Job Description:

The Campaign Manager oversees all aspects of implementing The Cape We Shape campaign. Cape Cod’s natural systems are under historic pressure and almost 80% of the areas yet to be developed or protected are priority natural resource lands—critical for drinking water, habitat, and resilience. The Cape We Shape campaign highlights the urgency of action to permanently protect these lands and empowers people and organizations to advocate for conservation. The Campaign Manager will play a central role in bringing this vision to life.

The Campaign Manager will organize and mobilize volunteers, coordinate town and regional partnerships, and deliver effective outreach that raises public awareness of Cape Cod’s most urgent land protection priorities. This role blends campaign strategy, volunteer leadership, and project management excellence to support APCC’s goal of accelerating the pace of land conservation across the Cape. The Campaign Manager will report to the Advocacy Director and will coordinate closely with the Director of Education and Outreach and the Communications Specialist.
