Description

~ The Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN)is a rapidly growing leader in wildlife conservation, working in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. ~

WCN uses its collaborative, entrepreneurial, innovative, and philanthropically generous approach to wildlife conservation to reverse crises facing critically threatened species. We partner with distinguished, front-line, independent conservationists who live and work with local communities to champion the survival of wildlife and conserve the habitats they share. WCN supports these entrepreneurial leaders with access to donors and a range of resources and tools they need to be successful.  

Position Overview

With pioneering support from and partnership with the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, WCN has developed a Crisis and Recovery Fund initiative, beginning with the Elephant Crisis Fund (ECF) and the Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) - with the aim of developing additional Funds in the future. These Crisis and Recovery Funds focus on addressing urgent threats to specific wildlife species by driving funding to the best ideas and programs to address those threats. The Crisis and Recovery Funds as well as WCN’s conservation partner network are the key aspects of WCN’s strategy to expand the conservation impact on threatened wildlife.  The Elephant Crisis Fund and the Lion Recovery Fund are featured in WCN’s digital platforms, but they also maintain their own separate website and social media platforms, all of which must be managed by the WCN digital marketing manager.

WCN’s team is a group of dedicated conservationists from diverse backgrounds who value the people and relationships behind conservation as much as the science and strategy to save wildlife. We are looking for an experienced digital marketing professional who, with passion, creativity and savvy, will drive strategy and implementation of WCN’s digital marketing efforts to attract, engage and motivate conservation-minded individuals to support WCN and its partners around the globe.  This position also will drive digital strategy and implementation of the Elephant Crisis Fund and Lion Recovery Fund initiatives, with collaboration from WCN partners. Like all staff, the digital marketing manager will engage with WCN leadership in donor stewardship, strengthening the philanthropic commitment and reach of our donor base.
