About the Role

The Company is in search of a new Executive Director to lead its conservation efforts in the Pacific Northwest. The successful candidate will be a visionary leader with a strong background in nonprofit management, deeply knowledgeable in environmental science and conservation, and familiar with the regional conservation landscape. Key responsibilities for the Executive Director include setting and executing organizational strategy, cultivating major donor relationships, advancing governance, ensuring financial viability, and providing strategic leadership for program execution. The role also involves fostering a healthy internal culture, building and empowering staff, and leading policy and legislative influence. The ideal candidate will be a proven collaborator, a successful fundraiser, and a skilled communicator, with a commitment to fair and respectful inclusion, particularly in engaging tribal communities in conservation work.

Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should be prepared to demonstrate their genuine passion for protecting wildlands and wildlife, as well as their ability to shape the future of conservation strategy in the region. The role requires a leader who can build on the organization's legacy of success, strengthen collaborative partnerships, and foster organizational impact and staff excellence. The candidate must be a proactive and pragmatic individual, capable of managing complex relationships and finding common ground across diverse constituencies. A successful track record in fundraising, strategic planning, and stakeholder management is essential, as is a commitment to the values of boldness, pragmatism, collaboration, and integrity in science and relationships. The company is an equal-opportunity employer and encourages applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
