In coordination with the Midwest Strategy Directors, the Conservation Program Lead also helps set strategic priorities, reviews Midwest strategies, and allocates resources through TNC’s Portfolio Management process. They play a significant role in donor identification, cultivation, and stewardship. They develop key partnerships with public and private organizations to identify and resolve technical issues; communicate solutions and best practices; and develop innovative scientific methods, analyses, tools, and frameworks to address natural system needs while also engaging with and benefiting local communities through conservation efforts.

About Mercy Corps
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future.
The Team
Mercy Corps works to achieve real and lasting impact in the world’s toughest humanitarian emergencies. We save lives and help people live with dignity in crises of all kinds.
