The Amargosa Conservancy seeks an Executive Director to lead the organization through an important leadership transition while building upon more than two decades of conservation impact across the Amargosa Basin. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will provide strategic, operational, and financial leadership while serving as the organization's primary ambassador, relationship builder, and champion for its mission. The Executive Director will lead a talented staff team, cultivate strong partnerships, strengthen organizational sustainability, and represent the Conservancy with a wide range of constituents, including community members, Tribal Nations, government agencies, elected officials, conservation partners, funders, and supporters.

For more than 22 years, the Amargosa Conservancy has worked to protect the wilds, waters, and communities of the Amargosa Basin through science, stewardship, advocacy, and community engagement. Today, the Conservancy serves as a trusted voice for conservation and a respected partner to local communities, Tribal Nations, scientists, land managers, policymakers, and fellow conservation organizations working to safeguard the future of this remarkable place. Today, the Amargosa Conservancy stands at an exciting moment in its history. With a dedicated staff, engaged board leadership, strong community partnerships, and growing regional influence, the organization is poised for its next chapter.

The Executive Director must be based in Las Vegas or the Amargosa Basin (near Las Vegas, NV or Shoshone-Tecopa, CA), though they will work remotely. The ED will be expected to travel frequently (10-20%) throughout this region.

"We are looking for a leader who is curious, thoughtful, collaborative, and willing to invest in relationships. Someone who understands that lasting conservation outcomes are built through trust, partnership, and a shared commitment to place. Success in the first year will be measured less by launching new initiatives and more by building trust, deepening relationships, learning the nuances of the region, supporting and developing a talented staff team, and helping chart a thoughtful vision for the future. For the right leader, this is an opportunity to steward one of the most remarkable landscapes in North America while building upon a strong foundation and helping define what comes next." — Russell Scofield, President, Board of Directors
