Regional Habitat Manager – SW

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) is a mission-driven non-profit dedicated to ensuring the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage. Since our founding in 1984, we have helped conserve nearly one square mile of elk country every day. In partnership with others, we have conserved or enhanced more than 9.1 million acres, including improving public access to 1.6 million acres. Our impact will extend to 10 million acres by 2030.

RMEF is proud of our conservation successes and is committed to making an even larger impact in the future. RMEF is seeking an experienced natural resource professional to provide expertise on conservation easement stewardship as well as wildlife habitat best practices and needs within the Southwest Region.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead stewardship of RMEF-held conservation easements (CE) in the southwest (currently 121 easements across AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, UT).
• Resolve CE actions, requests, violations, sales and ownership transfers, ministerial amendments, etc.
• Maintain landowner relationships
• Advise RMEF stakeholders on wildlife and habitat management best practices for the region. 

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of conservation in a dynamic, mission-driven environment.
