    Who We Are

    Hunting is an ancient tradition passed down from the earliest times of man to the present day. Hunters participate directly in the natural world and care enough to make sure that it continues in all of its awesome beauty and diversity.

    Safari Club International is a U.S.-based organization of more than 50,000 hunters and nearly 200 chapters worldwide, dedicated to protecting the right to hunt and to promote wildlife conservation. Between SCI and its sister organization, the SCI Foundation, we have put more than $70 Million on the ground for conservation since 2000. In the U.S. and abroad, hunters are part of a system that keeps the rivers, forests and fields intact and maintains the wildlife.

    Summary

    This position is responsible for overseeing our live and silent auctions at our annual Convention and working with their team to manage inventory of approximately $15 million of tangible and non-tangible (hunts) items. Our Annual Convention is our flagship event, showcasing the largest gathering of hunting outfitters from around the world and leading manufacturers in the outdoor industry. This four-day event includes a member-only trade show with over 900 outfitters, more than 70 seminars and keynote speeches, over 20 live and silent auctions, awards, nightly dinners, and entertainment. Incumbents must maintain professional decorum while resolving problems, working with deadlines, and manage conflicting priorities. The position interacts with employees at all levels of the organization, members, volunteers, and outside vendors, and service providers.

    All applicants should demonstrate an understanding of, and commitment to, hunting as an essential part of biologically sound and ethically responsible international wildlife management. The ideal candidate will have an existing knowledge of SCIs current programs and mission and be passionate about hunters rights.
