We want future generations to be able to enjoy seafood and oceans full of life,
forever.
The Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) vision is for the world’s oceans teeming with
life, and seafood supplies safeguarded for this and future generations. An international,
non-profit organisation operating the most globally recognised standard for sustainable
fishing in use, the MSC has established itself on the world stage: in 25 years, the MSC
has achieved a truly global presence, affecting positive, ecological change in oceans
and providing certified, sustainable, seafood in more than 100 countries, from fisheries
operating around all continents.
Underpinning and integral to the MSC’s work and its ecolabel program are our
technology and data platforms and services. The Technology and Data Director
performs a critical role within the Corporate Services department, responsible for the
development and maintenance of all MSC digital and data systems and services, which
are provided both to internal and external users.
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this role encompasses strategic planning and
leadership of MSC’s digital and data transformation, day-to-day service delivery and the
evolution of these services, digital and data governance, as well as helping to catalyse
the required changes in staff and organisational skills and culture.
In this role, we are seeking an experienced technology and data leader who is
comfortable working both strategically and operationally in a fast-paced international
environment, managing multiple, often complicated, priorities while delivering excellent
results. The ideal candidate will bring experience gained in organisations undergoing
digital transformation and leading major change, including the introduction of new
platforms and services, and a robust understanding of how to safeguard and to organise
data for maximum organisational effect. You will demonstrate a people-centred
approach, with a track record of effective relationship building across teams within an
organisation of geographically and culturally diverse members. Crucially, you will bring
the gravitas and sensitivity to gain credibility and respect of staff at all levels at MSC and
be able to demonstrate to others your empathy and interest in the MSC’s mission and
objectives.
