Arbor Day Foundation

Job Description

 

Are you a force for good? Does the opportunity to devote your talents to a cause much greater than yourself excite you? Are you a connector and convener that would enjoy sharing the impact of trees in higher education, healthcare, and K-12 settings? The Arbor Day Foundation is a place where you can do work that matters, with people who care. As we say at the Foundation: life is short, love where you work.

As one of the world's largest conservation organizations, the Arbor Day Foundation inspires people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. We help others understand and use trees as a solution to global issues (like air quality, water quality, climate change, deforestation, poverty, and hunger) that are critical to survival.

The Arbor Day Foundation is seeking a Program Manager to join our growing programs team. The Program Manager will lead the growth and development of the Foundation’s Tree Campus Higher Education, Tree Campus Healthcare, and Tree Campus K-12 programs.

You Have:

  • Passion. For the Foundation’s mission, nature, environmental stewardship, and people.
  • Experience. You have a proven track record of managing strategic relationships and have found success in expanding a program’s reach and impact.
  • Demonstrated interest in building and nurturing relationships. You are attentive to those around you and enjoy connecting and convening people and organizations around a common purpose.
  • A to do list for your to do list. You have high attention to detail and can prioritize leadership of multiple program priorities.
  • Ambition. Motivated to solve open-ended problems and accomplish annual growth goals and objectives autonomously and as part of a team.
  • A “Can do” attitude. You are always willing to help and serve others and uphold service excellence.

You Will:

  • Own the growth strategy. Plan & deliver on your annual programmatic reach and impact goals.
  • Collaborate with multiple teams. Collaborate with program operations and marketing & communications teams to carry out network-facing communications and marketing opportunities to compel program leaders to commit to program standards and improve campus tree programs.
  • Be the trusted contact to program participants. Communicate through regular outreach and anticipate the needs of participants while maintaining knowledge of the Foundation's network and industry trends to connect participants with external resources and expertise.
  • Identify and cultivate new strategic partnerships. Grow the impact and reach of the Tree Campus programs by identifying mutual priorities.
  • Be a presence for the Foundation. When applicable, propel the impact of our work through travel to industry conferences and seek presentation and networking opportunities that create exposure to the Tree Campus programs among new audiences. (15-20% travel required with this role.)

Love Where You Work:

  • We're in this together. A culture focused on a genuine interest in the wellbeing of others, collaboration, and the intrinsic shared purpose to do what's right. We pride ourselves on the culture we've built. We love it, and we know you will too.
  • We care about your health. We offer competitive healthcare (health, dental, vision) coverage for you and your loved ones matched with a wellness incentives program.
  • We invest in your future. Company paid short-term and long-term disability, paid parental leave, life insurance and 401k with company match are available.
  • We know the little things matter. Team members receive a monthly parking stipend, a fully stocked kitchen, and access to a plethora of benefits at Arbor Day Farm.
  • We care about your growth. We allocate 40+ hours annually for our team members to focus on learning and development.
  • We want you to unplug when needed. We believe in taking your time off without guilt, including the week between Christmas and New Years that we close our Lincoln Campus to recharge.
  • We'll round out the experience. We put our culture first, and we host events and experiences throughout the year to show that we care about you (and your family).
