🙋‍♀️ About the Role

We’re looking for a part-time Field Marketing Fellow (contractor role) to help us document and protect wildlife across national forests in the Pacific Northwest.

You’ll be supported by our Communications Manager and receive a brand toolkit with all the guidance you need.

  • Capture and deliver monthly content (15-30 photos, 3 short video/reel, and 3 drafted social media post).
  • Act as a brand ambassador: post flyers, build relationships with outdoor partners, and connect with potential volunteers.
  • Share positive conservation and habitat-focused messages online and in person
  • Submit deliverable on time and aligned with our content guidelines (toolkit provided)
