Assistant Exécutif - Bilingue Anglais H/F Blue Finance

Blue Alliance (BA), an international NGO founded in 2016, manages Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on behalf of governments and builds social enterprises in the Blue Economy.

BA currently manages 1,000,000 hectares of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) across four MPA networks in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Zanzibar. With plans to extend our management to six MPA networks by 2030, our goal is to protect 2,000,000 hectares of coral reef biodiversity, safeguard over 70 threatened marine species, and significantly improve the livelihoods of more than 50,000 coastal community members.

Our innovative model not only focuses on ecological conservation but also ensures the economic empowerment of local communities through long-term income generation from reef-positive businesses in ecotourism, community-based aquaculture, sustainable fisheries, and blue carbon credits. Each business reduces specific drivers of coral reef ecosystem degradation and contributes financially to the MPA management through dividends and/or revenue sharing.

We fund early-stage investments into these businesses through our blended finance facility. We work with like-minded donors and investors by effectively co-managing MPAs and building Blue Economy businesses in and around them.

Our multi-disciplinary senior central management team (14 staff) collaborates closely with on-the-ground MPA teams and reef-positive enterprise teams (120 staff). The international team focuses on revenue and conservation strategy execution, providing expertise in effective MPA management, blended finance, and business management in ecotourism, aquaculture, fisheries, and blue carbon.
