Working overseas and at sea

Greenpeace is taking action all over the world for our planet’s future. We need individuals dedicated to the hard work and professional standards that millions of members worldwide expect of the world’s leading environmental campaigning organisation.

 

As a Greenpeace employee, you can expect to contribute to and be part of an important program of work to stop climate change, save the ancient forests and protect our world’s oceans, earth and sky.

Working overseas

Greenpeace International employs more than 150 staff, from all corners of the globe, all dedicated to meeting the professional standards expected of the world’s leading campaigning organisation for the environment. From our Amsterdam office we lead global campaigns and provide strategic support to our national and regional offices, funded by millions of members worldwide.

We are therefore looking for dynamic team players who want to make a difference. We welcome aboard the people who run our well-known campaigns, actions and ship unit staff, as well researchers, fundraisers, press officers, political, legal and human resources advisors, finance specialists and many more.
