The Ocean Cleanup


Position description

The mission of The Ocean Cleanup is to develop and scale technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. To accomplish this, forging and maintaining relations with governments and other relevant stakeholders is essential. The Ocean Cleanup seeks a motivated intern to support the activities of the Global Public Affairs team. 

This internship is an opportunity for students who, in the context of their studies or their doctoral research, wish to gain practical educational work experience and deepen their knowledge of international relations, multilateral treaty negotiations and implementation, transboundary law, grant writing, and blue finance.

We are living in a watershed moment for the intersection between plastic pollution, international relations, and law. We are looking forward to welcoming an intern who wishes to be in the first row to witness such a moment and to work with us in our engagement with governments, international organizations, and like-minded institutions.

RESPONSIBILITIES
The Global Public Affairs, Policy, and Blue Finance team is responsible for engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders that activate policy, financial, partnership, and advocacy support required by our global river scale-up. The team monitors global developments, political trends, financial innovations, potential risks, and opportunities for the mission. You will be involved in a variety of projects, with tasks including conducting research, drafting resources, communicating, preparing, and assisting during meetings and organizational tasks. This internship is a unique opportunity to learn more about the strategy, goals, and actions of a Global Public Affairs, Policy, and Blue Finance team.

  • Support in the preparation of internal and external meetings and international events
  • Support in the organization of meetings and events
  • Contribute to the communication of the work of The Ocean Cleanup, both internally and externally

  • Contribute to the development of stakeholder maps and market entry strategies for new geographies in The Ocean Cleanup’s pipeline
  • Carry out research on particular points of environmental law and governance related to the mission of The Ocean Cleanup
  • Draft substantive resources about the Mission of The Ocean Cleanup

Applicants should bear in mind that the nature of the work assigned will generally be a combination of both substantive and administrative work (incl. preparation of travel missions).
