Program Director

Beaver Institute seeks a Program Director for their keystone program, BeaverCorps. 

The BeaverCorps Training Program offers the only professional, non-lethal beaver management training program where students become experts in beaver wetland management. Training includes the design and proper installation of water control devices, Process-Based Restoration techniques and more. Graduates are certified as Beaver Wetland Professionals. The BeaverCorps Program Director will start at 10 hours a week with the potential to expand within 3-6 months to 20 hours a week. The goal is for the role to be full-time by 2024. 

This is an exciting position primed for a candidate who thrives in administration (spreadsheets, budgets, program management, data collection) but also has creative vision to lead as the program expands. With 54 current participants across the United States and Canada, with the goal to reach 100 by the end of 2023, the Program Director will be crucial in maintaining the quality and capacity of BeaverCorps. 

Additionally, as the position grows, the Program Director will assist in the development and roll out of the Beaver BioBank – an offshoot of BeaverCorps that will quantify the ecological and economic impact of the program on wetland protection including services. 

This position will start at $25-30/hour, contract, and can be performed remotely anywhere in the United States.

 Job will start in January 2023.
