The Sustainability Office is seeking a full-time Communications and Relationship Manager to advance the story of our work. The position is ideal for someone who brings excellent writing, critical thought, problem solving and the mechanics of fundraising and communications.

Duties include producing and writing communications content across multiple platforms, managing a team of student interns, occasionally acting as a spokesperson for the office, and coordinating fundraising efforts among public, private and individual donors.

The role requires the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines and contributors. Experience in the field of sustainability is preferred, though not required. The manager will work alongside a dynamic team of 11+ faculty/staff and 20+ students advocating for meaningful change across all areas of the University of Utah. The manager will report directly to the Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer and the Director of the Global Change & Sustainability Center, and will coordinate with sustainability professionals and other stakeholders across campus. 

The University of Florida’s School of Forest Resources and Conservation is searching for a new coordinator for Florida’s successful Project Learning Tree (PLT) program (http://sfrc.ufl.edu/plt), an existing national environmental education program that offers instructional resources and professional development for teachers and non-formal educators. The coordinator will work with industry, agency, and education partners to recruit, train and manage a network of approximately 100 volunteer facilitators who lead educator workshops; attract and manage financial resources; work with a state advisory committee, SFRC staff and faculty, coordinators of other SFRC programs, and national organization; develop and update program materials; manage an awards program for volunteers and educators; coordinate conferences and events; and supervise staff and student employees. This individual will implement a strategic plan to develop PLT educator programs (such as PLT Schools and PLT EE Centers) to meet needs in Florida and assess their effectiveness. The position is based in Gainesville, Florida and will require some state and national travel. Over time, we anticipate the coordinator will be able to contribute to several Extension programs offered at SFRC.
