The Fisheries Technology Program Manager will oversee the implementation of the Electronic Monitoring and Connectivity for Crews at Sea project, and support CI’s efforts to protect ocean ecosystems and human rights in global fisheries through scaling Wi-Fi and EM technologies. The Program Manager joins a growing Blue Communities team in CI’s Center for Oceans and will work closely with a range of partners and divisions at CI, including the Center for Sustainable Land and Waters, CI China, CI Fiji, the Asia and Pacific Field Divisions and the Moore Center for Science. Through a science-driven and human-centered approach, the Program Manager will build upon a knowledge base in fisheries, connectivity and electronic monitoring systems, and human rights due diligence tools to oversee the implementation of the project, including project planning, implementation, tracking, and reporting on deliverables and project status. This work has the potential to have a profound impact on previously invisible impacted communities – fishers at sea – and to usher in a new set of digital approaches to ensure sustainable practices in fisheries, which are currently one of the most analog sectors in the global economy. This is a time-bound position through 01 April 2027, with the possibility of an extension.

The Electronic Monitoring Technical Coordinator role is a blend of on-board vessel fieldwork, inventory and asset management, as well as some data review and reporting. The position will need to communicate effectively with fishing industry members, fishery agency staff, fishing industry support groups, and other members of the technical field services team. Responsibilities include installing and servicing CCTV cameras and computer components onboard commercial fishing vessels across Alaska, along with data review and coordination of project related tasks. A strong understanding of commercial fishing practices and Alaska’s groundfish fishing industry is a very strong asset.
This full-time position would ideally be suited for someone based out of Anchorage, but other locations within Alaska will also be considered as a “home base” for this position. The position does require extensive travel throughout Alaska for installations and service work during prescribed periods as needed.
