Staff Positions
Senior Project Manager, Volunteer Services
The Senior Project Manager position is a regular, full-time exempt position based in Seattle leading EarthCorps’ volunteer event management services with the City of Tacoma, as well as other municipalities. EarthCorps’ volunteer program leads volunteers in urban forest restoration tasks including removing invasive weeds, planting native vegetation, and the long-term maintenance of restoration sites. The position involves community outreach; recruitment, training, and coaching of long term site stewards; project development and coordination with city staff; contract management; field leadership of volunteers, overseeing volunteer events and maintaining safety and well-being standards.
Given current restrictions, this position will begin working remotely, with some field work expected. You will be provided with technology and other accommodations to work from home. When it is safe to return to the office, this position will be based at our office in Seattle’s Magnuson Park, with flexibility for some remote work.
We encourage applicants from all racial, ethnic, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and functional limitations to apply, especially those from historically marginalized communities.
Senior Partnerships Manager
The Senior Partnerships Manager is a full-time, senior-level position reporting to the Executive Director. This role will focus on building strategic partnerships with environmental groups, municipalities, schools, and youth serving non-profits, particularly those that are BIPOC-led or focused on serving communities of color. This individual will work collaboratively with key staff to fund partnership efforts through both fee-for-service and philanthropic funding, developing a funding pipeline that supports our work with partners. Examples of partnerships we have previously developed include sending a crew of young adult EarthCorps members to help with creosote debris removal in support of the Samish Indian Nation and providing support for an internship with the Black Farmers Collective. It is our goal to expand and deepen these types of efforts. This role requires strategic thinking, an entrepreneurial spirit and strong collaboration skills.Corps Positions
