Safer Chemicals Project Pew’s Safer Chemicals Project aims to measurably reduce Americans’ exposure to harmful endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The project focuses on reducing exposure to the most harmful EDCs in use in the near-term, while laying the foundation for longer-term policy reform to prevent additional harmful EDCs from being introduced. The Safer Chemicals Project is a collaboration between Pew’s Environment and Government Performance portfolios. The Environment Portfolio focuses on science-based, nonpartisan, and sustainable solutions to help protect the planet and people. We work in partnership with governments, Indigenous rights holders, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, local stakeholders, scientists, and other researchers to advance public policy so that nature and communities can thrive. The Government Performance portfolio provides the nonpartisan research, solutions, and momentum decisionmakers need to ensure our institutions improve the health of people in the United States and enable them to successfully climb the economic ladder. Those goals are pursued through a wide range of the portfolio’s policy-focused projects (with explorations into new areas underway)—from ensuring states’ finances are prepared for future volatility, to unlocking gateways to mental health care, to addressing the nation’s lack of attainable housing.

Lead strategic communications and media relations for government agencies, advising executive leadership and managing crisis communications. | Extensive experience in strategic communications leadership, media relations, crisis management, and advising government executives. | The Environment Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts For more than 30 years, Pew has been a major force in engaging the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment. Pew’s global environmental program focuses on science-based, nonpartisan, and sustainable solutions to help protect the planet and people. We work in partnership with governments, Indigenous rights holders, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, local stakeholders, scientists, and other researchers to advance public policy so that nature and communities can thrive. Since 1990, Pew has worked in North America, South America and Australia to protect large and critically important terrestrial ecosystems, including rivers and other freshwater resources, coastal temperate rainforests, interior mountain ranges, the northern boreal forests, Australia’s Outback, and Chilean Patagonia. We work to ensure these natural systems remain bountiful, functioning, and resilient, providing essential ecological services such as clean air and clean water, sustenance and food security for local communities and more broadly for the welfare of current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, sociology, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity. In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating large scale marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems. We also work to address systemic threats to the ocean, including from plastics, over-and-illegal fishing, seabed mining, and climate change. Enduring Earth Enduring Earth is a collaboration between Pew, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund and ZOMALAB, the family office of Ben and Lucy Ana Walton. Enduring Earth works alongside nations and communities to accelerate conservation worldwide, to help address the climate and biodiversity crises and support community economic development. Enduring Earth seeks to protect and conserve our planet’s ocean, lands, and freshwater – and secure long-term financing for conservation, economic diversification, and community prosperity. This is built on a commitment to uphold the rights of people and create opportunities for sustainable growth. The Enduring Earth initiative is built around the innovative Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) conservation finance mechanism. A PFP is a financial model that brings together governments, Indigenous peoples and local communities, funders, and other partners to secure long-term conservation, full and sustained funding, and community benefits. Through this approach, protected places stay protected because they are collaboratively designed, locally-led, nationally supported, sustainably funded, and highly accountable. The Enduring Earth partnership aims to complete 20 PFPs by 2030. Pew is currently co-leading four PFPs and is seeking a Senior Officer, Public Sector to support the PFP portfolio and provide direct support to PFPs. Position Overview The senior officer plays an important role in overseeing Pew’s Enduring Earth initiative’s engagement with public sector funding partners including bilateral and multi-lateral institutions.
