Birds are powerful indicators of our planet's health, acting as sentinels that warn us of environmental change and inspire action. Audubon works across the Western Hemisphere, driven by the understanding that what is good for birds is good for the planet. Through a collaborative, nonpartisan approach across habitats, borders, and the political spectrum, Audubon drives meaningful and lasting conservation outcomes. With 800 staff and over 1.9 million supporters, Audubon is a dynamic and ever-growing force committed to ensuring a better planet for both birds and people for generations to come.

Position Summary : Audubon's hemispheric Community Building initiatives seek to build bridges - across perspectives, generations, and communities - uniting people across the Western Hemisphere in purposeful action that delivers measurable, lasting impact. The Director of Community Building, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), in close collaboration with Audubon's Community Building leadership and country teams, will be responsible for building initiatives to develop partnerships and provide capacity-building opportunities, tools, and mechanisms to support conservation partners across the region and connect these opportunities with Audubon teams and collaborators in the United States and Canada. Among other responsibilities, the position will be responsible for: collaborating with partners who manage public venues (nature reserves, museums, etc.) to position birds as powerful levers to change individual behaviors towards conservation and establish programmatic exchanges with "sister centers" along hemispheric bird migration flyways; promoting efforts to enhance Audubon's bird-based tourism programming in LAC; connecting Audubon conservation projects in LAC with Audubon's U.S.-based Chapters for programmatic support; building a program to advance next-generation leaders in bird conservation, including university chapters; and working closely with Audubon's Communications team colleagues to raise visibility for bird habitat conservation in LAC. The ideal candidate will be a skilled, experienced manager and a strategic thinker and have a background in working with communities, campaigns, and collaborative, multi-national partnerships. The position reports to the Vice President, Latin America and the Caribbean. Preferred location is Santiago, Chile; Mexico City, Mexico; or Bogotá, Colombia; and other remote locations in these three countries will also be considered. Position is being posted separately in three countries (Chile, Colombia, Mexico), but only one person will be hired. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the country to which they are applying. Only applications submitted with a cover letter will be considered.
