Position Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council (Council) works to protect and restore the ecological health of the Middle Fork Willamette watershed while strengthening the communities that depend on it. Through collaborative partnerships, science-based restoration, outdoor education, and community engagement, the Council advances solutions that benefit both the landscape and the people who live and work within it.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director serves as the chief executive of the organization, providing strategic leadership, organizational management, and external representation for the Council. Working in close partnership with the Board of Directors and staff, the Executive Director guides the organization\u2019s vision, priorities, and long-term sustainability while fostering a collaborative and inclusive organizational culture.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director is responsible for leading a small, dedicated six-person staff team, overseeing an annual budget ranging from $700,000-$1 million over the last couple of years, and ensuring the effective implementation of the Council\u2019s programs and strategic goals. The position requires a leader who can balance strategic thinking with practical execution, cultivate strong relationships with partners and funders, and represent the Council within regional collaborations and the broader watershed restoration community. The Executive Director reports to the Council\u2019s Board of Directors through the Board President and Executive Committee and serves as a key ambassador for the organization\u2019s mission, strengthening partnerships with community members, Tribes, agencies, nonprofits, and regional networks working to support the long-term health of the Middle Fork Willamette watershed.<\/p>\n
