WRAP is a global environmental action NGO transforming our product and food systems to create Circular Living. We examine sustainability challenges through the lens of people’s day-to-day lives. We transform the systems that provide the products we consume.

Our vision is a world transformed, in which Circular Living is commonplace. Where the systems that provide our everyday goods contribute to the world’s prosperity and sustainability instead of reducing it.

THE ROLE

Reporting to the CEO and working with the Executive Team, you will lead how WRAP uses research, evidence and data to strengthen our impact and
influence with businesses, governments, funders and partners.

You will build WRAP’s reputation as a trusted voice on circular living and sustainability, turning evidence and insight into policy influence, stronger programmes and better decisions.

We are looking for a strategic and curious leader with significant experience across policy, research or data, who can lead high-performing teams and turn complex information into clear, compelling insight.
