State Director

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is seeking a Massachusetts State Director to lead the State Business Unit and partner closely with TNC’s Northeast Division as we execute on our ambitious conservation goals.

The Nature Conservancy has worked in Massachusetts for more than six decades and protected more than 23,000 acres of crucial natural resources. Today, we proudly represent the ideals of 34,000 members in Massachusetts and more than one million members globally. We work using the best available science and in collaboration with individuals, local communities, businesses, public agencies, and other nonprofit groups. Our work focuses on conserving healthy forests, rivers, estuaries, coastlines, and fisheries in the Bay State, and confronting climate change by working with communities, governments, and nature to reduce and adapt to its impacts.

The State Director supports this impactful work by leading a staff of nearly 32 and a volunteer Board of Trustees, developing new and existing donors, forming partnerships and building a broader constituency for conservation across the state. As a leader in the Massachusetts conservation movement, the State Director plays a primary role in working with partner organizations, government agencies, elected officials and other key decision-makers to build alliances and shared agendas that accelerate conservation outcomes in Massachusetts, across the region, and around the world. The State Director is accountable for the chapter’s success in implementing TNC’s global conservation approach, producing measurable results, upholding organizational values, and developing and maintaining an inclusive workplace culture.
