About the position
Do you have a nose for spotting patterns, an eye for detail, and a knack for juggling several projects at once? If you have a vision for how geospatial science can advance conservation, apply to be the Grand Canyon Trust’s GIS manager.
As our senior GIS analyst, you'll be part of a team finding creative ways to communicate conservation stories to the public, policymakers, and colleagues through maps and data. You will manage projects that directly impact conservation across the Colorado Plateau, help translate science and policy into visuals, and lead our geospatial analysis. You will design, develop, and implement systems and databases to access and store geospatial data for the Trust’s conservation programs. You will also be the primary lead in providing geospatial field support and creating and managing the field data workflow prior to and after data collection.
As glamorous as all that sounds, let's be realistic: To accomplish any of these tasks, you simultaneously need to upload and organize file structures, enter metadata, create new data, process data from many sources, perform repetitive data cleanup and entry, ensure geospatial services are functioning, communicate with Trust program staff, and keep up with technological changes.
If you can spot a data error or misspelling in a sea of labels, transform non-spatial data into spatial data, communicate with non-GIS personnel, and work well in a team setting and independently, then this is the job for you.
What does this position entail?
Brainstorm new ways geospatial sciences can support our conservation work.
Engage in a mix of data organization and database design, project management, analytical processing, and scripting.
Build and customize interactive web content to guide our field and volunteer crews.
Develop scripts and automation to process big data from various states and federal agencies quickly.
Plan workflows and systems for data efficiency, keeping ever-changing datasets current.
Update existing data and maps, such as pronghorn fence modifications , as volunteer crews complete projects on the ground.
Add hikes to our Colorado Plateau Explorer hiking tool.
Map land management and protection proposals across public lands in the Four corner states, including Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments, the greater Grand Canyon region, and national forests.
Do you have what it takes?
You have four years of demonstrated professional GIS experience and/or a degree in geography, GIS, or a comparable field with extensive coursework in GIS.
You are comfortable working in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Excel, relational databases, and any spatial file types.
You are familiar with Esri Survey 123, Field Maps, mobile map packages, and offline mapping.
You have some experience working with remote sensing and coding languages such as Python, R, and XML and experience with cloud-based data storage, ArcGIS Server, AWS EC2, or similar server architecture.
You understand data hierarchies, the security complexities of cloud-based data storage, and permissions.
You enjoy translating complex scientific and technical information into spatial data.
You can research effectively, process information efficiently, and see a project through from start to finish.
You can communicate clearly and translate industry terminology into nontechnical language for non-GIS professionals.
You're able to juggle many competing tasks and meet deadlines under pressure.
You have a keen eye for detail, experience working with large datasets, and can create order out of what seems like chaos.
You're creative and proactive – you notice inefficiencies and seek ways to solve them.
You have experience or are comfortable working with federal agency data, state data, private data, or data that spans multiple states and jurisdictions.
You have a background in field data collection and methods.
You have experience with ecological, hydrologic, natural resource, and/or cultural data.
You're organized, hardworking, collegial, and good at building colleague relationships.
You have an interest in environmental conservation.
Note that experience includes lived experience, traditional knowledge, volunteer experience, school or coursework, work experience, and other related qualifications, skills, and experience.
No candidate will meet every requirement. If you're excited about the position and think you may be a good candidate, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.

Description
Unite America seeks a Vice President, People & Operations . This senior executive role is a unique and timely opportunity to join a leading national, nonpartisan democracy reform organization and 25-person team that is poised to make a scalable, sustainable, and significant impact on the U.S. electoral system. The role will be primarily responsible for acquiring, developing, and retaining top talent to advance the organization’s mission, cultivating a high performing team culture and effective organizational practices that prioritize our shared values, and overseeing all operations functions, including legal and finance. The Vice President, People & Operations reports to the Executive Director and currently manages a team of three full-time staff as well as multiple contractors and vendors.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving the nation’s major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 25-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized tens of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in New York City, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “ primary problem ;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
THE ROLE

Support and develop managers, equipping them with standardized frameworks (e.g. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team ) and utilizing best practices in leadership excellence.
Identify key performance indicators for the organization's human resource and talent management functions; assess the organization's success and market competitiveness based on these metrics.
Research, develop, and implement competitive compensation, benefits, performance appraisal, and employee incentive programs.
Identify and implement new Human Resource processes, technologies, and systems to improve and streamline organizational processes and use of staff time and financial resources.
Collaborate with departmental and executive leadership to draft and implement the organization's staffing and operations budgets.
Ensure that departmental decisions and project plans such as those for staffing, professional development, organizational structure, hardware acquisitions, and facilities are in line with the organization’s objectives and long-term strategy.
Promote Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) practices throughout the employee lifecycle, ensuring awareness and appreciation of underrepresented perspectives and training on equitable processes.
Manage three full-time staff as well as multiple contractors and vendors responsible for finance and accounting, legal and compliance, information technology, facilities management, and various other operationally-related accountabilities.
Ensure compliance with employment, benefits, insurance, safety, and other applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and requirements; maintain knowledge of best practices in employment law; consult with Unite America’s legal counsel when needed.
Think one step ahead in regards to legal liability, risk management, threats to the organization, etc.

This senior executive role is a unique and timely opportunity to join a leading national, nonpartisan democracy reform organization and 25-person team that is poised to make a scalable, sustainable, and significant impact on the U.S. electoral system. The role will be primarily responsible for acquiring, developing, and retaining top talent to advance the organization’s mission, cultivating a high performing team culture and effective organizational practices that prioritize our shared values, and overseeing all operations functions, including legal and finance. The Vice President, People & Operations reports to the Executive Director and currently manages a team of three full-time staff as well as multiple contractors and vendors.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving the nation’s major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 25-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized tens of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in New York City, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “ primary problem ;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.

Title: Senior Vice President, Community & Civic Engagement
Department: Community & Civic Engagement
Status: Exempt
Reports to: President
Positions Reporting to this Position: Vice President, Building Grassroots Power; Vice President, Civic Engagement; Community & Civic Engagement Associate
Location: Flexible
Union Position: No
Job Classification Level: M-V
Salary Range (depending on experience) : $140,000-$250,000
General Description :
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections. Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. The SVP of Community & Civic Engagement (CCE) oversees grassroots community organizing, civic engagement and democracy strategies and ensures that we create a multiplier-effect with other LCV and LCV Education Fund strategies.
Civic Engagement: Over the last twenty years, LCV Education Fund has developed one of the most effective nonpartisan voter participation programs in the nation. We pioneered tools such as membership list enhancement, and we continue to lead in areas such as mobilization, profiling and modeling, issue ID, control group testing and high-end analytics. We are externally recognized for our leadership in the space, such as the most recent Independent Voter Registration Report where LCVEF was ranked the most efficient program in the nation—with an 83 percent rate of successful registrations—for the third consecutive election cycle. Through our national vote-by-mail, voter registration and GOTV efforts, we have become the leading pro-climate group working to encourage under-represented communities to participate in elections. LCV increasingly plays a major role in pro-democracy ballot measures that reduce barriers to voting at the state and local level. Even outside the pro-climate community, we are one of the largest players in the civic engagement space, with a focus on increasing involvement of communities of color and young people in the democratic process. LCV launched a Candidate Recruitment and Training Program, with the ambitious goal of transforming who is a part of our government and making our boards, commissions and elected offices more reflective of the racial and ethnic diversity of our country. We are working to ensure that the people who have been systemically locked out of these roles have the tools and knowledge they need to effectively represent our communities and stand up for all of us.
Community Organizing: Over the last eight years, LCV and LCVEF have expanded our focus on grassroots community organizing, particularly with communities of color who are disproportionately impacted by environmental racism and climate change and excluded by decision makers. Our Chispa program operates in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada and Texas to grow grassroots leadership from low-income Latinx families. Chispa’s Clean Buses for Healthy Niños campaign has pressured local, state and federal decision makers to switch their dirty diesel school buses to electric buses that protect children’s health and improve air quality. Other organizing programs across the Conservation Voter Movement work with Black, indigenous, rural and other communities to ensure that those who are most impacted have the collective voice and power to influence change.
This position requires an intensely creative and strategic thinker who can draw on years of organizing, issue campaign and civic engagement experience and who is focused on building a grassroots base that can urge decision-makers to take unprecedented bold action to expand our democracy and confront climate change. As an Executive Team member, the SVP of Community & Civic Engagement (CCE) contributes to the successful operation of the entire organization. The SVP of CCE is responsible for developing and maintaining a departmental culture that is inclusive, agile, collaborative, modern, transparent, and supportive of staff and partners.

Engage with the organization’s Board of Directors on civic engagement and community organizing priorities, and provide staff support to relevant board committees.
