Job Opportunity - Ocean Sewage Alliance Network Director
The Ocean Sewage Alliance (OSA) is a project of Multiplier. We are a diverse collective of organizations and academic partners committed to reducing the threat of ocean wastewater pollution and increasing the health and wellbeing of both humans and nature. The OSA launched in June 2021, includes twenty diverse partners across conservation, academic, sanitation and private sectors and has established five working groups.
The Network Director position is newly-created and will be a critical next step in managing a growing collaborative. This position is essential to bringing together the many organizations, universities, cities, utilities, development banks and businesses that are working on the issue of ocean wastewater pollution, but not yet working together. With a diversity of cross-sector partners, a newly launched awareness building campaign and social media presence, and a growing pipeline of interested potential new member organizations, OSA is at an exciting point in establishing itself as a solutions-driven network of experts, cross-sector collaborators and as a knowledge hub for driving action.
