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.

Unite America seeks a full-time Partnerships Director. This team member will be responsible for overseeing a significant share of the Unite America investment portfolio; this will include liaising closely with local, state, and national grantees to identify and vet grantmaking opportunities, provide strategic support and accountability, and develop programming and resources to serve our partners’ needs. This position offers the chance to engage in a diversified strategy to win reforms at all levels of government with legislation, ballot measures, litigation, and partners who believe in putting voters first.
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
The Partnerships Director will primarily be accountable for working with Unite America Fund grantees. The Unite America Fund is actively invested in more than 85 organizations working to reform and protect democracy at all levels of government. Our investments include seed grants to start new initiatives, growth grants to win reforms, implementation grants to defend reforms from tampering, and research grants to evaluate impact. We invest in legislative advocacy campaigns, litigation strategies, ballot initiative campaigns, shared infrastructure projects, and national partner organizations. In addition to providing support to our grantees, the role will include building strategic partnerships across our field, stakeholder engagement, and liaising with other Unite America departments to share information and solicit input, including our Advocacy and Movement, Marketing and Communications, Development, and Operations teams.
The Partnerships Director will report to the Sr. Director of Policy and Partnerships. Ideally, the team-member would be based in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but candidates from other geographies will be considered and remote work is a possibility. This is a full-time role with benefits.
The application deadline for this position is December 12th. Applications will not be reviewed until this date. Please contact gillian@uniteamerica.org with any questions.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Direct a subset of the Unite America Fund investment portfolio, including to:
Solicit, review, and diligence potential investment opportunities from new and prospective grantees;

Full time
Unite America seeks a full-time Partnerships Director. This team member will be responsible for overseeing a significant share of the Unite America investment portfolio; this will include liaising closely with local, state, and national grantees to identify and vet grantmaking opportunities, provide strategic support and accountability, and develop programming and resources to serve our partners’ needs. This position offers the chance to engage in a diversified strategy to win reforms at all levels of government with legislation, ballot measures, litigation, and partners who believe in putting voters first.
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
The Partnerships Director will primarily be accountable for working with Unite America Fund grantees. The Unite America Fund is actively invested in more than 85 organizations working to reform and protect democracy at all levels of government. Our investments include seed grants to start new initiatives, growth grants to win reforms, implementation grants to defend reforms from tampering, and research grants to evaluate impact. We invest in legislative advocacy campaigns, litigation strategies, ballot initiative campaigns, shared infrastructure projects, and national partner organizations. In addition to providing support to our grantees, the role will include building strategic partnerships across our field, stakeholder engagement, and liaising with other Unite America departments to share information and solicit input, including our Advocacy and Movement, Marketing and Communications, Development, and Operations teams.
The Partnerships Director will report to the Sr. Director of Policy and Partnerships. Ideally, the team-member would be based in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but candidates from other geographies will be considered and remote work is a possibility. This is a full-time role with benefits.
The application deadline for this position is December 12th. Applications will not be reviewed until this date. Please contact gillian@uniteamerica.org with any questions.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Direct a subset of the Unite America Fund investment portfolio, including to:
Solicit, review, and diligence potential investment opportunities from new and prospective grantees;
Write and present investment recommendations with memos, in 1:1 briefings, and during cross-team meetings;
Provide grantees with strategic support, in-kind resources, and connections to partners and experts;

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.
