Greenpeace is an international non-profit global campaigning organisation. Our independence and global reach enables us to stand for positive change through action in order to defend nature and promote peace. We investigate and expose global environmental problems, confront those in positions of power and present alternative solutions.

About this exciting opportunity

Greenpeace's investigative journalism team, Unearthed, is looking to recruit a talented and experienced investigative journalist to join an award-winning team breaking stories that inform and transform the global environmental debate.

We’ve exposed think tanks willing to lobby over Brexit on behalf of US agri-business, and climate sceptics willing to hide money from fossil fuel backers.

We’ve revealed the wealthy landowners benefiting from farming subsidies and the fish barons benefiting from over-fishing in our seas. We’ve exposed a leaked report into serious safety failures at an oil giant, and tracked down the UK’s plastic waste to illegal dumps on the other side of the world.

Our work has appeared on front pages in the UK and around the world, from Le Monde to O Globo. You will join a team whose stories are regularly covered by the New York Times, the BBC and other leading global news brands.

And you’ll be doing so just as the environment hits the headline news – from the collapse of nature to the threat of climate change. Unearthed is at the forefront of global investigative environmental reporting at time when demand for our stories has never been greater.

In exchange for your passion, skills and ideas you’ll have access to a toolkit of journalistic research options: our science lab, a network of supply chain experts, access to drone technology and satellite footage, vessel tracking, data experts, a Bloomberg terminal and our famous fleet of ships - not to mention a network of researchers and colleagues in dozens of countries across the globe and training to help develop your skills.

You’ll tell your stories through our major media partnerships and on our growing dedicated news platform - Unearthed. The role will provide opportunities to develop your story-telling skills including videos and interactive mapping.

Requirements:

You don’t need to be an energy or environment specialist – but you are someone who isn’t shy about getting out of the office, cultivating sources and finding stories.

You’ll be a cutting edge investigative journalist who’s as adept at sifting through complex data as you are at working in the field. You're confident in your ability to collaborate with a team of researchers and campaign specialists to deliver high impact investigations that make a real difference.
