Space for Giants is an international conservation organisation that protects the great wildlife landscapes that Africa's remaining elephants need to survive and thrive. These landscapes give homes to giants, but they also bring great value to people and nations: biodiversity, livelihoods and enterprise, new medicines, carbon storage, even the very oxygen we breathe.
Background
Space for Giants is looking to recruit for the position of Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff will work as a key resource person for the CEO playing a role in overseeing and managing a broad agenda and supporting high-level projects, relationships and initiatives critical to the daily operations of the organisation.
