We unlock power with coastal communities

Blue Ventures connects coastal communities, restoring the ocean, providing the resources and partnerships they need to unlock their power and turn local action into global impact. We link communities with allies, knowledge and influence to create unstoppable waves of change.

Together, we’re placing communities at the centre of solutions to sustain fisheries, manage ecosystems and redefine how the world protects the ocean.

Summary job description

We seek a consultant or team with strong experience in service design, customer experience (CX), user experience (UX) or human-centred service transformation to bring an independent partner-experience perspective and organisational critique to this work.

The consultancy will examine the end-to-end experience of working with Blue Ventures and connect it to the organisational choices shaping that experience. This includes how functions such as training and learning, partnerships, programme performance, data science and advocacy engage partners and coordinate their work.

Direct partner research will inform the assignment. The consultant must also bring the expertise to interpret and challenge existing arrangements, develop alternative approaches and demonstrate how support could be designed and delivered differently.

The work should introduce a shared framework that Blue Ventures can continue using beyond the consultancy. By applying this framework to selected priority areas, the consultant should demonstrate its value and help teams develop the understanding and practices needed to maintain it. The assignment is not expected to identify or design every change the organisation may need.

The primary focus will be partners funded through the Frontline Community Fund (FCF) and their interactions across Blue Ventures. The consultancy will complement our wider Partnership Strategy and internal operating model review, informing both without taking responsibility for the overall strategy, a comprehensive internal efficiency review or full implementation of recommendations.

Blue Ventures

We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities Blue Ventures develops transformative approaches for catalysing and sustaining locally led marine conservation. We work in places where the ocean is vital to local cultures and economies, and are committed to protecting marine biodiversity in ways that benefit coastal people.

Our story started over a decade ago, surveying coral reefs in the Mozambique channel. Vezo communities in southern Madagascar were concerned about the decline of their fisheries, so we supported one village to experiment with closing off a small section of their octopus gleaning area for a few months, to see whether this might boost productivity.When the closure was re-opened, communities experienced a huge increase in octopus landings and fisher incomes. As news of this remarkable fishery boom spread, neighbouring communities started copying this approach. Crucially, this sparked interest in more ambitious coastal management efforts, leading to the creation of the country’s first Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA) governed by a small network of fishing villages.Since then, this temporary fishery closure model has gone viral along thousands of kilometres of Madagascar’s coastline, spawning a grassroots marine conservation revolution with 64 more LMMAs established to date. Today, 11% of the island’s seabed is managed by communities, for communities.Our work is about much more than octopus. These experiences have guided our journey searching for new approaches to demonstrate that marine conservation can be in everyone’s interest, and that taking less from our ocean can give us much much more.
