collection and interpretation, simple decision support tools for
assessment, planning, and problem resolution, and community-level
materials for common activities, such as meeting facilitation guides or
decision-making tools to help communities decide which fish and
fisheries to focus management attention on.
– Training resources:
Manuals,
guides, videos, and online materials that provide concise information
and serve as self-learning tools, allowing partners to access and
acquire knowledge at their own pace.
– Knowledge development:

learning experiences to transfer theory to practise and enhance the
background knowledge and competencies such as workshops or webinars, as
well as development of good practice technical case studies and
publications.
– Skill development:
Specific hands-on
training, mentoring, or peer learning exchange programmes to enhance
technical expertise and the skills that are relevant to the context of
each pillar.

to produce and iteratively improve the technical support, ensuring
globally consistent guidance, while enabling context-specific
differentiation among regions. The ability to work in a diverse and
geographically dispersed team and to liaise and adapt techniques across
different cultures will therefore be essential. As a Global Head and
part of the Technical Knowledge team, the position strives for Blue
Ventures’ work to be at the forefront of best practice in the sector, by
learning from partners and practitioners worldwide to distil learning
and experience into usable practical approaches to address the common
barriers to achieving coastal fisheries reform with a strong believe in
placing communities at the centre of decision making.

through supporting dozens of partners working with hundreds of
communities across South East Asia, the Western Indian Ocean, West
Africa, and the Caribbean as well as being part of international fora
and members of expert panels. As such our technical team plays a key
role in identifying, collating, sharing, and transferring key insights
and successful approaches, updating information, training, tools, and
guidance around the world, and building a community of practice around
each of the pillar themes.
At the heart of Blue Ventures’ 2030
strategy is an unwavering commitment to empowering communities through
participatory collection, feedback, and use of fisheries and ecological
data for adaptive management, and playing a leadership role in our
sector to make this the norm. The Global Head – Food Security will have a
strong understanding and technical experience of food security and
nutrition programmes in coastal fishing communities and initiatives to
reduce losses in catch value (both nutritional and financial), with
proven skills in coaching and team building skills and effective
management capacity in leading a multi-disciplinary team and working
cross-functionally.

that women play in fisheries management and conservation as fishers,
gleaners, processors, sellers and negotiators and seeks to highlight the
important value of their roles in the fisheries value chain, that are
often invisible, so that they also benefit. An understanding of the
challenges faced particularly by women in fisheries and experience of
working in communities to find some practical solutions desirable for
this role. The role will work in close collaboration with the Global
Technical Knowledge team to support these goals, which includes working
with fisher associations and committees to increase the participation of
women in leadership and decision-making.
The successful
candidate will have a deep understanding of the complex challenges
facing tropical coastal fisheries and the small-scale fishing
communities that depend on them. They will have extensive, practical
experience of working with coastal communities in Africa, Asia, or
Central America, and partnering with civil society organisations,
non-governmental organisations, government institutions, and other
stakeholders to identify and address fishing issues, placing communities
at the heart of the solution.
The successful candidate will
thrive in environments that are dynamic, fast-paced, collegiate, and
ambitious, will have a proven track record in distilling complexity into
easily interpretable material, able to deliver high-impact written
work, and in communicating effectively with diverse audiences, ranging
from fishing communities, practitioners, academic institutions,
governments, the private sector, and other technical experts. They will
feel comfortable representing the organisation externally.
The
role entails leading an interdisciplinary and international team, with
strong cross-functional collaboration. The successful candidate will
report to the Director of Technical Knowledge and will be based in one
of our regional hubs, with regular overseas travel to work with partners
and field teams around the world.
The core technical scope of the role’s portfolio will include:
–
Data-driven assessments and interventions to improve food security and
nutrition for healthy and resilient fishing communities, including
nutrition education and supporting nutrition-sensitive fisheries
management measures;
– Interventions to improve nutrition and
financial returns for fishers operating in low-resource, data-limited
fisheries, including through improved fishing techniques, transport,
storing, processing, and marketing;
– Following and informing best practice and policy for improving fisher’s nutritional and financial returns.
