The National Audubon Society is a nonprofit conservation organization that protects birds and the places they need today and tomorrow. We work throughout the Americas towards a future where birds thrive because Audubon is a powerful, diverse, and ever-growing force for conservation. Audubon has more than 700 staff working across the hemisphere and more than 1.5 million active supporters.

Reporting to the Deputy Chief Conservation Officer, the Senior Director, Conservation Funding and Partnerships leads the development and implementation of Audubon’s strategy to build and deepen partnerships with new, existing, and emerging state, federal, and multi-national public agencies to influence and/or implement impactful, high-priority projects across the organization’s priority geographies. The Senior Director works across departments and at times leads cross-organizational teams to identify, develop, and drive innovative public partnerships and funding investments in Audubon’s conservation work across the Americas. Under the Senior Director’s leadership, Audubon aspires to more than double public partnerships, cooperative agreements, and opportunities to implement transformational public funding through Audubon-delivered conservation projects over the next five years as part of Flight Plan, its new strategic plan.

Qualifications and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree required as well as at least 10+ years of successful experience in securing direct public funding such as working as a program officer within a public agency or private foundation distributing public funding. Three years of leadership experience required. An equivalent combination of education and work experience will be considered.
  • Demonstrated success in identifying, applying for, obtaining and/or managing grants or other cooperative agreements from a variety of funding sources at the six-, seven- and ideally eight-figure level.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and secure funding for large, ambitious, and impactful funding proposals that stretch across programmatic or geographic boundaries.
  • Deep understanding of regulatory requirements for publicly-funded projects and experience implementing compliant projects and programs. Experience with leveraging private investments as match is a plus.
