ABOUT CONSERVATION X LABS
Conservation X Labs (CXL) seeks to solve the world’s most pressing conservation problems by supporting innovative solutions that address the underlying drivers of extinction. We achieve this by developing new technology in our labs, leading open innovation competitions, and empowering talented innovators across disciplines to create transformative products that serve people and our planet.
THE FIRE GRAND CHALLENGE
Driven by complex environmental and social factors, severe fires are now burning larger areas at a higher severity throughout the year, even in previously unaffected ecosystems. With these rising threats, the impacts of destructive fire have far outpaced solutions. CXL is developing the Fire Grand Challenge to identify and accelerate global, collective solutions to reimagine how we live with fire across three key geographies—the Amazon, Western North America, and Southeast Asia. At its core, the Challenge will braid together Indigenous, traditional, and rural knowledge with cutting-edge science, innovation, and technology.
CXL is launching the Western North America component of the Fire Grand Challenge this coming summer 2024. We are seeking a Community Outreach Lead to contribute to the success of the Challenge by spearheading outreach to Tribal and rural communities, innovation collaborators, and partners. Applicants with direct experience engaging with Tribal nations and organizations will be preferred.
ABOUT THE POSITION
The Fire Grand Challenge team at Conservation X Labs is seeking a team player with a passion for conservation, Indigenous land stewardship, and innovation and technology. The Outreach Lead will work closely with the Manager of the Western North America region and the Director of Amazon and Fire Programs to develop and implement partnership and amplification activities to launch and run the Fire Grand Challenge. This role will include activities related to outreach to Indigenous and local communities, partner identification, innovator recruitment, and gathering information on the broader fire innovation landscape.
This opportunity is a part-time position (10 to 20 hours per week), with a contract running until the closure of the Fire Grand Challenge, currently slated for spring 2026. The exact start date and weekly hours will be discussed with the applicant input during the application process. This position is a remote opportunity, with preference for candidates located in Western North America, but with the option to work from the Conservation X Labs office in Washington, DC. The position will involve travel to relevant events and convenings.
The Fire Grand Challenge Community Outreach Lead will perform the following duties:
