Position: Director of Philanthropy
The Director of Philanthropy is a strategic and hands-on fundraising leader responsible for advancing the Conservancy's philanthropic goals and ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of a dynamic nonprofit organization with an annual operating budget of approximately $2.5 million.
This frontline fundraising role manages a portfolio of major donors and prospects while leading all aspects of the organization's fundraising strategy including annual giving, major giving, planned giving, donor cultivation and stewardship.

Position: Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFO/COO)
The Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFO/COO) is a senior leader, strategic thinker and trusted partner to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), responsible for translating the organization's ambitions into sound financial strategy and effective day-to-day operations. This role requires someone who brings both rigor and judgment — someone who can independently manage complex financial and operational responsibilities while also serving as a steady, candid thought partner to organizational leadership. The CFO/COO directly manages the Accounting and Systems Coordinator (part-time employee) and serves as the primary contact for the Conservancy's HR and IT consultants.
In partnership with the CEO and leadership team, the CFO/COO turns strategy into action by aligning teams, improving systems, harnessing AI and ensuring the organization's operations, finances, and cross-functional work run effectively.
