Project Manager (m/f/d) Risk Filter Suite - Science and Communication

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world's largest and most respected nature conservation organizations, active in nearly 100 countries. Backed by over six million supporters and a global network of 90 offices, our committed teams are currently running 1,300 projects - working to protect biodiversity for more than 60 years.

WWF Germany operates as an independent part of this global network. While nature and wildlife conservation remain central to our mission, our work increasingly extends across sectors - supporting stakeholders in finance, politics, and society as they move towards greater sustainability.

We achieve this first and foremost through our people: individuals who are experts in their field, who roll up their sleeves, and who are passionate about our mission - all while bringing a sense of joy and energy to their work. They are driven by a shared commitment to building a sustainable future and see their role as part of a greater purpose: the belief that together, we can create a future worth living.

Do you identify with our goals of WWF? Do you share our passion and belief in making a difference?
