Minderoo Foundation is a modern philanthropic organisation. We take on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change. We incubate ideas and accelerate impact. We push the limits of what is believed possible. Minderoo Foundation is independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions. We are proudly Australian, and one of Asia's largest philanthropies, with AUD $2.5 billion committed to a range of global initiatives. Our team comprises over 250 employees across seven locations.

Flourishing Oceans aims to return our oceans to a flourishing state. A healthy ocean is one that can withstand a changing climate and increasing human pressure, is resilient, and free from pollution with a plentiful biomass of fished species. As human pressure increases and the health of our ocean continues to decline, dramatic steps are required to protect and conserve this resource.

Sustainable Fisheries. We work globally to reduce overfishing, with the goal of achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal by 2030. We develop global insights, invest in new technologies and approaches, and develop on-ground actions in support of this goal.


The Sustainable Fisheries team delivers a range of programs, including partnering with on-ground organizations to deliver fisheries improvements and increase sustainability, building evidence and political momentum for regulatory reform domestically and internationally, and investing in innovative technologies and creating new information sources to improve fisheries sustainability.

The role will also involve development and leadership of other projects across the program, touching on a wide range of data sources and project objectives.

Immediate duties will be the leadership of the governance component of the Global Fishing Index, including but not limited to:

  • Develop a conceptual framework for data collection, synthesis, and production of policy and governance metrics.
  • Stakeholder engagement and project development/selection/leadership.
  • Management of staff supporting the GFI and other projects in the fisheries program.
  • Use department tools, systems, and resources for project management.
  • Prepare scientific publications, reports, briefing notes and study files on topics relevant to the Fisheries Program.
