Are you an experienced project leader passionate about climate action and nature conservation? Join Ulster Wildlife as the PEAT+ Project Director, leading a transformative, cross-border initiative to restore vital peatland ecosystems.

As the driving force behind PEAT+, you'll oversee the delivery of this ambitious project, working closely with a dynamic team and partner organisations. This work will play a pivotal role in tackling the climate and biodiversity crises-reducing emissions, capturing carbon, improving water quality, and enhancing habitats for generations to come.

You'll manage project governance and planning, project communications and engagement, budgets, and impact measurement. You'll be an exceptional organiser, a confident communicator at senior levels, and bring a collaborative approach to partnership working.

We're looking for someone with a strong track record in leading large-scale environmental or EU-funded projects, with a passion for nature and the leadership skills to turn vision into action.
