Role Description
Common Seas is a not-for-profit enterprise on a mission to quickly and significantly reduce the amount of plastic produced and stop it polluting our rivers and seas.

How you will support our mission

You will lead on engagement with national, local and institutional policy makers to support the design, effective implementation and evaluation of these policies.
You will be able to draw on a deep understanding of how policy helps nations transition towards a plastics circular economy, as well as familiarity with stakeholder engagement for policy making, and insights into supporting financial and technological mechanisms.
As our Government and Institution Lead, you will be responsible for:
- Delivering project Plastic Drawdown v2.0 to enable governments to deliver effective plastic pollution reduction policies (working mainly with low- and middle-income countries)
- Expanding project Plastic Drawdown v2.0’s reach to 10 new country markets by 2022
