- Lead the process of convening, mobilizing and aggregating stakeholders from consumer regions/countries and key consumer/producer countries around market-driven mandatory processes, multilateral policy development and deforestation-free supply chains in trade agendas, including:
- Mobilize and further private sector engagement into partnerships with producer countries to advance TFA strategies.
- Help raise awareness of private sector readiness, action, and support of ambitious regulatory action among target governments.
- Advise and coordinate with strategic partners (corporate leaders, governments, and multilateral organizations) on effective multi-stakeholder processes.
- Support articulation of TFA strategy on public engagement with the EU, including managing private sector and NGO-targeted dialogues and convenings in the context of the implementation of DCF-related regulatory processes.
- Build partnership and alignment between global and regional TFA teams and partners’ regional teams. This includes high-level support on key global milestone conferences and venues such as G20 and COPs.

- Ensure robust and trustworthy information gathering and exchange, and support members in high-level engagement with government-led activities when relevant.
- Project manage overall TFA public sector engagement efforts, oversight of consultancies, achievement of project outcomes, and reporting to the grantor in collaboration with the Operations team.
- Capacity to be a self-starter, a team player, and to approach the role with creativity, humility, and a strong desire to support the TFA community
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong sense of diplomacy, and ability to communicate with stakeholders representing competing agendas
- Organisational skills and structured approach to work, with agility to move at speed in a changing environment
- Excellence in managing multiple competing priorities and tight deadlines in a fast-paced, highly demanding environment
- Ability to work in a high-paced environment, building collaborations with a range of internal and external stakeholders and moving from commitments to action and impact

- Significant experience working with forest-risk commodity supply chains, either in the private sector or with the public sector; experience in the soy, cattle, or palm oil sector is particularly helpful
- Strong understanding of the broader policy context impacting the private sector, both on climate and deforestation, and how companies operate in the policy arena
- Master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field
- A minimum of 7 years of professional experience working in the sustainability space, preferably on deforestation, sustainable supply chains, or climate change at a relevant organization
- Excellent written and oral communications skills, and a strong eye for detail
