Being part of the senior management team, and reporting to the Conservation Director, the Species Programmes Manager is a new role established to lead an integrated programme of evidence based conservation for both the rarer and more widespread species of amphibian and reptile. 

The role will involve managing a team of species and data specialists and overseeing the design, development and implementation of both monitoring/ surveillance plans and species conservation programmes and the associated analysis and communication of the outcomes.  The work will involve developing the species and monitoring work across ARC and also engaging actively with external stakeholders, including Governmental, voluntary sector partners, and providing presentations at meetings and events.
