EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ZSL is seeking to appoint a Development Manager.
We’re ZSL - an international conservation charity driven by science, working to restore wildlife in the UK and around the world by protecting critical species, restoring ecosystems, helping people and wildlife live together and inspiring support for nature. We run two conservation zoos – London and Whipsnade, we are doing conservation in over sixty countries, and we are at the leading edge of conservation biology through our Institute of Zoology. As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2026, we have developed a vision for how ZSL will lead that journey and make conservation more effective. A key part of that is our ambition for our estate. We want to cre- ate a biodiversity and nature campus, in partnership with universities and others; a new home for our own science and conservation work; a centre for native species recovery; and new accommodation offers on both sites. These plans represent a root-and branch rethink of what a 21st century sci- entific Zoo should and could be and sets a strategic direction of travel for ZSL that will enable us to use our considerable physical assets much more effectively to achieve our goals. Reporting to the Director of Estates Transformation, the Development Manager is critical to the transformation of the zoo’s estate across both its sites. With expertise and an innovative approach to project manage- ment, there is an opportunity to shape capital project delivery across zoo, commercial and strategic sectors for ZSL to meet its vision to ensure people and wildlife thrive.
