Job Summary

Emirates Nature–WWF is seeking an experienced Project Manager – Sustainable Fisheries to lead the planning, coordination and delivery of a complex, multi-year sustainable fisheries programme in the UAE.

The Project Manager will be responsible for ensuring that multiple interconnected technical, operational, stakeholder and partner-led workstreams are delivered on time, within budget, to the required quality standards and in accordance with agreed objectives, milestones and KPIs.

This is primarily a project management and delivery role. The successful candidate will require sufficient understanding of fisheries, marine conservation and sustainable seafood systems to effectively coordinate technical specialists, critically engage with technical outputs and understand the implications of project decisions. However, the role is not expected to act as the programme’s principal scientific or fisheries expert.

Working under the strategic direction of the Senior Programme Lead and in close collaboration with technical experts, project staff and external partners, the Project Manager will translate programme objectives into structured implementation plans, manage dependencies and risks, coordinate resources and partners, track budgets and deliverables, and ensure effective monitoring, reporting and adaptive management.

The role requires a highly organised and solutions-oriented individual who can bring structure to complex programmes, maintain momentum across multiple workstreams and stakeholders, and proactively identify and resolve delivery challenges.

Background

Emirates Nature is a UAE environmental non-governmental charity, established in 2001 under the Honorary Founder and President H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan as a legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed’s vision for the United Arab Emirates. HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the Ruler’s representative in the Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of Environmental Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) Board of Directors.

We operate with offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah and are governed by a local board of directors.
Emirates Nature works in association with WWF, one of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. Emirates Nature-WWF has been active in the UAE for two decades and is renowned for its commitment to biodiversity conservation, habitat protection, sustainable development, and community engagement. Some of our flagship projects include marine conservation initiatives to protect coral reefs and marine species, wildlife conservation programs focusing on endangered species such as Arabian oryx and sea turtles, habitat restoration projects in critical ecosystems, and sustainable development initiatives aimed at mitigating climate change impacts and promoting eco-friendly practices across various sectors.

It is our organizational objective to ensure a high performing workforce within our offices with highly efficient, skilled members all of whom will be unilaterally focused on supporting and delivering conservation activities to our stakeholders within the UAE.
