The Southeast Wisconsin Conservation Collaborative (SEWCC) is a place-based endeavor that emerged in 2024, when multiple conservation partners in the region came together to identify opportunities for a deeper and more collaborative community impact. A commitment to building networks, capacity and influence within communities to implement conservation practices and protect the unique landscape of the Kettle Moraine region of southeast Wisconsin.

The initiative will succeed with the equivalent of a community organizer to foster and lead the evolution of efforts through input from traditional and non-traditional entities to create a landscape-scale collaboration with clear goals and strategies. This new Coordinator position will play a key role in helping shift this emerging landscape partnership from vision to collective action.

The partnership is seeking its first Coordinator, who will have the opportunity to shape the role as a guide for partners and community members towards collective impact in the Southeast Glacial Plains region of Wisconsin, with a focus on the Southern Kettle Moraine area. The Coordinator will work creatively with partners to implement landscape-scale, community-led conservation efforts in the region for years to come. An outward and inclusive focus is required to expand the partnerships, include community at all levels, and welcome interested parties.

This new position will engage a broad range of community leaders and partners to provide critical support for this community-based effort by providing prioritization strategies, process mapping and critical capacity; ensuring alignment and catalyzing action towards collective goals. Increasing knowledge, capacity, and efficient delivery of conservation efforts in the region is achievable. A Steering Committee, built through the partner network, will provide direction, as well as technical, financial, and other assistance to support the Coordinator in this effort.

This position is fully remote, with frequent travel required within southeast Wisconsin. Preference that the candidate lives within the Southern Kettle Moraine region or within an hour radius of Eagle, WI.
