Environmental Coordinator

Environmental Coordinator

Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) is a Tribal health organization committed to elevating the lives of the people we serve. At KANA, employees are more than staff members; they are part of a mission driven team committed to meaningful work, community impact, and long-term growth.

The Environmental Coordinator (EC) supports the growth and success of Tribal environmental programs across the Kodiak region by coordinating technical assistance, partnerships, and resources for consortium member Tribes. This position works with Tribal IGAP staff to support work plan development, program implementation, reporting, and capacity building while coordinating communication among Tribes, agencies, and regional partners. The Coordinator serves as a representative of the intertribal consortium, strengthens collaboration, and supports the development of environmental programs that address Tribal priorities.

Key responsibilities include supporting the organization's mission and goals, upholding KANA's Code of Ethics, mentoring Tribal IGAP staff, building relationships with Tribal staff, agencies, and regional partners, coordinating with KANA's consortium member tribes, conducting site visits, developing environmental education and outreach efforts, strategizing ideas for future programs, and supporting the development of required grant narrative reports.

Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Biology, Natural Resources, or other related field preferred. Equivalent experience in environmental programs, Tribal environmental management, grant-funded projects, community engagement, or related areas may be considered. Experience coordinating projects, working with Tribal communities and partners, supporting grant-funded programs, and managing multiple priorities independently is required. Ability to work respectfully and effectively with Alaska Native/American Indian communities, Tribal governments, community members, agencies, and regional partners is essential.

KANA's standard work schedule is 37.5 working hours per week, consisting of 7.5 paid working hours per day plus a one-hour unpaid lunch break (8.5 hours on site per day).

KANA's work is guided by Courtesy, Caring, Respect, Sharing, and Pride. We seek leaders who embody these values in how they lead teams, steward resources, and serve the community.

Located on beautiful Kodiak Island, this role offers the opportunity to build meaningful community connections while experiencing Alaska's unique coastal lifestyle, outdoor recreation, and close-knit community.
