Climate Change Coordinator

The Senior Climate Conservation Associate (SCCA) plays a key role in Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s work to conserve the lands, waters, and wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Working with the Climate Change Coordinator and other GYC staff, the SCCA will help develop and execute GYC programs, campaigns, and projects across the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem that achieve GYC’s climate and conservation goals. Primarily, the SCCA will be responsible for helping develop and implement an ecosystem-wide program to identify priority watersheds as climate refugia, implement low-tech restoration projects, promote community floodplain protections, protect priority streams and rivers in southern Montana through Wild and Scenic Rivers designations, and build community support to address climate impacts to native fish and waters.

The position will also work with the Deputy Director of Conservation and other conservation staff to help develop and shape local, state, and federal policies on these issues. These campaigns are ecosystem-wide, with a portion of the work focused on Montana watersheds.

Applications will begin to be reviewed on December 1, 2022. Submissions are strongly encouraged before then. The position is open until filled.
