About us
Greenpeace is a global network of campaigning organisations, working for a green and peaceful future. It comprises 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations (NROs) in over 55 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a co-ordinating organisation, Greenpeace International. We expose global environmental problems and force positive changes through research, lobbying and non-violent direct action. For more information, please see www.greenpeace.org.
About the role
As the leader of a new Nordic unit you will build and develop the investigation tools and skills available to Greenpeace Nordic's campaigns and projects. The research and investigations you deliver in this role will enable Greenpeace to win campaigns. You will be responsible for delivering investigations; building and coordinating a pool of freelancer researchers, as well as contributing to European and global investigation projects. Your unit will be able to deliver a wide range of research approaches - from undercover field investigations, to ship tracking, to identifying key intelligence in big data files. You will also assist campaigns to respond to unexpected events, helping them to access and interpret technical information (such as satellite imagery). As some of these investigations will be risky, you will need to ensure that risk management protocols are followed.
You will also be part of the Nordic Campaign Programme Leadership team, and closely involved in maximising the impact of Greenpeace’s campaigns.
Your main responsibilities
- Leading and ensuring delivery of campaign investigations.
- Developing and maintaining a network of freelance, seconded and volunteer researchers.
- Growing the investigation tools and skills across Greenpeace Nordic.
- Operationalising a pre-agreed protocol for information security and risk management.
- Building strong connections to the campaign teams, working together to spot investigation opportunities.
- Liaising with Greenpeace’s global investigations community as a representative of Greenpeace Nordic.
About you
We are looking for someone with significant knowledge and experience of research and investigations approaches. You may also have an educational relevant degree. It's possible that you have a background as an investigative journalist, or similar. You will be fluent in written and spoken English and have strong leadership, interpersonal and organisational skills. The role will be busy, so you will need to be able to prioritise and work under pressure and tight deadlines. Experience of working with research and investigations in the Nordic region will be a bonus and you will preferably already have a network of relevant contacts.
We will attribute great importance to personal suitability and culture. We will be looking for someone who is professional, collaborative and truly motivated to help Greenpeace advance campaign victories.
Additional information
This is a permanent position, ideally based in the Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Norway or Sweden). The role could also be fully remote, depending on the right candidate. Last day to apply is Wednesday 22nd February 2023.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with Sarah North (Consultant, Greenpeace Nordic) at sarah.north@greenpeace.org.
We look forward to receiving your application!

Workplace & Culture
The heart of Greenpeace has always been its people. People are our special power. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by passionate individuals who work together for a greener world and to create positive change. Not all of us are activists; confronting wrongdoings in the frontlines, but what we all share is a quest for a greener and more peaceful future. Whether in a staff role, a volunteer with the actions team, or an intern keen to learn, everyone plays a special part in our campaigning network.
That same passion and commitment goes into everything we do, from organizing crucial campaigns and tactics, working together on projects, team gatherings, taking part in employee resource groups, organizing Nordic Annual Away Days, to office re-planting parties; taking care of our plants and trees.
Key principles that guide us are our Cultural lenses. The lenses support the culture we want to achieve while working together and have been created and agreed upon by all staff. In summary there are 8 lenses; Collaboration, Trust, Relational, Inclusion & Diversity, Openness, Agility, Accountability & Decision and Taking Leadership.
