Executive Director - EarthGen

EarthGen is seeking a collaborative and strategic leader to be its next Executive Director, leading our efforts to grow our impact in the years ahead. A Washington State based nonprofit, EarthGen brings locally relevant science-based learning opportunities to students and school communities who are farthest from educational and environmental justice. Because of EarthGen, students all over Washington state are learning about the effects of climate change and other environmental issues on their own communities, taking action, and becoming leaders for change.

Building on a successful decade of growth and measurable impact, EarthGen has a big vision for the future: we will grow EarthGen’s impact in both breadth and depth, so that more teachers and students across Washington will have access to high quality climate-science education and meaningful opportunities to make environmental change. EarthGen is seeking a leader who is inspired by this ambitious vision and shares our commitment to K-12 education and environmental justice.

We are eager to meet with candidates who have strengths in these areas:

• Building strong partnerships across many diverse communities, fields, and sectors
• Strategic thinking and results-based problem solving
• Deep commitment to leading with an equity and environmental justice lens
• Willingness to be a “fearless fundraiser” in support of EarthGen’s mission
• Experience as a collaborative and inclusive team leader, and readiness to lead a thriving nonprofit

Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received. Initial candidate conversations will take place throughout October, in advance of committee interviews in November.

Location: Hybrid work environment with an office in Seattle. The ED may be based anywhere in Washington State, as long as they are willing to spend time regularly in Seattle.

Salary Range: $125,000 to $150,000 depending on experience
