Virginia Agriculture Projects Coordinator

About the Alliance:
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay (Alliance) is a regional nonprofit organization whose vision is clean streams and rivers flowing through resilient landscapes, cared for by the people who live, work, and play in the Chesapeake Bay watershed; and whose mission is to bring together communities, companies, and conservationists to improve our lands and waters. The Alliance was founded in 1971 and has offices in Annapolis, MD, Lancaster, PA, Washington, D.C., and Richmond, VA.

Job Description:
The Virginia Agriculture Projects Coordinator is a fast-paced full-time position working under the supervision of the Virginia Agriculture Projects Manager. The successful candidate will work directly with farmers and a diverse set of project partners on water quality and climate change mitigation projects, community engagement, riparian and upland reforestation efforts, and more. The Coordinator will also provide strategic support for the Alliance’s broader Agriculture & Forests Programs efforts. Substantial outreach work to farmers and fieldwork (approximately 60%) of the time) is necessary, and, thus, field-savviness is integral to this position.
