Project STOP (www.stopoceanplastics.com) is a new initiative to accelerate waste management system improvements in South-East Asia, starting in Indonesia, co-developed by Borealis and SYSTEMIQ. The project aims to make a scalable front-line contribution to marine plastic debris prevention and ocean health. The first city partnership was launched in May 2018 in Muncar, Banyuwangi, East Java, where the project team will operate for 3 years. In 2019, Project STOP is now ready to scale to an additional city, Pasuruan, in east Java and recruiting a team for the initial project work.

The Chief Delivery Officer will have a critical role in Project STOP. They will be responsible for managing the successful delivery of the second city partnership in Pasuruan, Indonesia – which is the foundation for the wider success of the project – and supporting the scaling and replication of the project to new city locations.

The role will require a high level of personal drive, excellent team leadership and project management skills, and highly developed relationship development and problem-solving abilities. In return, we offer a unique opportunity to work with international and local experts and lead a front-line initiative that can deliver breakthrough results for marine plastic prevention, circular waste management, public health and livelihood benefits in Indonesia and the wider region.
