Acre is partnering with FSC Investments & Partnerships (FSC I&P) who are seeking a visionary Deputy Executive Director of Technology and Partnerships to lead the transformation of forest management and certification across a global network. 

 

About FSC and FSC Investments & Partnerships

In the early 1990s, an international group of leaders in business, human rights and the environment came together to develop standards for managing forests. These visionaries were responding to the many dire threats to the world’s forests and established the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

 

 

FSC certification tells you that the products that come from forests have been responsibly managed according to a robust set of guidelines benefiting the environment and society.

 

 

While FSC is known for certifying what comes from forests worldwide, FSC is focusing on emerging certification systems for ecosystem services.

 

 

FSC I&P is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in 2016 with a commitment to amplify responsible forest management and innovation. FSC I&P collaborates with FSC offices around the world and the International Secretariat in Bonn, Germany, to deliver on its common mission.

You’ll be a trusted advisor and leader, managing a team of direct reports and collaborating across the FSC system to deliver high-impact digital initiatives. This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on global sustainability, combining your expertise in emerging technologies, digital road mapping, and business development.

 

 

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and execution of innovative technology strategies aligned with FSC’s mission and objectives.
• Build and nurture strategic partnerships with technology providers, sponsors, and stakeholders.
• Oversee the successful delivery of digital transformation projects, ensuring alignment with FSC’s vision.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, agile methodologies, and adaptive change management.
• Represent FSC I&P in global forums, building relationships and driving engagement with the wider sustainability and technology ecosystem.
• Manage and develop a high-performing team, fostering collaboration and professional growth.

 

 

About You

• Proven leadership in digital transformation, technology partnerships, and platform innovation.
• Deep understanding of enterprise technology, data-rich IT infrastructure, and R&D.
• Strong track record in business development, fundraising, and strategic relationship management.
• Experience with agile project management, solution design, and stakeholder engagement.
• Passion for sustainability, forestry, and making a global impact through technology.

 

 

Why Join FSC I&P?

• Be at the forefront of digital innovation in sustainability and responsible forestry.
• Collaborate with world-class experts and global partners.
• Enjoy a dynamic, mission-driven environment where your ideas drive real-world change.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and flexible working arrangements.
