About The Position

At the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), we believe forests are vital to life on Earth—and that responsible forest management can drive positive environmental, social, and economic change. For over 30 years, FSC has brought together businesses, communities, governments, and civil society to protect forests and the people who depend on them.

We are now looking for a North America Engagement Manager to join our Regional Team and help deepen and expand FSC’s engagement with stakeholders across the United States and Canada.

This is a newly created role with a strong outward-facing focus. You will work closely with FSC Network Partners, government stakeholders, members, certificate holders, and industry groups—bringing people together around FSC’s mission and value proposition.

As the North America Engagement Manager, you will play a key role in strengthening FSC’s presence and relationships in the region. You are curious about stakeholder needs, comfortable working across cultures and disciplines, and motivated by purpose-driven work.

You will balance stakeholder outreach, government relations support, and commercial engagement, while collaborating closely with colleagues across FSC International and the North America network. This is a remote role, with occasional travel for events and meetings.
