About The Position

The Scope At FSC International, we believe forests are more than landscapes — they are livelihoods, cultures, ecosystems, and the foundation of a sustainable future. As the world’s most trusted forest certification system, FSC brings together environmental, social, and economic interests to protect forests and the people who depend on them. Our work reaches across continents, cultures, and communities, and our credibility depends on integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Acting as the primary regional focal point and subject-matter contributor, the role provides structured analysis, stakeholder guidance, and process improvement to support high-quality and consistent application of remedy processes.
