Coordinator

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone Partnership (CFYP) Coordinator is an independent contractor position, working largely from home. The Coordinator is the chief point of contact for CFYP, which consists of two watershed groups and the CFYP Board of Directors. The two watershed groups have separate strategic committees and meet with separate memberships, currently on a monthly basis. The CFYP Board meets every 6- to 12-months and has standing committees that require Coordinator support on a monthly basis. The foregoing will include though not be limited to: 501(c)3 bookkeeping and reporting for grants and general finances; support of 5-year Strategic Plan, Communications and Outreach Plan, Bylaws and similar CFYP documents; keeping of all corporate files including membership rosters, marketing and outreach information; support of Annual Meeting; and, other CFYP tasks as assigned.
The Coordinator position offers a flexible work schedule that is influenced by project requirements and available funding. The Coordinator must be self-directed, able to travel within Carbon County using a personal vehicle and attend evening meetings. The Coordinator must be able to work with diverse audiences to develop, implement and coordinate watershed based projects from initial grant application to final report. The position involves working with youth, diverse landowners and state and local agencies to provide natural resource education and outreach programs. The work requires a positive attitude combined with sound writing, research, analytical, organizational and interpersonal skills. Experience and familiarity with watershed stakeholders and issues in Carbon County is preferred.
The Coordinator position is supported financially by grants and donations, based on successful applications prepared by the Coordinator and CFYP’s two watershed groups, CFYP and its Board. Identifying and pursuing grants and donations is an important responsibility of the Coordinator, since CFYP cannot otherwise fund the Coordinator position.
