Overview
The Program Coordinator leads the Conservancy’s community engagement program and is responsible for management of the Conservancy’s nature preserves and stewardship of its conservation easements. The Hanover Conservancy is New Hampshire’s oldest local land trust.
This is a regular full-time, 40 hour/week position based at the Hanover Conservancy offices in Hanover NH, reporting to the Executive Director. While the position does not require living within the town of Hanover and staff may work remotely a day or two each week if tasks allow, this is not a role for someone living more than 20-25 minutes away. Hours are staff-friendly and flexible; may include very occasional evening and weekend meetings or events. The position requires the physical ability to visit Conservancy natural areas, including hiking for several miles in rough terrain and any weather. Since all activities take place within the town of Hanover, required travel is minimal.
