Communications and Engagement Lead
Wildsight protects wild places and builds sustainable communities in BC’s Kootenay-Columbia region. With 40 years of history, we are recognized as a leader in large-scale conservation and environmental education.
As the Communications and Engagement Lead you’ll provide strategic leadership for the communications and engagement team, ensuring cohesive messaging, effective campaigns, strong public presence, and meaningful opportunities for people to engage with Wildsight’s work. You’ll lead the Communications and Engagement team, manage Wildsight’s traditional media profile, work with campaign & program leads to identify and deliver day-to-day communications, content and engagement needs, and steward the Wildsight brand. You’ll lead a team of three focused on communications and engagement (philanthropy and advocacy). The break-down of this job is roughly 20% strategy and planning, 30% team management and content reviews, and 50% delivery of day-to-day communications and fundraising needs.
You will work closely with our campaign teams to plan and deliver communications that lead to wins for the wild. You will join a team that is passionate about protecting nature, dedicated to making positive change and committed to learning and growing.
