The North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC) invites applications for the position of Compliance Manager. The appointment will be for a term of four years, with the possibility of another four-year appointment. The NPFC is a relatively young regional fisheries management organization with the NPFC Convention entering into force on July 19, 2015 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The NPFC is responsible for implementing the objectives and principles of the Convention on the Conservation and Management of High Seas Fisheries Resources in the North Pacific Ocean (NPFC Convention). The Convention's primary objective is to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of fisheries resources in the Convention Area while protecting the marine ecosystems of the North Pacific Ocean in which these resources occur.

The NPFC is comprised of eight members and one Cooperating Non-Contracting party. For further information on the Commission, please refer to the following link: https://npfc.int.

The Compliance Manager reports to the Executive Secretary regarding fisheries compliance matters of the Commission. The Compliance Manager is required to participate in most aspects of the work of the Secretariat, including the preparation of relevant international meetings.

The Compliance Manager’s primary duties will include:

  • oversee the overall management of the Commission’s monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) activities
  • monitor and review compliance with conservation and management measures adopted by the Commission
  • liaise to cooperation activities with other regional and national agencies and organizations involved in fisheries MCS
  • provide the Technical Compliance Committee (TCC) with secretarial service and support.
  • research on new technologies and methods aimed at facilitating implementation of MCS systems
  • develop rules and procedures governing the use of data and other information for MCS purposes
  • provide technical advice and assistance to members and cooperating non-members on the effective implementation and compliance of the conservation and management measures
  • contribute to the Secretariat’s MCS services
  • other duties as required by the Executive Secretary
