How to Apply for Network Engagement Director - Conservation Finance Network

at Multiplier

🏢 About Multiplier

Multiplier is unique as a nonprofit accelerator that specifically supports innovative projects focused on environmental sustainability and equity, providing infrastructure and strategic support to maximize impact. The Conservation Finance Network (CFN) within Multiplier focuses on expanding innovative funding strategies for land and resource conservation, making it ideal for someone passionate about connecting finance with environmental protection in a networked approach.

About This Role

This role involves actively growing and engaging CFN's practitioner network through outreach, designing initiatives to connect members for shared learning, and managing digital communications (website, social media, newsletter) to increase visibility. It's impactful because you'll directly accelerate conservation efforts by facilitating knowledge exchange and expanding the adoption of effective financing strategies across the network.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve conducting outreach calls with conservation finance practitioners to understand their needs, drafting content for the bimonthly newsletter or social media to share network updates, and planning engagement initiatives for upcoming CFN events like the Boot Camp or Roundtable. You'd collaborate with colleagues on program support while tracking network growth metrics and identifying new stakeholders to connect with the community.
