Seawall Coalition Florida Resilience Manager
Location: Florida
The Seawall Coalition<file:///C:/Users/mroberts/Downloads/www.seawallcoalition.org> is a nonpartisan group of 60+ elected officials, local leaders, military groups, and businesses that have come together to advocate for national solutions to sea level rise and flooding in our coastal and riverfront communities.
We’re a start-up nonprofit organization with deep donor backing, and we do things differently. We aim to change the game with a singular focus on sea level rise and flooding, a creative approach to finding solutions, and deep analysis and partnerships that leverage existing efforts. We draw on our strength as communicators and practical problem solvers to reach and bring in those that other groups do not, building broad public support for built and nature-based solutions at the local and national level.
Our team is passionate, entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and looking to radically improve how communities around the country adapt to sea level rise and flooding.
Mission of Role
We are looking for an entrepreneurial person who is passionate about our mission and wants to lead our efforts in Florida and develop best-in-class tools and resources our coalition members can use to redefine resilience
A successful leader will represent and grow our coalition in Florida and communicate our value proposition to potential members, partners, and thought leaders; coach coalition members on building more resilient communities; develop tools and resources that can used by coalition members across the country to address sea level rise and flooding, and identify local and state level policy issues of concern to our members and suggest solutions.
We are looking for a quick-witted, entrepreneurial and intellectually curious person to join the team. To succeed here, you'll need to be able to combine creativity with the organizational skills to manage numerous different projects against tight deadlines simultaneously, as well as enjoy engaging with our members and being “on the front lines” of building resilience.
Things happen quickly and to get stuff done here you need to be an enthusiastic team player - a self-starter who can work as a team of one or many and isn't frightened to take risks or try out new ways of doing things.
If you want to work with some of the most talented and passionate people in the space that are all focused on righting the course of tomorrow, you've come to the right place.
