The Inland Northwest Land Conservancy (INLC) is seeking a highly motivated Little Spokane Preserve Manager to join our stewardship team. This is a part-time position to start, with a clear pathway to full-time work beginning January 1, 2027 — making it an exceptional opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in hands-on land conservation.
In the first phase of this role, you’ll focus on managing INLC’s owned lands in the Little Spokane River corridor: leading habitat and capital improvement projects, managing our native plant nursery, coordinating volunteers and conservation crews, and building relationships with Tribal nations, agency partners, and the broader conservation community.
Beginning in 2027, the position may expand to a full-time position and include private lands stewardship — conducting annual monitoring visits to conservation easement properties, building trust-based relationships with easement landowners, and helping defend the conservation values INLC has committed to protect in perpetuity. This work is relationship-intensive and documentation-focused; you won’t be managing those properties directly, but you’ll be a critical link between INLC and the private landowners who are our partners in conservation.
Like all positions at INLC, this role will evolve to fit the needs of conservation and stewardship in our region. The ideal candidate is mission-driven, adaptable, and excited about growing with the organization.
