At TNC Maine, the Land Management Team's work is spread across four strategic pillars: Integrity of Ownership, Ecological Management, Equity of Access, and Reciprocal Learning and Networking. We are looking for a collaborative team member to help us manage our conservation easement program and other administrative information systems. This work helps to strengthen and maintain the Integrity of Ownership pillar around our custodial duties as land managers and conservation easement holders, a foundational function of the land management team. Based in our Brunswick office, you'll bring your attention to detail, your understanding of legal language and logic, and your ability to build and maintain records, files, and databases to support a close-knit team of ecological stewards caring for almost 300,000 acres in Maine.
To coordinate the conservation easement program, you'll work with the Director of Land Management and the Land Relations Manager to develop a framework and expectations for monitoring and reporting, and work to address easement or deed restriction issues with regional land managers, legal staff, and landowners. Working with the Land Relations Manager, you will assist in directing the activities of two seasonal employees who complete much of the field monitoring of legal interest sites across the state. You will also help us manage and organize our records, files, and coordinate several other datasets using various software in support of land management activities. These systems are in various stages of development and coordination, and your creative efforts will organize and connect these datasets in existing or new frameworks to enhance transparency and support single sources of truth.
The position requires a basic understanding of natural resources management, knowledge of conservation easement stewardship practices, a strong team ethic, skills in working effectively with landowners, partners, and legal staff, and a commitment to practical solutions to conservation challenges.
The Brunswick office is the dynamic hub of TNC Maine's many conservation programs and is full of passionate and dedicated conservation professionals working together collaboratively and across programmatic areas. The Stewardship Coordinator will be a part of the Land Management team, which consists of land managers with geographic assignments across the state, and reports to the Brunswick-based Land Relations Manager.
