Who We Are:
The Nature Conservancy’s mission is to protect the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that we can create a world in which people and nature thrive. We’re rooted in our Mission and guided by our Values, which includes a Commitment to Diversity and Respect for People, Communities, and Cultures. Whether it’s career development, flexible schedules, or a rewarding mission, there’s lots of reasons to love life #insideTNC. Want a better insight to TNC? Check out our TNC Talent playlist on YouTube or on Glassdoor .
Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that all our colleagues around the globe feel a sense of belonging, and that their unique contributions to our mission are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our Mission by hiring and engaging a diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we work. In addition to the requirements in our postings, we recognize that people come with talent and experiences outside of a job. Diversity of experience and skills combined with passion is a key to innovation and a culture of inclusion! Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote myriad TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
Latin America is home to 40% of the world’s species, a third of its freshwater, a quarter of its forests and 25% of arable land. Its forests are essential to the health of our warming planet, and its lands provide 16% of the world’s food and agriculture exports. Functional ecosystems are the engine of Latin America´s economic growth and play a pivotal role in meeting global demand for food, water and energy. Simply put, there is no place more important for plant and animal diversity, climate regulation and the global economy than Latin America. But Latin America is at a turning point. Climate change, biodiversity loss, alarming deforestation and over exploitation of oceans and watersheds are straining these critical natural systems. This is why The Nature Conservancy is driving systems innovation strategies to mainstream the role of nature in socio-economic sustainable development for the region. Our work in Latin America is projected to significantly contribute to TNC’s 2030 overall goals: they anticipate meeting 50% of TNC’s overall climate goal, 22% of the lands goal, and 25% of the freshwater rivers goal.
The Nature Conservancy works in 9 countries across Latin America. We have the experience, knowledge and partnerships needed to develop, implement, and scale strategies that reconcile sustainable development with conservation. Our science shows us that this decade (2020-2030) offers a window of profound opportunity to change course and achieve a more sustainable future for people and nature.
For more information on both TNC and the Latin America region, please refer to The Nature Conservancy’s website www.nature.org .
What We Can Achieve Together:
We are seeking an entrepreneurial, dynamic Director of Development (DOD) for Latin America to join our team, a senior leader position within TNC. The DOD will lead our fundraising work in collaboration with other team members across TNC globally and in the region. They will lead the design and implementation of our revenue strategy to unlock conservation and sustainable development at a scale that really matters. Having created comprehensive, science-based strategies for each of our priorities, our opportunity and challenge now is to design the enabling conditions to unleash systems change approaches building on almost 60 years of experience, leveraging our work on policy, markets, and innovative finance.

Who We Are:

Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that all our colleagues around the globe feel a sense of belonging, and that their unique contributions to our mission are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our Mission by hiring and engaging a diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we work.

To quote myriad TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
Latin America is home to 40% of the world’s species, a third of its freshwater, a quarter of its forests and 25% of arable land. Its forests are essential to the health of our warming planet, and its lands provide 16% of the world’s food and agriculture exports. Functional ecosystems are the engine of Latin America´s economic growth and play a pivotal role in meeting global demand for food, water and energy. Simply put, there is no place more important for plant and animal diversity, climate regulation and the global economy than Latin America. But Latin America is at a turning point. Climate change, biodiversity loss, alarming deforestation and over exploitation of oceans and watersheds are straining these critical natural systems. This is why The Nature Conservancy is driving systems innovation strategies to mainstream the role of nature in socio-economic sustainable development for the region. Our work in Latin America is projected to significantly contribute to TNC’s 2030 overall goals: they anticipate meeting 50% of TNC’s overall climate goal, 22% of the lands goal, and 25% of the freshwater rivers goal.
The Nature Conservancy works in 9 countries across Latin America. We have the experience, knowledge and partnerships needed to develop, implement, and scale strategies that reconcile sustainable development with conservation. Our science shows us that this decade (2020-2030) offers a window of profound opportunity to change course and achieve a more sustainable future for people and nature.

National Wildlife Federation
MISSOULA, MT; or SEATTLE, WA
Founded in 1936, the National Wildlife Federation has grown into America's largest and most trusted grassroots conservation organization with 53 state/territorial affiliates and more than six million members and supporters. The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in our rapidly changing world. The National Wildlife Federation believes that in order to save wildlife and ourselves, we need to ensure that everyone in America has clean air and water, safe communities, easy and equitable access to the daily benefits of nature, and protection from the ravages of climate change. These basic needs, equally necessary and urgent for all people, are foundational to bringing the conservation movement and ethos into the 21st century.
Our organization operates from offices across the country, including our headquarters in Reston, Virginia; a National Advocacy Center in Washington, D.C.; and seven regional centers.
