Come join a team that’s driving climate action on a global scale

World Vision is driving a vision to regenerate 1 billion hectares of degraded land by scaling up Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) – a simple solution capable of regenerating land and lives, all by harnessing a universe of underground roots. Along with World Vision’s (WV) plans to expand its FMNR spread via community-based programming, we also want to mobilise and empower project participants, partners, and the global community to adopt and spread FMNR through their own efforts.

This role exists to lead and support the implementation of World Vision’s programme strategy and operations workstream to scale up FMNR.

Join the World Vision team and help the planet fight back and improve the lives of millions of children.
