    Position Summary

    :
    TPL is seeking a dynamic and driven Texas State Director to lead the organization forward into its next great chapter in the state. As one of the largest parks and conservation organizations in Texas, Trust for Public Land leads a wide range of work across the state, including park and trail design and development, city-scale and statewide park and open space planning, acquiring land for conservation purposes, and advancing public policy and funding that benefits parks and conservation. Serving as the market lead for TPL in Texas, the State Director works with the Texas Advisory Board, 8- field staff, and the national organization to execute TPL's vision for Texas: to be a state where every resident can enjoy the joys and wonders of the outdoors.

    Key responsibilities of the position include setting high-level strategy for the organization's trajectory and growth in Texas; securing public and philanthropic funding to support the organization's work; managing a large network of relationships with elected officials, donors, public agencies, and community partners; and delivering on-the-ground results in the form of new parks, conserved land, and other outcomes related to our mission. The role is highly collaborative and requires working closely with the Texas Advisory Board, the Texas State Director of Philanthropy, the Texas field staff, TPL colleagues from various departments located across the country, and a wide range of external partners and stakeholders. The ideal candidate will be highly adept at relationship building and management, leadership, fundraising, and mission delivery.

    The Texas State Director will report to the Vice President of the Mountain West Region and will collaborate on strategic mission delivery with other programs in the region. The Texas State Director leads the Texas team in continually developing, implementing, and evolving local programmatic initiatives that deliver on TPL's mission of creating parks and protecting land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come.

    SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

    % Strategic Vision and Leadership: The State Director is responsible for collaborating with the Texas State Advisory Board to align the state program with TPL strategic priorities, set the state program's vision for its work in Texas, and lead the field staff's implementation of that vision across the state. Working with the Advisory Board, field staff, and colleagues from across the organization, the State Director evaluates new program and program opportunities that create parks, land, trails, and community schoolyards in line with our strategic commitments to health, climate, equity, and community. In all of this work, the development and maintenance of positive relationships with internal staff, key public and non-profit partners, as well as major donors will be paramount. This position collaborates with senior TPL leadership and volunteer leaders in developing and implementing strategies that achieve goals and are compelling and financially viable.

    % Fundraising and Philanthropy: Working in close partnership with Texas State Director of Philanthropy, other colleagues from across the organization, and the Texas Advisory Board, the State Director is responsible for developing and implementing strategies for securing all necessary funding to support the organization's growth, mission and priorities in Texas. TPL's work in Texas is supported through a blend of public and private philanthropic support, with most capital projects supported by public funding sources, and most operational expenses supported through private philanthropy. Key activities include cultivating and soliciting major gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations; stewarding a portfolio of significant donors; and partnering with the Texas State Director of Philanthropy to develop and engage the Texas Advisory Board. The State Director also plays a critical role in securing public funding from local, state, and federal sources, and the position requires the ability to navigate local politics and understand and anticipate trends in public funding.

    % Team Management: The State Director is responsible for supervising 8- field staff, and for creating a positive working environment for the entire office, strong staff morale and a culture of teamwork and mutual support among all staff. The State Director is expected to maintain a work climate which attracts, retains and motivates a diverse staff of top-quality people.

    % External Relations: The State Director will be expected to represent TPL and build the organization's visibility throughout Texas. This position will develop and maintain relationships for the benefit of TPL in the parks/conservation/environmental and philanthropic sectors and among other sectors as needed. Demonstrated existing relationships and ability to cultivate and maintain new ones with state and local elected officials, civic leaders, partner nonprofits, the media, and the philanthropic community.

    % Financial Administration: The State Director is the budget manager for the state program's budget, responsible for working with the Finance team to develop and manage the office budget and taking necessary actions to meet or exceed financial goals.

    Critical Success Factors:
