Join as Programme Manager

Who We Are:

At Unearthodox, we champion systemic change for nature conservation through innovative strategies combining futures and systems thinking. We ask the hard questions and create solutions that regenerate nature and transform society.

Our approach, centered on transformative change, integrates thought leadership and co-creation across three key programs aimed at regenerative futures. Dive into a journey of innovation, co-creation, and transformative change with us.

Your Impact:

As Programme Manager, you will play a pivotal role in executing our 2024-2026 Innovation Strategy.

Your primary focus will be to leverage your project and programme management skills to drive the successful implementation of our current flagship 3-year programme, “Regenerative Futures”. You will be expected to implement our current innovation delivery model across defined phases, from reframing and ideation to incubation, acceleration, and closure, while remaining open to adapt and improve as necessary.

In parallel, you will directly contribute to the design, establishment, and operationalisation of the second programme of our Innovation Strategy, which is aimed at supporting a diverse range of innovative projects.

In this dual-capacity role, you will ensure that both programs not only align with but also propel our overarching mission to regenerate nature and foster transformative change. You’ll manage program budgets, streamline processes, and lead dynamic teams to achieve milestones that resonate across communities and ecosystems.

• Are you proficient in using project management tools and software to optimize workflows and manage budgets effectively?
• Do you possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of identifying patterns and translating insights into actionable strategies?
• Are you comfortable with adaptive management and agile methodologies, thriving in dynamic and diverse work environments?
• Can you effectively communicate and engage stakeholders across various levels, fostering collaboration and constructive dialogue?
• Are you a global thinker with fluency in English and perhaps another European language, skilled in navigating cultural nuances in a remote work setting?
• Do you live by the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?
• Are you proficient at working in asynchronously in a highly collaborative environment and leveraging communication tools such as email, Slack, Loom, Miro and Google suite to drive efficiency and inclusion?
