To quote myriad TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
What We Can Achieve Together:
Grasslands are the least protected and most threatened habitat type on earth. The Northern Great Plains with its more than 76 million acres of grassland habitat across five states and two Canadian provinces represents the largest and most intact expanse of grassland habitat in North America. This region is home to diverse wildlife, 20 different Indigenous tribes, and family-based agricultural operations that take pride in grassland stewardship. Unfortunately, many of these grasslands are under continuing pressure of conversion to cropland, woody and invasive plant encroachment, energy development, and a changing climate.
Conserving these globally significant grasslands have long been a priority of TNC, and today we are prioritizing our resources to protect this iconic and ecologically significant landscape by creating a cross-boundary, collaborative initiative – called the Northern Great Plains Initiative – to scale and accelerate our grassland work. To maximize our collective actions, we will channel the knowledge, capacity, diverse partnerships, and relationships within TNC Business Units (state chapters of Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nature United in Alberta and Saskatchewan), TNC’s North American Regenerative Grazing Lands program (RGL), federal, state, and Tribal Nation agencies, and the many conservation partners and indigenous and rancher-led organizations.
The Northern Great Plains Initiative Director (Director), who reports to the Great Plains Grasslands Strategy Director, will lead the execution of the Northern Great Plains Initiative (NGPI), which centers on TNC’s 2030 grasslands goals. This role is critical for achieving the scale of outcomes that are beyond the reach of individual TNC Business Units. Serving as a player/coach, the Director will foster the NGPI through a “team of teams” approach that builds a shared vision and collaborative team structure, providing vision and strategic leadership. More specifically, as the Director, you will lead the development, oversight, and accountability for cohesive regional strategies in collaboration with Business Units and RGL and provide leadership on the coordination of staff and resources. You will develop and execute practical applications of scientific concepts, and encourage innovation for conservation specifically land protection. You will be expected to embrace an interdisciplinary and systems wide approach that includes science, policy, and conservation, and that unleashes the full potential of TNC’s highly matrixed expertise across the Northern Great Plains and the larger organization.
As the Director, you will be the spokesperson and key point of contact, both internally and externally, and serve as an experienced advisor, thought leader, and skilled advocate that maintains and strengthens partnerships in the Northern Great Plains – and in appropriate spheres at the national level. You will play a pivotal role in developing complex and innovative solutions; cultivating strategic relationships with NGOs, public agencies, and other key decision-makers; collaboratively developing and advocating for government policy; informing and delivering strategic communications and marketing; supporting and directing science staff to better inform our conservation work; and supporting public and private fundraising, including donor identification, cultivation, and stewardship.
You will also foster design and implementation of strategies that elevates equity in all aspects of our work as we know that inclusive conservation approaches and attention to the distribution of benefits are important for achieving NGPI goals. Importantly, the Director will serve as the lead implementor of these strategies. While leading this initiative, you will ensure that TNC integrates support and advocacy for priorities, needs, and outcomes identified by Tribal Nations and indigenous communities. As part of this support and advocacy, you will supervise the Northern Great Plains Tribal Partnership Director, TNC’s primary liaison with Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities in North Dakota and South Dakota.
We’re Looking for You:
Are you looking for a career to help people and nature? Guided by science, TNC creates innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that people and nature can thrive together.
By joining our Northern Great Plains grasslands team, you will become part of a group that is a force for nature, a force for people, and a force for our planet. Our team consists of a dedicated group who are leading the conservation effort on multiple fronts and who expertly bring strategy and action together. As part of the team, you will serve in a player/coach capacity, and be able to think strategically within a complex system (decentralized and geographically dispersed) and make decisions while considering multiple perspectives and effectively evaluating risk and opportunity.
What You’ll Bring:
Minimum of BA/BS degree and 10 years’ experience in conservation practice or related field or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Experience designing, implementing, and directing a major, complex program or project of strategic
importance, including managing finances, supervising multidisciplinary professionals and teams, and
coordinating the work of partners with overall accountability for outcomes.
Experience working with current trends and practices in discipline(s) and geographic regions relevant to this position.

As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive. Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity and respect for people, communities, and cultures. From a rewarding mission to career development and flexible schedules, there are many reasons to love life #insideTNC. Want to know more? Check out our TNC Talent playlist on YouTube to hear stories from staff or visit Glassdoor.
One of TNC’s primary goals is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that employees around the globe have a sense of belonging and feel that their unique contributions are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work. Recognizing that people bring talent and skills that have been developed outside the scope of a job, we take a holistic approach to recruitment that considers life experience in addition to the professional requirements listed in our postings. Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote a popular saying at TNC, “you’ll join for the mission, and you’ll stay for the people.”
What We Can Achieve Together:
A shift to a regenerative food system—one that supports resilient farms and supply chains, builds thriving agricultural communities, and positions agriculture as a solution to our most pressing environmental threats—requires that all stakeholders, not just farmers, work together to achieve this transformation. By working with local communities and focusing on the role of science and innovation to strengthen food systems, TNC aims to catalyze the implementation of regenerative practices across our portfolio of global foodscapes that can be a positive force for people and nature.
One such group of stakeholders include agricultural retailers, cooperatives, private sector agronomists, and other agribusinesses that producers in the United States rely heavily on for their agronomic inputs, services, and advice. Collectively, these “farmer advisors” are among the most trusted sources of information for producers and are highly influential in farm management decisions. Therefore, farmer advisors and agribusinesses are critical partners in promoting and enabling successful implementation of on farm conservation practices among their farmer customers if we are to reach our water quality and climate related goals.
The Agribusiness Partnership Specialist will network, build, and strengthen relationships with agricultural retailers and agronomists in the Upper Mississippi River Foodscape, which includes parts of northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, southwest Wisconsin and northwest Illinois, to implement Farmer Advisor priority activities and cultivate new business models to drive regenerative agriculture practices within ag retail and to position farmer advisors and agribusiness as a powerful and effective tool for quickly scaling regenerative ag incentive programs and systems.
The Specialist will work within a highly matrixed, multi-disciplinary team, as well as with external partners and staff across the conservancy. In collaboration with and under the guidance of the Iowa Agriculture Program Director and the North America Farmer Advisor Strategy Manager, the Specialist will be responsible for advancing project activities to meet outcomes, identifying and developing key performance indicators, monitoring and measuring progress, communicating information to stakeholders and ensuring all organizational and divisional standards are met. The Agribusiness Partnership Specialist provides technical leadership and support to the North America Agriculture, Iowa, and Upper Mississippi Foodscape teams by assisting, planning and executing projects in service of our programmatic goals, including pilots and collaborative efforts with ag retailers and other farmer advisors. The Specialist may be responsible for managing contracts, tracking budgets and deliverables, producing reports, meeting planning and facilitation, and may serve as the liaison for external partners and TNC staff.
To be successful in this position, the Specialist must be detail-oriented, highly organized, a good communicator and have experience with and/or knowledge of agriculture, agribusiness, farmer networks/engagement, farmer incentives and technical assistance.
This is a 2-year remote position (must be located within the Upper Mississippi River Foodscape with a strong preference for northeast Iowa), with private funding secured through June 2027 (with possibility for renewal). We expect this position to travel up to 50% of their time, primarily in northeast Iowa, SE Minnesota, SW Wisconsin and NW Illinois, with the occasional out of state meeting.
We’re Looking for You:
If you have a passion for conserving and protecting the natural world, addressing climate change and enhancing the sustainability of our food system, join The Conservancy as an Agribusiness Partnership Specialist.
Excellent relationship building and communication skills, ability to self-motivate, creatively problem solve, and to influence without authority are key in this role. Come join TNC and apply today!
What You’ll Bring:
BA/BS degree in conservation, agronomy, sustainability, or a related field and 5 years’ experience in natural resource management, project management or related field or equivalent combination of education and experience;
Experience engaging with agribusiness retailers or other farmer advisors.
Experience negotiating complex agreements;
Experience communicating with the public and/or media both in writing and verbally;
Experience using applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Web Browsers;
Experience with principles of regenerative agriculture practices; and

ABOUT PHILADELPHIA VIP
Philadelphia VIP is a nonprofit that recruits and supports volunteer attorneys to represent low-income Philadelphians who face critical legal issues but cannot afford a lawyer.
Since 1981, VIP has been the hub of pro bono in Philadelphia, annually supporting over 1,000 volunteers assisting hundreds of low-income clients in four priority areas: preventing homelessness, preserving income, supporting family stability, and promoting community economic development. Our staff of eighteen consists of attorneys, case managers, and other professionals and is highly collaborative, creative, and passionate about our capacity-building model of service. VIP values a diverse and inclusive work environment and encourages qualified people from historically underrepresented groups to apply.
POSITION SUMMARY
Reporting to a Supervising Attorney, the Homeownership Project Coordinator plays a critical role in VIP’s tangled title project.

Core responsibilities include managing and maintaining application materials, ensuring accurate data entry and tracking, facilitating regular communication with key legal service agencies and volunteer attorneys assisting tangled title clients, and coordinating with the TTF Advisory Committee.
Depending on organizational needs, the Coordinator may also carry a fluctuating caseload and assist clients facing tangled title and estate planning challenges. This includes preparing cases for placement with volunteer attorneys, matching clients with appropriate legal support, and providing logistical assistance to attorneys and clients throughout the case lifecycle.
The position is full-time (38-40 hours/week) and nonexempt, with a salary range of $44,000 to $49,000 and an outstanding team atmosphere.

Additional Job Information:
The Nature Conservancy recently came to an historic agreement with New York State creating the Follensby Pond Research Preserve. The agreement recognizes the long-term relationships Indigenous Peoples have with the region and creates unique access for Indigenous Peoples’ cultural practices. Our commitment to Follensby includes honoring the full biological and cultural relationships in this special place, informed by collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and assisted through our partnership with the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Center for Native Peoples and the Environment (CNPE).
The 14,700-acre Preserve is situated in Haudenosaunee and Abenaki homelands in Tupper Lake and Harrietstown in the Adirondacks. The Preserve was also the site of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s ‘Philosophers’ Camp’ in 1858, which contributed to the popularization of a spiritual connection to nature in the western world, and to the wilderness preservation philosophy within a budding American conservation movement.
Through our Indigenous Partnerships Program in New York and in partnership with the CNPE, The Nature Conservancy has been co-creating a more honest narrative of Indigenous Peoples’ relationship with Follensby, alongside restoring Indigenous Peoples’ access to and caretaking of their ancestral homelands. This effort aims to give voice to Indigenous perspectives in interpretation, education and stewardship practices at Nature Conservancy preserves and recognizes Traditional Ecological Knowledge as an integral approach to climate resilience.
