Location: Remote
As a Conservation Program Manager at Plant-for-the-Planet your most important responsibility will be to develop and oversee partnerships with conservation and restoration programs.
Here you will search for the most effective programs, help evaluate which programs we should partner with, develop the relationships with these programs, assess monitoring data and write impact reports. Your mission is to help ensure that the organisation’s restoration and conservation funds are spent most effectively. An early focus will be on partnership with natural protected areas in Mexico and Ghana. As part of the role, you will also further develop our project standards.
Additional tasks include support with writing grant applications and assessing the available literature to answer ecological questions. Team members will contact you when ecological questions come up in their work.
Most of this work will be done remotely. However, in some cases you may visit projects internationally.

- Master’s or PhD in conservation, restoration ecology, or related field
- 3+ years of experience with forest conservation or restoration project implementation
- Intimate knowledge of conservation and restoration methods and an understanding of landscape restoration approaches
- Experience working with national or international restoration frameworks
