The mission of The Pew Environment Group is to promote policies and practices that protect the global environment, preserve healthy forests and marine ecosystems. For the past two decades, the Environment group has been a major force in driving conservation policy in the United States, and increasingly internationally. The group’s work is focused on reducing the scope and severity of three major global environmental problems:

• Transition to a clean energy economy from one based primarily on the burning of fossil fuels.
• The erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity; and,
• The destruction of the world’s marine environment, with a particular emphasis on global fisheries.

Global Ocean Legacy is a collaboration among six entities (Lyda Hill, Pew Environment Group, the Sandler Foundation, the Oak Foundation, the Robertson Foundation and the Waitt Foundation with additional support from the Tubney Charitable Trusts) to preserve large ocean ecosystems for future generations. The project goal is to identify and secure permanent protection for up to 15 very large no-take marine reserves globally over the a fifteen year period through 2021.

The manager reports to the director of Global Ocean Legacy (GOL) of the Pew Environment Group (PEG).  The manager will be responsible for increasing and managing the international public support for GOL, improving outreach and education regarding GOL and marine reserves and coordinating the GOL story and message across sites to ensure consistency. The position will be located in either Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington.
