MISSION TO METRICS 
To rid the world's oceans of plastic, we rely on supporters from around the world to spread our message, donate, apply for a job opening, or partner with us. This mission is not one we can do alone, and in this role, you help us improve how we attract and retain these supporters through various digital touchpoints. 

“Working in the Communications team of The Ocean Cleanup never has a dull moment. There are plenty of meaningful and challenging projects for you to get involved with to make a measurable impact. As The Ocean Cleanup is doing something new, we cannot only look at best practices from the market, but we also need to make our own path. The constant flow of new updates from all projects within The Ocean Cleanup ensures we never run out of things to share with our supporters.” – Erika Träskvik, Sr. Digital Marketing & eCommerce Manager
