The Green Lake Association (GLA), Wisconsin’s leading lake association, is seeking a dedicated and results-driven Project & Operations Manager to oversee critical lake protection initiatives. This role offers a unique opportunity for a skilled leader to play a key role in safeguarding Green Lake, Wisconsin’s deepest natural inland lake, through hands-on project management, operational oversight, and stakeholder collaboration.
ABOUT THE GREEN LAKE ASSOCIATION
Founded in 1951, the GLA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality of Green Lake through science-based conservation practices, education, outreach, and partnerships. We work closely with local stakeholders, partners, and the watershed community to implement solutions that ensure the long-term health of the lake.
Our office, located in a restored courthouse just a short walk from the lake, offers a collaborative work environment in the heart of a vibrant, tourist-focused community
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Project & Operations Manager will be responsible for overseeing and managing a diverse portfolio of lake conservation projects and ensuring the organization’s operational needs are met. This role requires an individual with strong project management experience, the ability to lead stakeholders toward achieving environmental goals, and a solid understanding of the scientific principles driving water quality improvement efforts.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
The responsibilities listed below are typical for this position but are not exhaustive and may change based on organizational needs. Additional duties may be assigned as required.
Project Management
Data Acquisition & Reporting
Operations & Infrastructure Management
Stakeholder Engagement

CURRENT LANDSCAPE
The GLA recognizes that traditional best management practices for reducing phosphorus alone are insufficient for achieving a measurably cleaner lake. As a result, we are collaborating with a Science Advisory Panel to explore innovative, science-based projects that sequester phosphorus—while we work with our partners to address its root causes. This pioneering work brings both complexity and opportunity, requiring creative approaches and a willingness to navigate uncharted territory.
Success in this role calls for political astuteness, adaptability, and a proactive mindset to manage evolving information, challenges, and opportunities. The Project & Operations Manager will be tasked with prioritizing multiple, often competing projects, ensuring each aligns with GLA’s strategic goals. As a nonprofit without direct jurisdictional authority over partners or landowners, success will rely heavily on building relationships, influencing decisions, and fostering collaboration to drive impactful conservation efforts.
