FRIENDS OF THE EARTH IRELAND IS LOOKING TO RECRUIT A DYNAMIC LEADER TO
THE NEWLY CREATED ROLE OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER (COO).

Earth, the Chief Operating Officer will work closely with the Chief

With that growth comes an increasingly complex financial, funding and

management. In strengthening Friends of the Earth to better respond to
the challenges ahead and the need to grow the organization?s reach
and impact, the Board will now be supported by two senior managers, a

management systems, and the appropriate financial resources, to

mutually supportive community and present ways for them to participate
in and sustain the work of the organization for as long as it is
required.
