The Director will develop and oversee targeted communications plans for each regional initiative, as well as consistent messages for the broader western WLFW effort, geared specifically to engaging agricultural audiences. Director will be able to work remotely as an independent contractor of Pheasants Forever, with daily instruction and leadership provided by NRCS’ Western WLFW Lead. Successful applicant will supervise two part-time WLFW communications specialists as well as as-needed communications contractors, and work collaboratively with WLFW’s national, state, and field-based NRCS staff, partner organizations’ staff, and scientists. Successful applicant will work from home with some travel (~20% after COVID subsides).
