Greenpeace International is looking for a dedicated Senior Portfolio Manager - Campaign Coordinator to drive impactful global campaigns that promote social and economic justice as part of our broader environmental mission. This role involves overseeing campaign strategy, managing resources, and collaborating with multiple stakeholders across our network.


The Social & Economic Pillar of our campaigns focuses on transforming dynamics that prevent us from addressing the climate and biodiversity crises. It operates on the premise that meaningful social and economic change is essential—change that meets people’s needs alongside climate and nature goals. Its aim is to promote new economic models, increase funding, and ensure the implementation of climate and biodiversity solutions that protect both people and the planet. The Pillar also seeks to build a broader base of support for urgent action in an increasingly polarized world.


In this role you will:

  • Lead global campaign planning and implementation, ensuring alignment with Greenpeace’s mission and coordination with National and Regional Offices (NROs).

  • Oversee campaign activities, managing timelines, budgets, and performance goals to ensure efficiency.

  • Provide guidance to NROs on campaign design and execution, including delivering training to strengthen local teams.

  • Work with other Greenpeace programs to integrate social and economic elements into environmental initiatives, sharing best practices for enhanced effectiveness.

  • Build strategic alliances with NGOs, policymakers, and stakeholders to support campaign goals, ensuring strong partnerships and collective impact.

  • Develop and track metrics to evaluate campaign success, preparing reports to share progress and insights.

  • Engage with policymakers to advocate for campaign-aligned policies, adapting strategies based on political developments.

  • Contribute to fundraising efforts by providing campaign-related information for grant proposals and funding applications.

  • Lead campaign teams, promoting a collaborative, innovative culture and supporting the growth of junior staff.

  • Represent Greenpeace at public events to build campaign visibility and engage with media for public awareness.
