The successful candidate will be a collaborative, strategic, and dynamic leader, responsible for advancing the organization's mission, enhancing financial sustainability, and expanding outreach. This role demands a strong communicator who can engage diverse audiences, from scientific experts to community groups, and translate complex science into compelling narratives.

A background in a scientific or technical discipline, coupled with experience in management, is highly beneficial.
