Across peatlands, floodplains and rivers – and together with healthy soils and other natural features across the landscape – their natural sponge functions retain, store and slowly release water. Restoring these functions can reduce the impacts of floods, droughts and wildfire while supporting biodiversity, climate adaptation and mitigation and resilient livelihoods.\n\nThe EU has begun to recognise the need to restore the water cycle and expand nature-based solutions, but these ambitions remain largely aspirational and are not yet consistently embedded in binding policy or investment. Implementation is fragmented and too often confined to pilot projects. Wider uptake requires stronger policy commitments, better use of public funding to leverage private sector investment, greater delivery capacity and practical coordination across water, land use, agriculture and nature.\n\n**Wetlands International Europe is seeking a nature-based solutions officer to help turn commitments into implementation.** The role will involve EU policy engagement, thought leadership and work on the public and private finance needed to restore and upscale sponge landscapes and other wetland nature-based solutions. Delivery will be via a mix of landscape and European scale projects.\n\n## Overall purpose of the job\n\nThis is an exciting opportunity to be central to Wetlands International Europe's efforts to deploy and upscale wetland NbS in Europe. The primary purpose of the position is to accelerate the mobilisation of financing and investments to enable the scaling up of wetland nature-based solutions for water resilience in Europe. The role will connect experience from projects and landscapes with EU policy, public funding instruments and private finance. This includes identifying and leveraging existing policy instruments and financing opportunities that can support wetland restoration and bringing together relevant actors to unlock investment and advance implementation, delivering benefits for water resilience, climate adaptation,mitigation and nature restoration.\n\nKey responsibilities will include **identifying opportunities to mobilise finance, engaging with policymakers and relevant partners** to strengthen the use of existing policy and funding instruments, convening public and private actors, communicating evidence and lessons learned, and helping address barriers to implementation. The ability to work across government, land managers, civil society, researchers, businesses and financial actors will be essential to **turning policy opportunities into investment and action on the ground**.\n\n### Public funding, economic models and complementary finance\n\n- Analyse how EU and national public funding instruments – including agricultural, cohesion, environment, climate and research funds – can better support water retention, carbon storage and wetland restoration at landscape scale.\n- Develop recommendations for using public funding such as through EU Common Agricultural Policy to more effectively strengthen and scale implementation and attract complementary private finance.\n- Work with project partners and external experts to develop and assess realistic economic, governance and financing models for nature-based water resilience, including blended and results-based approaches.\n- Engage with public authorities, businesses, banks, insurers, foundations and other actors to identify financing opportunities and barriers to investment.\n\n### EU policy and thought leadership\n\n- Track and influence EU policy on water resilience, nature-based solutions and climate adaptation, identifying opportunities and barriers to the uptake of ecosystem-based adaptation, particularly landscape water retention and restoration of the water cycle.\n- Strengthen the links between water policy and the EU Common Agricultural Policy, nature restoration, climate adaptation, soil and land-use policy.\n- Develop policy recommendations, briefings, consultation responses, presentations and other thought-leadership products grounded in evidence and project experience.\n- Represent Wetlands International Europe in relevant EU policy processes, networks, conferences and stakeholder dialogues, and help build a compelling public narrative for re-sponging Europe.\n\n### Partnerships, uptake and delivery\n\n- Work with members, landscape partners, public authorities, land manager and farmer organisations, business and technical experts to identify and overcome financial barriers to implementation, replication and upscaling.\n- Translate hydrological, ecological and socio-economic evidence into implementable strategies, investment propositions and delivery pathways.\n- Develop strategic partnerships and project opportunities that build on existing initiatives and bring together freshwater and peatland priorities to deliver nature-based water resilience and restoration at scale.\n- Communicate project results, practical lessons and policy messages clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences, working closely with communications colleagues.\n\n## Working relations\n\n**INSIDE Wetlands International Europe:** Under the overall supervision of the Freshwater Manager, the position will also work across our programmes integrating expertise on finance and landscape scale restoration into wetland restoration The role will be coordinated through the Strategy Team and involve close collaboration with policy and programme staff working on wetland landscapes and EU policies related to freshwater, peatlands and biodiversity.\n\n**OUTSIDE Wetlands International Europe:** Direct engagement with members, partners and civil society; sectors including insurance, banking and business; EU institutions, national governments and local authorities, academia and private sector partners and companies.

Our access to cutting-edge science, combined with our understanding of EU policies, on-the-ground experience from our members, partners and their networks, in addition to our own global network, makes us a credible and effective advocate for improving European policies and practices.\n\nWe achieve our results through programmes focused on policy relevant issues that comprise a variety of projects and initiatives. These seek to develop state of the art knowledge, best practices and practical on the ground conservation and restoration experience to underpin influential dialogues on policy and investment. We bring policy insights back to our network to help accelerate policy implementation and investment to the benefit of wetlands in Europe and around the world.\n\n## Peatlands Programme\n\nPeatlands are among Europe’s most valuable yet most threatened ecosystems. They store more carbon than all other land-based ecosystems combined, regulate water systems, and support unique biodiversity. Their protection and restoration are central to achieving the EU’s climate and nature restoration goals.\nAs EU policies such as the Nature Restoration Regulation and the Common Agricultural Policy move into implementation at national level, there is an increasing need for strong technical capacity to support delivery on the ground. Within this context, the Peatlands programme plays a key role in translating policy into practice by supporting partners, projects, and country-level initiatives.\n\nThe Technical Officer contributes to this effort by providing technical expertise on peatland restoration and management, supporting the implementation of projects, and facilitating knowledge exchange across countries and partners. The role also supports the development of sound methodologies, monitoring approaches, and practical guidance to ensure high-quality and impactful interventions.\n\n## Profile and overall purpose of the job\n\nWe are looking for a motivated and solutions-oriented Technical Officer to support the delivery of our Peatlands Programme.

Under drought conditions, natural sponges act as reservoirs that maintain base flows.

In high precipitation events, natural sponges retain water, slowing down the release and providing reduced peak flows. Under drought conditions, natural sponges act as reservoirs that maintain base flows. The case for rapidly restoring, deploying and upscaling these multi-benefit measures has never been more urgent given the need to adapt to a rapidly changing climate and increasing floods and droughts in Europe, and to meet the ambitions of the European Green Deal to simultaneously address our biodiversity, climate and freshwater crises.\n\nFor more than a decade, we have been identifying and researching areas with high natural sponge potential around Europe, including the upstream valleys of the German Middle Mountains in the Rhine River Basin, which were the epicentre of catastrophic flooding in 2021. The goal of our Natural Sponges programme is to rapidly deploy and scale up restoration to the landscape level across Europe. This programme is implemented in collaboration with our members and global network, and it has a twin-track approach whereby advocacy actions and the delivery of restoration practices on the ground go hand-in-hand. Our results have been promising: relatively small natural sponges can provide a disproportionately large, regulatory effect. We believe restoring natural sponges could have a positive impact on natural water retention over 125,000 km2 in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.\n\nMore information is available **[here](https:\u002F\u002Feurope.wetlands.org\u002Fblog\u002Fcan-natural-sponges-help-defend-europe-against-floods\u002F)**.\n\n## ***Purpose of the role***\n\nIn order to take the transformative step of deploying and upscaling sponges, we are seeking a Natural Sponges Coordinator to scope and establish a pilot site to demonstrate the effectiveness of natural sponges on the ground in the Upper Rhine River Basin of Germany, engage with stakeholders, build partnerships and influence decision making and investments in policies and strategies related to agriculture, climate change adaptation (floods and droughts) and mitigation (carbon storage), nature restoration and river basin management.\n\nThis is an exciting opportunity to establish, manage and grow our natural sponges work in Germany and beyond.
