Why This Role Matters
The Tribal Engagement Coordinator will play a key role in implementing our new Listening to Our Lands program, a place-based initiative designed to bring Tribal Nations onto protected lands to foster land reconnection, knowledge exchange, and shared stewardship across Virginia's Chesapeake Bay watershed and throughout what is now known as the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Through community-centered engagement, land tours, gatherings, and collaborative sessions, the program will seek to advance Indigenous conservation priorities related to land access, tenure, data sovereignty, and long-term conservation relationships.
Who we are looking for...
We are seeking applicants with exceptional organization and coordination skills, and the ability to engage and build trust with Tribal communities.
The position is full-time and remote, with the ideal candidate located in Virginia and able to travel within the Commonwealth as needed.
