Help embed Circular Living in every boardroom and every home.

WRAP is a global environmental action NGO.

Established in the UK in 2000, we have colleagues and partners operating in over 30 countries around the world and have offices in the UK and Washington D.C.

Nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the stuff we produce and consume. We change how food, packaging and textiles are made, used and reused by bringing organisations together to solve shared challenges and implement change. By creating better systems, we are reducing waste, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; protecting our planet and strengthening our economy.

We call this circular living.

We are looking for a Director of Policy, Research and Data to lead how WRAP uses research, evidence and data to strengthen our impact and

influence with businesses, governments, funders and partners.

You will build WRAP’s reputation as a trusted voice on circular living and sustainability, turning evidence and insight into policy influence, stronger programmes and better decisions.

We are looking for a strategic and curious leader with significant experience across policy, research or data, who can lead high-performing teams and turn complex information into clear, compelling insight.

Starfish is acting as an employment agency advisor to WRAP on this appointment. We are committed to being equal opportunities organisations - should you wish to discuss accessibility or any reasonable adjustments you may require, please don't hesitate to let them know, and we will be more than happy to help with any queries.

Applications should be received by Sunday 1 November 2026.
