Job Description

Do you like telling stories? Do you like saving wildlife, spending time in the woods, or staying current on climate policy? Then this could be the job for you!

The Nature Conservancy is looking for an experienced writer to join the Donor Communications Team in our California Chapter. The Nature Conservancy is a global organization that is finding solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges. We need a storyteller who can work closely with our scientists and conservation leaders to convey their complex work in language that resonates with our major donors, partners, policymakers and other key audiences.

You would be responsible for writing and editing donor communications materials including monthly newsletters, bi-annual Executive Director updates, proposals, reports, fact sheets, and more.
