Associate Director, Special Programs
Great River Greening is a leading environmental restoration nonprofit with a mission to inspire, engage, and lead local communities in conserving and caring for the land and water that enrich our lives. Since our start, our small but mighty team has restored more than 50,000 acres of land across Minnesota and aims to restore another 50,000 in the next five years. At Great River Greening we offer flexibility, a friendly work culture, supportive Board of Directors, and opportunities to grow.
Position: The Associate Director, Special Programs reports to the Conservation Director and manages Great River Greening’s programs that operate outside the regional restoration model: Urban & Community forestry and Greening Solutions (fee-for-service). These programs share common characteristics — they are crew-intensive, operationally complex, and require close coordination of field staff, equipment, and scheduling. This role is responsible for ensuring these programs run efficiently, that crews are well-managed and safely deployed, and that the fee-for-service arm operates on a sustainable business model. This position also serves as a bridge between field operations and the broader conservation team, coordinating with regional Program Managers on shared resources and with the Environmental Stewardship department on community-facing programming.
