    • effective community engagement, park relevancy and interpretation practices
    • Climate resiliency and landscape scale stewardship
    • Sustainable partnership models
  • Contribute to the collection, analysis, and reporting of program metrics and oversee the development of ad hoc reports and analyses, as needed.
  • Work with the communications and development teams to build engaging content, presentations and fundraising campaigns.
  • Serve on internal and external committees and ad hoc working groups to advance organizational goals and priorities.
  • Deep commitment to our values, mission and core values; and dedication to continuous listening and learning to increase cultural competency on a personal and organizational level.
  • Minimum of 4 years’ experience working in project management, grantmaking or public sector consulting roles.
  • Demonstrated work experience in the implementation of long-term (1 yr+), multi-stakeholder projects or consulting engagements; familiarity with the components of nonprofit grant management and administration preferred.
