\n The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the best-known nature conservation organizations in the world. With projects in over a hundred countries, we pursue the goal of preserving the biological diversity of our planet - right where it counts.

WWF Germany is an independent part of this global network. Through our own initiatives and qualified lobbying in public relations, business and politics, we translate WWF\'s goals into action in Germany. We succeed in doing so primarily thanks to motivated and qualified employees: people who know their stuff; people who pitch in and give a hand; people who consider nature and species conservation to be not only a job - but as a conviction that together we can create a future worth living. And our employees are enthusiastically involved.

Globally, water resources and biodiversity are increasingly under pressure. To drive corporate action to address nature-related risks, WWF has developed the free online WWF Risk Filter Suite which contains the Water Risk Filter and Biodiversity Risk Filter tools: screening and prioritization tools to enable companies and investors to analyze biodiversity and water risks with the objective to mobilize and drive private sector action to address our biodiversity and water crisis.

The WWF Risk Filter team is hosted within the Water and Biodiversity Stewardship Hub at WWF-Germany. The WWF Risk Filter team is seeking an ambitious and motivated student assistant to support our work with the WWF Risk Filter Suite and within our partnership work with corporates, for at least a one-year period.

Do you identify with the goals of the WWF? Do you share our conviction? To strengthen our department Transformation Markets & Politics, subject area Economy & Markets in Berlin, we are looking for a qualified person by the date 01.10.2023 limited until 30.06.2024 (with the possibility of extension for one more year) in part time employment with 20 hours/week for the following position:
