POTOMAC CONSERVANCY: COMMUNITY CONSERVATION MANAGER
empowering local residents to make a difference your thing? Do you believe that change comes from
collective action? If so, Potomac Conservancy is seeking an energetic and creative self-starter to join our mission for clean water.
Who we are: Founded in 1993, Potomac Conservancy believes the foundation of healthy, vibrant, and
resilient communities start with clean water. As the region’s leading clean water advocate, we shape the broader effort to ensure the Potomac River boasts clean drinking water, healthy lands, and connected communities. You will be joining a small but mighty team who work every day to fight for clean water through building a local inclusive movement of impassioned river advocates.
Community Conservation Manager: The Community Conservation Manager is responsible for the creation and nourishment of community driven volunteer teams that leverage hands-on stewardship and outreach to inspire clean water action, which addresses root causes of pollution through civic engagement and advocacy. Working in the larger DC Metro area, our clean water advocacy efforts are informed by communities, our Policy team, and our Clean Potomac Plan. The Manager will interpret a broad strategic vision for community action in a local context, requiring the ability to listen to community needs and enact change.
To support this objective in the first year, the Manager will also supervise our Chesapeake Conservation Corps Member, who will help execute socially distant stewardship events this fall along with newly trained Volunteer Leaders and our expansion of our Growing Native programs, organize summer recreation events in 2021, and plan and lead 6-10 private events for sponsors annually (health conditions permitting). In the out years, workplans will be dependent upon new ideas coming from the Manager, community needs, and organizational priorities.
Qualifications
• Strong belief in the power of collection action and collective liberation to effect change.
• Proven track record of volunteer management or grassroots organizing, either professionally or on a volunteer basis.
• Proven track record of building trust with people from varying backgrounds and beliefs.
• Interest in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice a must; experience is preferred.
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and requests simultaneously; strong project management skills required.
• Ability to make independent decisions when necessary
• Experience making data-driven decisions and understanding the importance of data management
to achieve campaign success.
• Experience with communities in the Potomac Watershed preferred but not required.
• Ability to work evenings and weekends and travel across the watershed as needed.
• Access to a valid driver’s license and either access to reliable transportation or ability to rent a car required
Location, Schedule, and Travel: While this position normally works out of Potomac Conservancy’s
headquarters in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, our staff is now working remotely because of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Reports to the Senior Director of Community Conservation. This position will require significant evening and weekend work but will offer flexibility to maintain a healthy work life balance. Significant travel around the Potomac watershed is required.
Latest Available Start Date: October 1, 2020
Salary and Benefits: This is a full-time position (40 hours per week, inclusive of travel time) with a firm annual compensation range of $40,000 to $45,000 per year. Benefits include medical and dental
coverage; 18 days paid time off and 10 holidays per year; 401b matching and flex spending accounts;
travel reimbursement; working with bright, fun coworkers; and interacting with a supportive board of
directors.
