Acre is pleased to be partnering with Alupro (Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation) in hiring a Membership Manager.

 

Alupro is an industry-funded, non-profit organisation with over 30 years of experience representing the UK's aluminium packaging industry. They partner with local authorities, the waste management industry and the metal packaging sector to develop the UK collection infrastructure in a bid to drive circularity.

 

They are seeking a Membership Manager to manage current members and create new partnerships with organisations using aluminium in their products.

 

 

In this role, you will

• Identify, research, and actively pursue potential Alupro members and sponsors across various sectors within the aluminium packaging value chain.
• Develop and implement a structured outreach strategy targeting both high-value, low-volume prospects (e.g., large beverage brands, beauty and cosmetics companies) and high-volume, low-value prospects (e.g., aluminium scrap recyclers and exporters).
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, leveraging networking opportunities at industry events and conferences to secure new memberships and sponsorships.
• Streamline and modernise the membership sign-up process to ensure ease of access and efficiency for prospective members.
• Provide ongoing support to current members, ensuring high levels of engagement, retention, and satisfaction. This will include regular meetings with each member and coordinating training for management or sales staff.

 

Alupro is looking for a self-motivated individual with the ability to identify and pursue potential members and sponsors independently.

 

 

As the ideal candidate, you will have

• A proven track record of securing new members, clients, or sponsors, preferably within a not-for-profit or industry association environment.
• Demonstrated ability to drive revenue growth through membership engagement, business development, or fundraising efforts.
• Strong networking and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and influence senior decision-makers.
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, with experience leading initiatives such as digital platform development or membership engagement projects.

 

This role is hybrid with monthly travel to our head office in Redditch and occasional travel for meetings and conferences.

Are you ready to shape the digital future of sustainable forestry?

 

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.

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.

 

Oceana is seeking a Senior Director of Global Events who is passionate about protecting and restoring the oceans. Within the Global Development Department, this individual will lead the strategy and execution of the organization’s high-profile fundraising and donor cultivation events. 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.
