Our member organizations work tirelessly on the ground to protect critical habitats, wildlife corridors,&nbsp;farms, ranches, and working forest lands&nbsp;throughout the state. We are committed to fostering cooperation, sharing resources, and advocating for policies that support land conservation efforts in Idaho.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview:<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>ICOLT is&nbsp;seeking&nbsp;a dedicated and organized Program and Operations Manager to oversee the Coalition\u2019s operations and member engagement.

The Program and Operations Manager has a direct impact on the effectiveness of conservation organizations statewide, helping to strengthen collaboration, leverage resources, and advance shared priorities.

ICOLT is committed to helping you develop professionally, and the role is designed to evolve as you gain experience and&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;within the organization. We value employees who are motivated by growth and are willing to take initiative to enhance systems and structures. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about voluntary land protection and eager to contribute to a small organization where their impact is directly felt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the
