About the role

We are living through a decisive chapter in human history. The polycrises are accelerating before our eyes, yet people continue to rise, resist, and reimagine what is possible. At Greenpeace Nordic, this moment demands more from us: more courage, more imagination, and more action. We are looking for someone who shares our belief that boldness is exactly what the world needs right now, and who can inspire our donors to build a better future with us.
