The mission of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is to conserve the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive. Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity and respect for people, communities, and cultures. From a rewarding mission to career development and flexible schedules, there are many reasons to love life #insideTNC.
One of TNC’s primary goals is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that employees around the globe have a sense of belonging and feel that their unique contributions are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work. Recognizing that people bring talent and skills that have been developed outside the scope of a job, we take a holistic approach to recruitment that considers life experience in addition to the professional requirements listed in our postings. Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote a popular saying at TNC, “you’ll join for the mission, and you’ll stay for the people.”
The Nature Conservancy is the world’s leading non-profit organization working on fire issues. We have been working with fire since 1962, when we conducted our first controlled burn. Our approach has evolved from one that was primarily focused on managing our preserves for biodiversity to one that includes developing more equitable policy and funding, supporting the leadership of Indigenous fire practitioners, growing skilled and diverse fire management workforces and helping communities develop ways to live more safely with wildfire.
WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER
Landscapes throughout North America are adapted to fire, and Indigenous Peoples have lived alongside and used fire to steward the land since time immemorial. Today, the relationships between fire and people, and fire and the land, are quite different resulting from a legacy of fire exclusion policy, land use practices and a changing climate. Extreme wildfire events can be devastating with mounting societal costs, and the absence of fire can damage ecosystems and Indigenous cultures. The Nature Conservancy and our partners envision a better future with fire —one in which natural areas are sustained by and ready for fire and communities are empowered and prepared to live with fire.
The Nature Conservancy’s North America Fire program is developing the prescribed fire workforce and expanding the use of proactive beneficial fire to improve the safety of human communities and the health of natural systems. We manage a large and diverse roster of employees, contractors, and volunteers and collaborate with other TNC business units, federal, state, local and Tribal governments, NGOs, and academic partners to increase workforce capacity and put more good fire on the ground in the places where it matters most.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU
The Prescribed Fire Conservation Coordinator will be a part of The Nature Conservancy’s North America Fire program. They will report to the Prescribed Fire Project Manager and will work closely with the Director of Finance and Operations.
The Prescribed Fire Conservation Coordinator will provide administrative, project management and other general assistance to program staff working toward the achievement of the North America Fire program’s fire management goals.

- Assisting with the coordination of trainings, meetings and prescribed fire assignments
- Reviewing the North America Fire program’s tri-weekly newsletter
The Prescribed Fire Conservation Coordinator will not supervise staff but may oversee and direct the administrative tasks of a roster of employees and volunteers. They will be expected to coordinate multiple tasks or projects in a timely manner and with attention to detail and make day-to-day decisions as delegated by the supervisor.
While the core duties of the Prescribed Fire Conservation Coordinator will take place entirely in an office setting, the Prescribed Fire Conservation Coordinator will have the option to receive wildland firefighter training and participate in occasional prescribed burning assignments throughout the United States. On those occasions, the Prescribed Fire Conservation Coordinator may work in variable weather conditions, at remote locations, on difficult and hazardous terrain and under physically demanding circumstances.
