Contract status: Regional post, full-time                    

Start date: As soon as possible

Contract duration: Permanent

Remuneration: Between 20,296,316 to 37,235,620 FCFA gross annually

We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities

Blue Ventures is a marine conservation organization that puts people first. We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity. Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal communities and is growing globally.

Across a dozen countries, we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community organizations to design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and conservation at the community level. We bring partners together in networks to advocate for reform, and share tools and best practices to support fishing communities across the globe.

Summary job description

Our Partner Network team is responsible for the scoping, selection, relationship building, and ongoing stewardship of organisations working directly with fishing communities that partner with Blue Ventures globally. Partnership is at the core of Blue Ventures’ strategy to seek out and support community-focused organisations by providing funding and technical assistance that can catalyse, expand, and sustain partners' work in establishing community-based fisheries management and locally managed marine areas.

We are currently recruiting a Head of Partnership Network to lead the strategic development and expansion of our Partner Network in the West Africa Region. The Head of Partnership Network West Africa is crucial in advancing the organisation's mission, expanding its influence and contributing to impact through effective relationship building across the region. This role involves leading and managing a team of Partnership Coordinators to form and implement partnership growth strategies, nurture relationships, foster collaboration and learning, and ensure the sustained success of the partnership network across the region and its link to the global community of practice supported by Blue Ventures.

Reporting to the Director, Partnership Network, and the West Africa Regional Director, this is a full-time role based in Blue Ventures’ offices in Dakar, Senegal, with regular travel across the West Africa region and globally to work closely with colleagues, partners and communities and other stakeholders.

This job requires extensive travel, including to remote locations that may be weather—and tide-dependent, and working across multiple time zones. Therefore, flexibility and adaptability will be key requirements for success in this role.

The successful candidate will be a motivated, proactive and highly organised individual with excellent communication and relationship-building skills. Excellent knowledge of a human rights-based approach to community-based management and conservation, especially in small-scale fisheries and coastal habitat protection, is essential. A demonstrated track record of establishing, maintaining and managing multiple, long-term partnerships with community-based organisations, including review, guidance and support for projects delivered by partners and exceptional written and verbal communication, mediation, troubleshooting and conflict resolution skills.

We are looking for an individual who is open to new ideas and embraces innovation and can demonstrate experience in building effective relationships for long-term partnerships in conservation and small-scale fisheries development.

You will thrive in collegiate and ambitious environments and be able to demonstrate experience working independently and with a team to solve complex problems in challenging situations.

The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won’t be solved by science alone.

Our mission in Discovery Research, a strategic programme within the Discovery department, is to generate new knowledge that transforms life, health and wellbeing in ways we can’t always anticipate. We fund researchers across disciplines and career stages, creating the conditions for ambitious ideas to flourish. By investing in tools, technologies, methodologies and research cultures, we aim to remove barriers and enable breakthroughs that improve health for everyone.

We take a long-term view, supporting bold and creative research that spans from fundamental biology to social sciences. Our approach includes regular funding opportunities for investigator-led research programmes, major long-term investments and directed initiatives in critical fields to catalyse new research approaches. Diversity and interdisciplinary collaboration are at the heart of our vision, ensuring richer insights and more impactful discoveries.

We are looking for Research Lead, Population Health Research to join our team.

Where in Wellcome will I be working?  

You will be working in the Directed Activity team in Discovery Research. The team is focused on:

• Analysing the scientific landscape and the Wellcome-funded portfolio to identify activities that enable research for a broader range of researchers across fields and disciplines.

• Managing our existing portfolio of ~50 investments

• Developing new areas and partnerships for potential Wellcome activity, either through funding research, advocating for policy change, and engaging and convening.

Investments are designed to stimulate fields of research and allow researchers to ask questions in new ways. They are intended to be transformative and disruptive. Recent examples include our focus on technologies (eg bioimaging, genomics) and on enabling platforms and capabilities (eg investments like African Population Cohorts Consortium or landscaping reports on social data for health).

What will I be doing?    

As a Research Lead, Population Health Research, you will work as part of a group of 5 Research Leads across the Scales of Life, from molecules & atoms to Populations & Societies. You will lead on the Population Health portfolio to:

• Drive strategic projects within the population health research workstream, from scoping and planning through to delivery, ensuring alignment with the Discovery Research strategy.

• Lead a matrix team to analyse and monitor impact of the Wellcome funded portfolio and to shape research priorities by identifying emerging opportunities, commissioning studies, and working with specialist advisers to advance population health research.

• Build and maintain partnerships with senior stakeholders and key organisations to deliver impactful initiatives and strengthen Wellcome’s influence.

• Represent Wellcome externally, contributing to national and international discussions, conferences, and networks to champion population health research.

Is this job for me?   

You’ll thrive in this role if you bring deep expertise in population health research and have led complex, high-profile initiatives with diverse teams. You’ll be confident building partnerships across sectors, influencing senior stakeholders, and managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication, problem-solving skills, and a collaborative mindset are essential to help deliver Wellcome’s mission.
