Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment.   Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity.   In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems.   Flood-Prepared Communities Pew’s flood-prepared communities initiative works to reduce the impact weather-related catastrophes, such as flood and hurricanes, have on the U.S. economy, communities, and environment through four main policy areas: - Reforming of the National Flood Insurance Program; - Increased investment in mitigation programs and planning to help communities prepare for future floods; - Improved resiliency and durability requirements for new and rebuilt infrastructure in flood-prone areas; and - Promote nature-based solutions like open green space, marshes and mangroves to better protect property and the environment. Position Overview The senior manager is responsible for developing and executing an outreach strategy across ten states to adopt state-wide plans and frameworks that reduce unsustainable development in high risk areas. These plans should incentivize nature-based solutions, and are intended to improve floodplain management along significant portions of the nation’s rivers and coastlines. The senior manager develops relationships with governors, staff policy staff, planners, and mitigation specialists and oversees technical assistance to state planners in the development of state-wide plans. This position works closely with the state campaigns team, research, and government relations support divisions. It is supported by two direct reports, an officer and senior associate, as well as external consultants. This position, at times, works with external stakeholders, and is responsible for representing Pew with external audiences such as media and conferences.

Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment. Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity.  In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems. Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy (“Ocean Legacy”) is a project of Pew which works to protect and conserve some of the Earth’s most important and unspoiled marine ecosystems through the establishment of very large, highly protected marine reserves. In 2006, the Pew Charitable Trusts and several partners launched the Global Ocean Legacy project in an effort to establish the world’s first generation of great marine parks. In 2017, Pew and the Bertarelli Foundation joined forces to form a new partnership, The Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Project, with the goal of establishing the world’s first generation of great ocean parks. Between them, they have helped to obtain designations to safeguard over 8 million square kilometers (3 million square miles) of ocean by working with philanthropic partners, indigenous groups, community leaders, government officials, and scientists. Recognizing that new science indicates we need to protect 30 percent of our oceans, Pew and the Bertarelli Foundation created a new partnership with the goal of increasing the number of fully protected marine reserves from nine to 15 by 2022. Position Overview The senior associate works in partnership with project leadership to develop and implement campaign strategies to achieve the program’s objectives focused on large scale marine protected areas throughout the world. The senior associate works closely with project team members in Washington, D.C.; Tahiti, French Polynesia; Noumea, New Caledonia, and other locations, as well as with Pew staff from conservation science, government relations, communications, finance, and other departments. The position also engages with external entities, including scientists, non-governmental organizations, and local populations.  The senior associate, based in Pew’s Washington, D.C. office, and reports to the manager, Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy with interim reporting to the senior manager, Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.
