About the Role

The Company is in search of an Executive Director to guide the organization through a significant leadership transition and to build upon its extensive history of conservation impact. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing strategic, operational, and financial leadership, and will serve as the primary ambassador and champion for the organization's mission. This role involves leading a dedicated staff team, cultivating strong partnerships, and representing the organization with a diverse range of constituents, including community members, Tribal Nations, government agencies, and funders. The Executive Director will be expected to work closely with the Board of Directors, and to be based in the region, with a commitment to frequent travel. The ideal Executive Director for the company will be a curious, thoughtful, and collaborative leader, with a deep understanding of the importance of trust, partnership, and a shared commitment to the conservation of the region. Success in this role will be measured by the ability to build trust, deepen relationships, and support the staff team in a thoughtful and strategic manner.
