Tuna Manager, Smart Fishing Network Initiative (SFNI)
By 2020, healthy, recovering and resilient marine ecosystems that provide improved food security for the planet and improved livelihoods for dependent communities are achieved through responsible management and trade in four key fishery groups (whitefish, tuna, shrimp and forage fisheries).

Lead, manage, coordinate the WWF Network SFNI priority tuna issues (50%) and fundraise for the SFNI (40%).

- Provide cross-cutting fisheries expertise and management of large scale fisheries
conservation programmes to ensure the direction and quality of the SFNI has the
maximum chance of delivering its tuna objectives. This includes developing and
implementing a workplan for the SFNI tuna strategy with the network and other NIs (CT,
CEA, MTNI).
- Provide expertise in the management of, and support to, diverse teams (both culturally
and geographically) to ensure optimal implementation and execution of the SFNI tuna
workplan.
- Strategically serve, manage and coordinate Network efforts to reduce major fishing
footprint threats like overfishing and bycatch in tuna fisheries in close cooperation with the
SFNI’s Enabling Team, the CTNI, CEANI and the relevant LAC offices.
- Identify priority tuna policy issues and lead network processes to address them.
- Ensure the network is represented in relevant external fora internationally especially
fisheries governance, tuna management and industry engagement.
- Identify potential funding sources and fundraise for tuna conservation and more broadly
as appropriate for the NI.
- Develop and deliver fundraising proposals and effectively liaise with funders, in
conjunction with the relevant network development/fundraising teams.
