    Default job background
    Description

    Location:
    Portland, Oregon

    Reports to:
    President, Ecotrust

    Date:
    April 26, 2010
    Summary
    The Vice President, Indigenous Leadership Program is the senior
    staff person developing Ecotrust's relationships with Native American
    and First Nation leaders and their communities in the coastal Pacific
    bioregion from Alaska to California. She/he develops long range and
    annual plans, raises funds, manages Ecotrust's Award for Indigenous
    Leadership, and facilitates Ecotrust support to the growing network of
    awardees.
    She/he is also a member of Ecotrust's senior management team and
    helps develop innovative long range programs designed to improve social,
    economic and environmental conditions throughout the bioregion.
    Over the past eight years, the Ecotrust Award for Indigenous
    Leadership has recognized 39 tribal leaders for their achievements in
    their communities. The Award is endowed with $500,000, part of
    Ecotrust's working endowment, our Natural Capital Fund, and so we expect
    it to continue indefinitely. By 2020 there will be 100 extraordinary
    leaders in the network. The network is a powerful potential catalyst for
    change and deserves much more substantial support than we are currently
    able to provide. Our hope is to grow the endowment to $10 million, the
    income from which would be made available to the leadership network to
    support bioregional initiatives that they believe are important.
    In addition, Ecotrust, Ecotrust Canada, ShoreBank Enterprise
    Cascadia, Shorebank Pacific and a wide array of other partner
    organizations have a broad range of staff, programs and resources that
    could be available to support native initiatives designed by the
    Leadership Network. We have a wide range of experience in community
    banking, enterprise and business development, food and farms, land
    repatriation, fisheries and forest restoration, research, land use and
    occupancy mapping, fundraising, communications and digital publishing.
    Nourishing productive relationships towards tangible outcomes is the
    challenge of Ecotrust native programs.
    Key Objectives
    Organize and administer the Ecotrust Award for Indigenous
    Leadership. Four finalists ($5,000 each) and one awardee ($25,000) are
    recognized each year through a nomination, reading panel and final jury
    panel process culminating in an award dinner at the Ecotrust Natural
    Capital Center in Portland in early December.
    Work with the President, the Vice President for the Natural Capital
    Fund, the Director of Development and the board to help raise an
    additional $9.5 million to increase the award endowment. Raise grants to
    fund the annual native program initiatives.
    Participate in weekly senior management team meetings and translate
    indigenous wisdom, issues and experience to innovate, invest and
    inspire a new, post industrial model of development. Strengthen the
    interactions between the growing network of indigenous leadership and
    related Ecotrust programs and resources.
    Actively communicate internally and externally with leaders, public
    media and communities on program initiatives, funding opportunities,
    and important issues facing indigenous communities here and abroad.
    Requirements
    A good listener who is able to network and build relationships with
    native and First Nations leaders in this region and around the world;
    Clear communications ability with strong interpersonal, team player
    instincts and skills;
    Highly motivated by social justice, environmental restoration and
    conservation, economic opportunity and tribal self-sufficiency and
    governance;
    Ten or more years experience working in native communities;
    A self-starter, strong initiative and ability to work independently
    as well as the larger network of leaders in the bioregion;
    Results-oriented, hard working, long-term professional with a
    willingness to travel some 30% of the time; and
    Management experience with hiring/firing and supervising a small
    staff, budgeting, fundraising, writing, speaking, and interpersonal
    skills.
    The position is full-time, based in Portland, Oregon (possibly
    Vancouver, BC). Salary is competitive, commensurate with experience and
    qualifications, excellent benefits package including retirement plan
    match, medical and dental insurance, flexible spending account; life
    insurance and disability coverage provided.

    letter, resume, and short relevant writing samples to: email
