Summary
The Marine & Fisheries Program Director leads WWF-Indonesia’s national Marine and Fisheries Program, providing strategic direction, operational oversight, and leadership to ensure impact, accountability, and sustainability.
This role ensures that all program initiatives contribute to WWF’s mission — conserving marine biodiversity, ensuring the sustainable use of marine resources, and improving the welfare of coastal and fishing communities. The Director integrates science, policy, advocacy, innovation, and partnerships to influence marine and fisheries governance, strengthen sustainable seafood value chains, and advance ecosystem-based management across Indonesia’s priority seascapes.
As the head of the Marine & Fisheries Directorate, the Director holds full accountability for the design, implementation, and performance of WWF-Indonesia’s Marine & Fisheries Program. This includes developing strategies, mobilizing resources, ensuring high-quality program execution, and delivering measurable conservation outcomes that align with WWF-Indonesia’s Strategic Plan and the WWF Global Oceans & Food Practices.
The Director works closely with the Marine & Fisheries Conservation & Innovation Expert, who provides technical and scientific guidance to ensure that all programs are evidence-based, innovative, and credible. Together, they form a complementary leadership team — the Director driving strategy, partnerships, and delivery; the Expert ensuring scientific rigor, innovation, and learning.
The Director also champions cross-directorate collaboration, especially with the Head of Policy, Advocacy, and Social Inclusion, to embed equitable, inclusive, and rights-based approaches into all marine and fisheries initiatives.
Finally, the Director is responsible for inspiring and guiding a high-performing team, cultivating the next generation of conservation leaders within WWF-Indonesia. Working hand in hand with government agencies, local communities, private sector partners, and donors, the Director drives policy reforms, sustainable marine governance, and responsible stewardship of Indonesia’s oceans — securing a sustainable future for both people and nature.
