Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Oceana is rebuilding abundant and biodiverse oceans by winning science-based policies in countries that control one-quarter of the world’s wild fish catch. With more than 325 victories that stop overfishing, habitat destruction, oil and plastic pollution, and the killing of threatened species like turtles, whales, and sharks, Oceana’s campaigns are delivering results.

Strategically located in either the Los Angeles, New York City, or Washington, DC areas, this fundraising leader will have a unique opportunity to drive engagement, build key relationships, and support Oceana’s mission through world-class events that inspire action and generate essential support.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead Oceana’s global event strategy, including the SeaChange Summer Party, the New York Gala, and other domestic and international events.
• Engage with Oceana’s Board of Directors and high-net-worth individuals.
• Lead multiple high-touch donor cultivation events throughout the year.

Join a passionate team of professionals dedicated to protecting marine wildlife and ecosystems while strengthening the ocean’s ability to sustain a growing global population.

Oceana values a diverse workforce and welcomes people different from each other in many ways, including characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and national origin. Oceana considers all qualified candidates and seeks to recruit from a diverse candidate pool.

What does Oceana do?

The sea provides food for nearly half the world's population, creates jobs for hundreds of millions of people, and plays a fundamental role in regulating climate. But our oceans are in trouble. Scientists agree that the greatest threats are overfishing, excessive bycatch, destruction of marine habitat, and pollution. The good news is that ocean abundance can be restored. Fish stocks and ocean ecosystems can recover, and critical marine habitats can be protected with science-based policies and responsible, sustainable management of fisheries.

Founded in 2001, Oceana leads campaigns in the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Belize, and the Philippines to revitalize and restore ocean abundance. Just 29 countries and the European Union control 90 percent of the world's wild seafood catch. Our campaigns are addressing more than 25% of this catch, by advocating for sustainable management of fisheries, efficient fishing gear that does not harm non-targeted species, and transparent data regarding fishing vessels and catches. Oceana's campaigns also focus on preventing ocean pollution from offshore oil drilling and discarded plastic. And we support policies that protect endangered marine animals, including sharks, whales, and sea turtles.

A restored, healthy, and abundant ocean can help fight climate change, sustain livelihoods, and feed more than 1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world.
