Administrative Director, Development
Natural Resources Defense Council
New York, New York
(This position may be based in Chicago.)
Launched in 1970 at the forefront of the environmental movement, NRDC is the nation’s most effective environmental advocacy and action organization.
NRDC has more than 600 scientists, lawyers, and policy advocates in the U.S., China, and India collaborating in a myriad of large and small ways to protect the environment. NRDC helped to create our nation’s environmental laws, and has protected communities in every state. Today, NRDC is helping build a new movement that will mobilize and unite lawyers, scientists, community and business partners, NRDC members, and activists to advocate for laws and policies that will protect our environment far into the future.
While today’s political climate is fraught with numerous attempts to rollback many of the environmental protections NRDC helped establish over nearly 50 years, the organization continues to use its unparalleled legal, scientific, and policy expertise to defend these safeguards and spearhead solutions to the most critical environmental threats to the planet’s ecosystems and human health. Thus, NRDC is positioned like never before to confront these new dangers with integrity, honesty, collaboration, and the unwavering pursuit of fairness, equity, and justice.
As it approaches its 50th anniversary in 2020, NRDC has completed a strategic plan and is laying the groundwork for a large-scale comprehensive fundraising campaign, making a significant investment in growing its fundraising team. This expansion offers a distinct opportunity to join not only this powerful team of dedicated environmentalists, but to also play a meaningful role in advancing this progressive movement.
There has never been a more critical time to join the team that helps create a world where all people have equal access to clean air, clean water, and thriving communities.
