Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Project Manager

The mission of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is to conserve the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive. Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity and respect for people, communities, and cultures. From a rewarding mission to career development and flexible schedules, there are many reasons to love life #insideTNC.

WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) maximize the ability of nature to provide ecosystem services that help address human challenges, such as climate change adaptation, disaster-risk reduction, reducing water pollution, and food production, while at the same time helping restore and enhance biodiversity. The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong business unit is developing an NbS for Climate strategy that aims to design and implement NbS for Climate pilot projects as proof of concept on the ground—with a focus on the Northern Metropolis region, and to influence urban planning processes by incorporating the NbS concept and methodologies into development policies.

The NbS Project Manager will be responsible for managing and leading small to large-scale complex projects across the Hong Kong TNC work programme that contributes to TNC’s 2030 goals. A primary focus of the role will be to build the NbS evidence base through academic partnerships, demonstrate NbS site projects, and engage with government, local communities, and other parties to incentivize the uptake of NbS pathways such as coastal wetland restoration.

This is intended to be a full-time, fixed term (three-year) position, with the possibility to renew.

Candidate with more experience and qualifications may be considered as Senior NbS Project Manager.
