You must have substantial experience of working on marine issues.  A sound understanding of fisheries policy is essential, preferably with a knowledge of the Scottish industry.

A proven team player, you must have commitment, drive and a solutions-orientated approach to your work.  A commitment to and support for WWF's mission is essential.
