The Company is in search of a Vice President to lead and grow its Washington program. The successful candidate will be a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and strategic leader, responsible for advancing conservation objectives, strengthening a bipartisan network, and delivering policy solutions. This role involves leading a talented team, managing a budget, and ensuring the program's work aligns with the organization's strategic plan. The Vice President will also be tasked with fostering relationships with key leaders, both within the state and regionally, and will be expected to be a strong advocate for the company's mission, with a focus on habitat, climate, policy, and community building strategies. Applicants for the Vice President position should have a minimum of 15 years' professional experience, with a preference for a background in conservation, environmental policy, or related fields.

The ideal candidate will have excellent advocacy skills, a commitment to working across the political spectrum, and a history of building effective partnerships. Fundraising experience is also highly valued, as the role involves collaborating with the Development team and engaging the Advisory Board in support of the company's conservation priorities. The Vice President will be expected to lead a diverse team, foster a culture of workplace excellence, and be willing to work evenings, weekends, and travel as necessary.
