As a highly public-facing representative of American Prairie, the Community Relations Manager builds and strengthens relationships with community members, partners, and stakeholders; supports the development of educational and engagement programming; and represents the organization in a wide range of settings. This role works collaboratively with colleagues across departments and serves as a trusted point of connection for individuals and groups interested in learning about and engaging with American Prairie's vision.

Government, Board, and Working Group Liaison (25%) Steward relationships with Advisory board members north of the river, and support their ideas, initiatives, and connections. Serve as liaison to County Commissioners and Conservation Districts north of the Missouri River, providing regular updates and supporting ongoing communication. Serve as the staff liaison for regional working groups, particularly north of the Missouri River. Outreach Events and Public Engagement (20%) Organize, coordinate and facilitate outreach events such as town halls, informational gatherings, or other meetings. Present at events and secure other staff, collaborators, or advocates as participants and presenters. Implement outreach tactics designed to grow awareness and build local advocates for American Prairie's mission. Partnership Development and Collaboration (20%) Identify and pursue opportunities to engage and collaborate with associations, affinity groups, and state agencies on conservation issues or initiatives aligned with American Prairie's goals and objectives. Maintain records through Salesforce. Community Giving and Sponsorship Coordination (10%) Manage the local implementation of community giving strategies, including coordinating sponsorships and donations as the budget allows. Maintain relationships with community partners receiving support and recommend giving opportunities to the Director of Community Outreach.

QUALIFICATIONS
