Technical Coordinator
Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home, the Earth? Working at WWF could be your opportunity of a lifetime.
All around the world, people are waking up to the devastating impacts of climate change and nature loss. The situation today is worse than the darkest predictions of just ten years ago, pushing billions of people to the edge and threatening lives and livelihoods. At WWF, we are facing our biggest crisis – and our biggest ever opportunity – to create a better future for people and nature. With over 60 years of experience and an active presence in more than 100 countries, we work to achieve both on-the-ground and global policy action, from protecting and restoring species and their habitats, to transforming markets and policies toward sustainability.
Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of expertise, ranging from conservation science and advocacy to HR and finance. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us tackle this enormous global challenge and drive the urgent conservation impact needed to restore our planet.
What We Do
We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and the ecosystem. From individuals and communities to businesses and governments, we are part of a growing global movement calling for bolder action on climate and nature, demanding that world leaders set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. WWF works to address the most dominant drivers of nature loss through system-wide changes in how food and energy are produced and consumed, and in how financial systems are structured. By implementing change in every country, we aim to drive visible and positive impacts on the ground, helping to restore nature in the most critical places around the world, from the Amazon to the Coral Triangle.
Engaging everyone means addressing the barriers to participation faced by some groups in society, including local communities. Conservation will only be sustainable if it is owned by, and benefits, local people. That’s why Indigenous Peoples and local communities must be at the centre of action on climate and nature. WWF is committed to using its resources and global network to support these communities in creating together the most effective solutions where they live.
Humanity is still in time, we have a clear pathway to solve this crisis. At WWF, we call on everyone to join the global movement, change how we live, and take action now.
I. Background
WWF Thailand’s marine programme is moving from fragmented project opportunities toward a stronger and more durable Andaman marine programme. The WWF Belgium proposal highlights the need to retain essential programme capacity during FY2027 so that WWF Thailand can maintain continuity, consolidate evidence, coordinate with partners, refine workplans, support GEF9-linked readiness, and prepare the foundation for implementation in FY2028–FY2030
The programme also builds on previous emergency dugong and seagrass work, which used a systems-based approach combining scientific advisory support, institutional capacity strengthening, community-based monitoring, citizen science, equipment support, and regional/international engagement.
The Technical Coordinator will support the effective coordination, implementation, monitoring, documentation, and learning of WWF Thailand’s Marine and Coastal Conservation Programme, with an initial focus on the Andaman Marine & Coastal Conservation Strengthening Programme supported by WWF Belgium and WWF Sweden.
The position will help maintain programme continuity, consolidate technical evidence, coordinate with DMCR and local partners, support site profiling and field learning, and ensure that programme implementation is practical, evidence-based, locally grounded, donor-compliant, and ready for scaling from FY2028 onward.
The role is designed as a technical-operational coordination position, linking strategic programme design with field implementation, partner engagement, documentation, reporting, and internal WWF systems.
