What We Can Achieve Together:
At TNC Maine, the Land Management Team’s work is spread across four strategic pillars: Integrity of Ownership, Ecological Management, Equity of Access, and Reciprocal Learning and Networking. We are looking for a collaborative team member to help us manage our conservation easement program and other administrative information systems. This work helps to strengthen and maintain the Integrity of Ownership pillar around our custodial duties as land managers and conservation easement holders, a foundational function of the land management team.

The position requires a basic understanding of natural resources management, knowledge of conservation easement stewardship practices, a strong team ethic, skills in working effectively with landowners, partners, and legal staff, and a commitment to practical solutions to conservation challenges.

Organizing and maintaining systems, records, and files in various software systems, including ArcGIS, AirTable, Smartsheet, and Microsoft programs.
Assisting land managers by querying various data systems to provide accurate information.
Ensuring that all aspects of our standard operating procedures (and Land Trust Alliance Accreditation requirements) are adhered to; working with land management staff and legal staff to ensure that any potential violations are dealt with in a timely and professional manner.

Coordinating land manager meetings and logistics including managing the field calendar during the busy summer season.
Coordinating across Land Management staff and interfacing with spatial science staff to coordinate GIS needs and data, including working with our Land Asset Management System staff to support ArcGIS FieldMaps activities for land managers.
Assisting in organizing and managing grant submissions and narrative reporting.
Helping with ecological monitoring and other field projects as needed and as available.
This position:
Is mainly office based with the ability to work in the field as time allows. This may involve some travel throughout the state and require occasional longer days and overnights.
Performs tasks with minimal supervision and makes independent decisions based on analysis, experience, and context.
May work in variable weather conditions, at remote locations, on difficult and hazardous terrain and under physically demanding circumstances.
