About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit founded in 2015 that is focused on advancing ecosystem restoration through scientific research, financial innovation, and collaborative partnerships. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in a broader set of asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is made up of an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance, and communications professionals committed to the mission: “To accelerate ecological restoration through conservation finance, enabling climate resilience for ecosystems and communities”. Employees at Blue Forest are:
Committed to Continuous Learning
Driven by Collaboration
Thoughtful Innovators for Impact
Ground in Science
Passionate about Restoring Earth’s Ecosystems
As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are seeking to amplify and collaborate with those historically excluded in conservation finance. We recognize that a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization is not only vital but also a key driver of strength, resilience, and success.
Position Summary
The Utility and Corporate Engagement Senior Manager or Director leads Blue Forest’s beneficiary engagement strategy across the company’s conservation finance project portfolio. Project beneficiaries vary across geographics and project types, but they primarily include: water, electric and hydroelectric utilities, private companies with environmental stewardship goals, and local and state governments. This role focuses primarily on fostering long-term relationships with utility and corporate beneficiaries built around common goals of sustainability, risk management, and nature-based solutions that align with ecosystem resilience. As a champion for Blue Forest and our projects, this role will focus on delivering on contracts with key beneficiaries to close funding gaps, create long-term landscape stewardship arrangements, and enable conservation finance projects that promote ecosystem resilience.
The primary workstreams of this position are identifying potential project beneficiaries, developing relationships with those beneficiaries, identifying and articulating the benefits of ecosystem restoration that align with beneficiary priorities, and communicating the value proposition of conservation finance as a way to bring those benefits to fruition. This role will be responsible for building and maintaining beneficiary relationships throughout the entire project development process, including being responsive to beneficiary requests and questions while coordinating with the finance, project development, and science teams to ensure beneficiary needs are being met.
Beyond project-specific beneficiary engagement, this position will also spend time engaging with regional and national trade utility trade organizations, presenting at conferences, and developing beneficiary engagement communications materials to position Blue Forest as a leader in this space. A minority of time will be spent collaborating internally on strategic questions around project prioritization and longer-term policy and communications plans for improving the beneficiary engagement process.
The ideal candidate is someone who has worked for or with utilities and/or private companies on contracts and partnerships, especially related to sustainability goals or risk management. A strong candidate will have excellent relationship management and sales skills, strong executive presence, and the ability to work independently and strategically to be responsive to beneficiary needs.

Gather and share insights from beneficiary conversations with the science team to inform new tools and models that need to be developed and with the finance team to identify how financing can be most valuable to utilities and private companies
Create and manage a shared database and catalog of key contacts and project information

What We Can Achieve Together:
The growing field of Planetary and Human Health studies the interconnection between the health of the environment and the health of people. Planetary health is a multidisciplinary field that emphasizes the interconnectedness between human health and the Earth's natural systems. It goes beyond traditional public health approaches by recognizing the critical interdependence between human well-being and the environment.
We invite applicants from a variety of disciplines working at the nexus of environmental and human health, particularly those doing solutions-oriented research around topics such as:
Climate change & health, to understand opportunities for equitable mitigation and adaptation solutions that reduce health burdens associated with climate changes, e.g., extreme heat, fire, floods, and other disasters, or vector-borne disease.
Nature, health and well-being, to understand the contributions of nature to people and communities, such as the biophysical or psychosocial health benefits of greenspace, wilderness, and environmental stewardship.
Interactions of climate, biodiversity, and health, for example how biodiversity loss and land cover changes increase vector-borne disease, and conservation strategies that target co-benefits among climate action, conservation, and human and animal health
Indigenous and local community approaches to environmental health and wellbeing, including relational approaches to healing and care, as well as the cultural and nutritional value of customary food resources.
Pollution & health, to better understand how point, non-point and transboundary sources of pollution and environmental contamination affect water (storm runoffs, sewage pollution, agricultural nutrient contamination etc.), air quality (e.g. wildfire smoke exposure, industrial pollution, windborne sediment from desertification), soil contamination, and implications for wildlife and human health, and environmental justice.
The Planetary Health Scientist will join the Human Dimensions Science Team (one of 5 science lines in the GST), and report to the Global Director of Human Dimensions Science. The Scientist will develop and lead research priorities and strategies in the areas of planetary and human health, in coordination with the One Conservancy Science plan to help achieve the Conservancy's 2030 goals. Additionally, the Planetary Health Scientist will provide guidance and support in their areas of expertise, work and navigate across internal programs, build and manage a diverse team, and collaborate with philanthropy staff and leadership to persuasively convey the science-based mission of TNC. Other duties will include working with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement strategies and programs that integrate planetary and human health science with on-the-ground conservation efforts, and communicating and engaging with both internal and external audiences.
We’re Looking for You:
The ideal candidate will have an advanced degree (e.g., PhD, MD, DVM, DrPH) in an area related to human and environmental health. Additional degrees such as master of public health (MPH), masters in environment and sustainability (MS), or masters of health science (MHSc) will be relevant and valued. Strong research methodologies that include epidemiology, environmental health sciences, spatial mapping, real-world data applications, implementation science, global health, environmental justice, and public health are welcome. Some science leadership experience, for example on proposal reviews or technical committees, considering science prioritization agendas, is a plus. The Planetary Health Scientist should also have experience working collaboratively, including with those possessing diverse cultural experiences, and will be keen to contribute to TNC’s effectiveness as a science-based organization and to accelerate our progress towards our 2030 goals.
We value additional relevant research or practitioner training, such as a Master’s of Public Health (MPH), Master’s of Health Science (MHSc), Master’s in Environmental Science or Sustainability (MS), or a closely related field. Ideal candidates will have clinical or other field experience working with interventions and outcomes, bringing a practical perspective to our research efforts. Multi-cultural or cross-cultural experience is highly desirable, as is experience working on inter- and/or trans-disciplinary research teams. Familiarity with contemporary issues surrounding planetary health, planetary boundaries, One Health, and other allied fields, both globally and regionally, will set you apart. We seek individuals with a depth of experience collaborating with health agencies and/or non-profit organizations in various locales, demonstrating an ability to navigate diverse environments and stakeholders. Experience with sample selection, research instrument development, and data collection is essential. Proficiency in managing and analyzing quantitative and mixed-methods research data, as well as statistical analysis, is crucial.
The applicant will play an active role in building a team and leading the Planetary Health effort at TNC, including strengthening the connection between the Global Science Team and other business units who are deepening their engagement in health research.

The Planetary Health Scientist will develop high-leverage strategies for funding research, they lead and participate in research projects, develop collaborative relationships outside of TNC, and provide thought leadership to the field. Scientists at this level play strong leadership roles in TNC and often represent their work to colleagues at all levels of the organization, including executive leadership. The Applicant may also be required to develop and implement processes for identifying research priorities and how to focus external scientific resources on those priorities.
What You’ll Bring:
Advanced degree in a health-related research field (e.g., PhD, MD, DVM, DrPH).
Familiarity with contemporary issues surrounding planetary health, planetary boundaries, One Health, and other allied fields globally and regionally.
Experience reviewing and synthesizing relevant scientific literature.

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 work environment and encourages people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ, and people with disabilities to apply.
POSITION SUMMARY
Reporting to the Senior Staff Attorney, the Homeownership Project Administrator plays a critical role in VIP’s tangled title project. Clients experiencing a tangled title have a legal claim to their home (such as through inheritance) but do not have their name on the deed, preventing them from accessing benefits and services available to homeowners.
The Administrator will provide logistical and administrative support to facilitate volunteers’ resolutions of cases and coordinate with VIP staff to monitor referred VIP cases and propel them toward resolution. The Administrator will also manage the Tangled Title Fund, a City-funded program of well over $200,000 that pays for costs associated with resolving clients’ title issues. Additional duties include coordinating regular dialogue with key legal services agencies that serve tangled title clients. To perform all aspects of this role, the Administrator will develop a basic working knowledge of the key legal issues involved, with attorney support.
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. VIP’s generous benefits include medical and dental insurance (with employee medical premium fully paid by VIP); a 403(b) plan with employer contributions; short-and long-term disability and life insurance; flexible spending accounts for health and dependent care; industry-leading paid time off, including substantial vacation and sick time, 12+ paid holidays, and paid parental leave; an individual budget for professional development; and alternative work arrangements, including generous telework hours and scheduling flexibility. This position is part of a bargaining unit of employees represented by UAW. This position is funded through December 2026 and continued employment is contingent on receipt of funding. VIP is actively seeking to secure further funding.
