Who We Are:
The mission of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is to conserve the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive. Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity and respect for people, communities, and cultures. From a rewarding mission to career development and flexible schedules, there are many reasons to love life #insideTNC. Want to know more? Check out our TNC Talent playlist on YouTube to hear stories from staff or visit Glassdoor.
One of TNC’s primary goals is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that employees around the globe have a sense of belonging and feel that their unique contributions are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work. Recognizing that people bring talent and skills that have been developed outside the scope of a job, we take a holistic approach to recruitment that considers life experience in addition to the professional requirements listed in our postings. Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote a popular saying at TNC, “you’ll join for the mission, and you’ll stay for the people.”
What We Can Achieve Together:
A shift to a regenerative food system—one that supports resilient farms and supply chains, builds thriving agricultural communities, and positions agriculture as a solution to our most pressing environmental threats—requires that all stakeholders, not just farmers, work together to achieve this transformation. By working with local communities and focusing on the role of science and innovation to strengthen food systems, TNC aims to catalyze the implementation of regenerative practices across our portfolio of global foodscapes that can be a positive force for people and nature.
One such group of stakeholders include agricultural retailers, cooperatives, private sector agronomists, and other agribusinesses that producers in the United States rely heavily on for their agronomic inputs, services, and advice. Collectively, these “farmer advisors” are among the most trusted sources of information for producers and are highly influential in farm management decisions. Therefore, farmer advisors and agribusinesses are critical partners in promoting and enabling successful implementation of on farm conservation practices among their farmer customers if we are to reach our water quality and climate related goals.
The Agribusiness Partnership Specialist will network, build, and strengthen relationships with agricultural retailers and agronomists in the Upper Mississippi River Foodscape, which includes parts of northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, southwest Wisconsin and northwest Illinois, to implement Farmer Advisor priority activities and cultivate new business models to drive regenerative agriculture practices within ag retail and to position farmer advisors and agribusiness as a powerful and effective tool for quickly scaling regenerative ag incentive programs and systems.
The Specialist will work within a highly matrixed, multi-disciplinary team, as well as with external partners and staff across the conservancy. In collaboration with and under the guidance of the Iowa Agriculture Program Director and the North America Farmer Advisor Strategy Manager, the Specialist will be responsible for advancing project activities to meet outcomes, identifying and developing key performance indicators, monitoring and measuring progress, communicating information to stakeholders and ensuring all organizational and divisional standards are met. The Agribusiness Partnership Specialist provides technical leadership and support to the North America Agriculture, Iowa, and Upper Mississippi Foodscape teams by assisting, planning and executing projects in service of our programmatic goals, including pilots and collaborative efforts with ag retailers and other farmer advisors. The Specialist may be responsible for managing contracts, tracking budgets and deliverables, producing reports, meeting planning and facilitation, and may serve as the liaison for external partners and TNC staff.
To be successful in this position, the Specialist must be detail-oriented, highly organized, a good communicator and have experience with and/or knowledge of agriculture, agribusiness, farmer networks/engagement, farmer incentives and technical assistance.
This is a 2-year remote position (must be located within the Upper Mississippi River Foodscape with a strong preference for northeast Iowa), with private funding secured through June 2027 (with possibility for renewal). We expect this position to travel up to 50% of their time, primarily in northeast Iowa, SE Minnesota, SW Wisconsin and NW Illinois, with the occasional out of state meeting.
We’re Looking for You:
If you have a passion for conserving and protecting the natural world, addressing climate change and enhancing the sustainability of our food system, join The Conservancy as an Agribusiness Partnership Specialist.
Excellent relationship building and communication skills, ability to self-motivate, creatively problem solve, and to influence without authority are key in this role. Come join TNC and apply today!
What You’ll Bring:
BA/BS degree in conservation, agronomy, sustainability, or a related field and 5 years’ experience in natural resource management, project management or related field or equivalent combination of education and experience;
Experience engaging with agribusiness retailers or other farmer advisors.
Experience negotiating complex agreements;
Experience communicating with the public and/or media both in writing and verbally;
Experience using applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Web Browsers;
Experience with principles of regenerative agriculture practices; and
Experience engaging or collaborating with non-profit organizations, farmers, agribusiness, and/or government agencies.
Valid driver’s license.
What We Bring:
Since 1951, The Nature Conservancy has been doing work you can believe in protecting the lands and waters that all life depends on.

Who We Are:
The mission of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is to conserve the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive. Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity and respect for people, communities, and cultures. From a rewarding mission to career development and flexible schedules, there are many reasons to love life #insideTNC. Want to know more? Check out our TNC Talent playlist on YouTube to hear stories from staff or visit Glassdoor.
One of TNC’s primary goals is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that employees around the globe have a sense of belonging and feel that their unique contributions are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work. Recognizing that people bring talent and skills that have been developed outside the scope of a job, we take a holistic approach to recruitment that considers life experience in addition to the professional requirements listed in our postings. Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote a popular saying at TNC, “you’ll join for the mission, and you’ll stay for the people.”
What We Can Achieve Together:
A shift to a regenerative food system—one that supports resilient farms and supply chains, builds thriving agricultural communities, and positions agriculture as a solution to our most pressing environmental threats—requires that all stakeholders, not just farmers, work together to achieve this transformation. By working with local communities and focusing on the role of science and innovation to strengthen food systems, TNC aims to catalyze the implementation of regenerative practices across our portfolio of global foodscapes that can be a positive force for people and nature.
One such group of stakeholders include agricultural retailers, cooperatives, private sector agronomists, and other agribusinesses that producers in the United States rely heavily on for their agronomic inputs, services, and advice. Collectively, these “farmer advisors” are among the most trusted sources of information for producers and are highly influential in farm management decisions. Therefore, farmer advisors and agribusinesses are critical partners in promoting and enabling successful implementation of on farm conservation practices among their farmer customers if we are to reach our water quality and climate related goals.
The Agribusiness Partnership Specialist will network, build, and strengthen relationships with agricultural retailers and agronomists in the Upper Mississippi River Foodscape, which includes parts of northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, southwest Wisconsin and northwest Illinois, to implement Farmer Advisor priority activities and cultivate new business models to drive regenerative agriculture practices within ag retail and to position farmer advisors and agribusiness as a powerful and effective tool for quickly scaling regenerative ag incentive programs and systems.
The Specialist will work within a highly matrixed, multi-disciplinary team, as well as with external partners and staff across the conservancy. In collaboration with and under the guidance of the Iowa Agriculture Program Director and the North America Farmer Advisor Strategy Manager, the Specialist will be responsible for advancing project activities to meet outcomes, identifying and developing key performance indicators, monitoring and measuring progress, communicating information to stakeholders and ensuring all organizational and divisional standards are met. The Agribusiness Partnership Specialist provides technical leadership and support to the North America Agriculture, Iowa, and Upper Mississippi Foodscape teams by assisting, planning and executing projects in service of our programmatic goals, including pilots and collaborative efforts with ag retailers and other farmer advisors. The Specialist may be responsible for managing contracts, tracking budgets and deliverables, producing reports, meeting planning and facilitation, and may serve as the liaison for external partners and TNC staff.
To be successful in this position, the Specialist must be detail-oriented, highly organized, a good communicator and have experience with and/or knowledge of agriculture, agribusiness, farmer networks/engagement, farmer incentives and technical assistance.
This is a 2-year remote position (must be located within the Upper Mississippi River Foodscape with a strong preference for northeast Iowa), with private funding secured through June 2027 (with possibility for renewal). We expect this position to travel up to 50% of their time, primarily in northeast Iowa, SE Minnesota, SW Wisconsin and NW Illinois, with the occasional out of state meeting.
We’re Looking for You:
If you have a passion for conserving and protecting the natural world, addressing climate change and enhancing the sustainability of our food system, join The Conservancy as an Agribusiness Partnership Specialist.
Excellent relationship building and communication skills, ability to self-motivate, creatively problem solve, and to influence without authority are key in this role. Come join TNC and apply today!
What You’ll Bring:
BA/BS degree in conservation, agronomy, sustainability, or a related field and 5 years’ experience in natural resource management, project management or related field or equivalent combination of education and experience;
Experience engaging with agribusiness retailers or other farmer advisors.
Experience negotiating complex agreements;
Experience communicating with the public and/or media both in writing and verbally;
Experience using applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Web Browsers;
Experience with principles of regenerative agriculture practices; and
Experience engaging or collaborating with non-profit organizations, farmers, agribusiness, and/or government agencies.
Valid driver’s license.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY JUSTICE
Vision ~ Community Safety through Positive Change
The Department of Community Justice (DCJ) is recognized as a national leader in both adult and juvenile community justice. DCJ routinely consults and makes use of evidence-based practices in our program and policy development. The Department's commitment to data-informed decision-making has led DCJ to make smart investments of taxpayer dollars in supervision, sanctions, and services for the county's highest risk and highest need justice-involved individuals. DCJ makes long-term investments in its employees through the provision of education and training. The Department believes that in order to enhance public safety we must work collaboratively with the judiciary, law enforcement, schools, treatment agencies, and the community.
The Department shares information with community members, partners, and staff to keep communities safe by preventing and reducing crime and routinely evaluating which local policies support best practices. DCJ operates 24 hours a day, with nearly 650 regular, on-call, and temporary employees. The Department supervises justice-involved individuals and those defendants requiring pretrial services. DCJ's Juvenile Services Division operates the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Facility and is responsible for youth on formal and informal community supervision.

Serving the Public, Even During Disasters
Every day, Multnomah County staff work together to serve as a safety net for our communities. During a disaster, this safety net becomes even more critical. All County employees have a role in serving the public during inclement weather, natural disaster, or other types of community emergency response. During these emergency responses, while typically there begins with a call for volunteers, county employees may ultimately be reassigned from their current position to a role in the emergency response in order to support the critical needs presented by our communities. For more information, please visit the Disaster Service Worker Information page.

Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time.

30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
