Senior Land Management Agreement Officer

This is a unique opportunity to lead Natural Resources Wales’ Land Management Agreement (LMA) programme, a Grant in Aid funded initiative at the heart of protecting and restoring Wales’ most important natural places. Your work will directly contribute to tackling the Nature Emergency and delivering the ambitions set out in NRW’s Corporate Plan, making a tangible difference to the future of Wales’ environment.

You’ll work closely with Area Teams and colleagues across multiple Directorates to drive the programme’s delivery, ensuring objectives are met and progress is clearly tracked. You’ll oversee governance, monitor milestones, and provide confident, timely reporting that supports transparency and strong programme management.

Drawing on your technical expertise, you’ll interpret and apply relevant legislation to ensure the LMA programme remains compliant, effective and forward‑looking. You’ll help shape the systems, processes and ways of working that keep the programme robust and efficient, enabling NRW to secure long‑term, positive outcomes for nature across Wales.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the closest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
