Together we are building a future where all Pacific peoples and nations are empowered, climate resilient and prosperous, with nature thriving and visibly recovering — a “People and Nature Positive Pacific”. 

WWF’s work in the Pacific spans three countries with offices in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Fiji, where our regional hub is based in Suva. Since the mid 1990s we have been working hand in hand with local partners and communities to protect and restore the region's astonishing natural heritage. In Papua New Guinea, for instance, WWF is working in the third largest tropical rainforest in the world, home to a staggering 7% of the world’s total number of species. Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands host part of the Coral Triangle, where 76% of all coral species are found. Fiji meanwhile is home to the world’s third longest continuous barrier reef system that supports some of the only coral reefs thought to remain under current climate change scenarios.

Across the region, significant challenges, from deep sea mining, deforestation, overexploitation of fisheries, plastic pollution to the ubiquitous threat of climate change threaten the balance of these unique, irreplaceable biodiversity hotspots. But with communities as our invaluable partners, the opportunities for meaningful change are also limitless.  

WWF-Pacific is seeking a passionate and experienced Conservation Programme Manager to lead WWF-Fiji’s conservation portfolio and drive delivery of our 2026–2030 Strategic Plan. This senior leadership role will shape the future of conservation in Fiji, ensuring our work delivers lasting benefits for both people and nature.

From protecting Fiji’s world-class reefs to building climate resilience in communities, you will provide strategic direction, oversee impactful programmes, strengthen partnerships, and champion inclusive, locally led conservation.

If you are a proven leader with expertise in marine and coastal management, community-based conservation, and stakeholder engagement—and you are committed to innovation, collaboration, and equity—this is your opportunity to make a difference.
