Great River Greening (GRG) is Minnesota’s leading environmental restoration nonprofit with a mission to inspire, engage, and lead local communities in conserving and caring for the land and water that enrich our lives. Our services extend throughout Minnesota in partnership with local communities, governmental agencies, conservation and agricultural organizations, individuals, and businesses. Great River Greening has grown significantly in its geographic scope in the last few years, but the staff remains small and works collaboratively as a friendly and committed team.
Great River Greening values Science, Community, Partnership, Education, and Inclusion. Great River Greening is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Candidates of all backgrounds, including women, candidates of color, LGBTQ, or candidates with non‐traditional work or experience backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Position Description
The Program Manager for the Southern region joins a team of other Program Managers, each of whom coordinates and manages program regions with individual projects, as well as collaborates on larger initiatives. While many backgrounds are possible, we would prefer someone who has, in addition to habitat restoration, experience in working lands practices and/or agricultural land management. The Program Manager leads initiatives and partnerships within their region as well as working as a team to advance ecological restoration and regenerative agriculture within Great River Greening’s strategic areas.
Southern region
In this region, Great River Greening is working to improve water quality, soil health, wildlife habitat, and climate resiliency by promoting regenerative agriculture and ecological restoration. Many projects address agricultural and urban runoff in critical tributaries, targeted by pollution load and drinking water and wellhead protection. We do this through collaborative work with producers, local government, civic/community groups, producer interest groups, businesses, and universities.
Examples of efforts in this area include: a) piloting and supporting local businesses using Kernza(R), winter camelina, and other continuous living cover crops; b) advancing the use of silvopasture across the state; c) working with landowners on private easement management; and d) leading restoration and enhancement projects across public lands in the Cannon River Watershed.
The position is an exempt, full-time position with benefits including health, dental, 401k, LTD, Dependent Care, Health Care FSA, life insurance, and a PTO plan. The salary range for this role is $65,000 – $70,000 annually. Great River Greening offers a flexible workplace and staff are currently working hybrid-remotely.
