Corporate social responsibility manager: Corporate social responsibility managers monitor the practices of organisations and companies with regard to ethics and impact on the larger community. They advise on social responsibility and sustainability matters depending on the company’s needs. Corporate social responsibility managers promote actions that are environmentally conscious, philanthropic or related to human rights.
Zoo educator: Zoo educators teach visitors about the animals living at the zoo/aquarium as well as other species and habitats. They provide information about management of zoos, its collection of animals, and wildlife conservation. Zoo educators can be involved in both formal and informal learning opportunities ranging from production of information signs at enclosures to delivering classroom sessions linked to school or university curricula. Depending on the size of the organisation the education team may be a single person or a large team. Consequently the optional skills reqired are very broad and will vary from organisation to organisation. 

Zoo educators also promote conservation efforts. This can involve work within the zoo but also in the field as part of any zoo outreach project(s).
