At certain moments in a career, experience and personal values align around a broader question: what do I want to contribute to?
For leaders motivated by public impact, environmental resilience, and long-term societal change, this may be such an opportunity.
If you are an internationally experienced leader considering a return home to Hungary, looking for work with real meaning and tangible impact, we would particularly welcome your interest.

WWF-Hungary works on protecting and restoring rivers, wetlands, and natural forests, while advancing climate action and sustainable land use. The organisation is part of WWF’s global network and WWF Central and Eastern Europe.
The role
You will lead WWF-Hungary’s strategy, people, and external engagement, ensuring strong conservation impact and organisational resilience. You will also position WWF-Hungary as a credible and influential voice in Hungary’s environmental and sustainability agenda.
This is not just a leadership role. It is a chance to redefine what impact can look like in today’s Hungary.
We are looking for someone who
• Has senior leadership experience in complex organisations
• Brings strong strategic, financial, and fundraising capabilities
• Can build partnerships across public, private, academic, and civil society sectors
• Is comfortable operating in a highly visible, mission-driven environment
