Conservation South Africa (CSA) is an independent affiliate of Conservation International that seeks to secure key reservoirs of nature across South Africa for the benefit of all drawing on best practices from our global affiliate. Our Vision is a South Africa where growth and development are catalyzed through the sustainable stewardship of nature. We do this through working closely with the government, local communities, NGO’s and the private sector to create scalable green economic demonstrations underpinned by climate science within the Namakwa District Municipality (Northern Cape), Alfred Nzo District Municipality (Eastern Cape), and the Greater Kruger Landscape (Mpumalanga and Limpopo).

In this way, the Senior Director will make a significant contribution to the development and implementation of the strategic agenda and aims of CSA by developing insight-led people and workforce strategies to ensure that CSA can deliver and embed culture and change programmes that modernize and transform the way we work and build our organization and deliver impact to the communities and ecosystems we serve.
