About the Midwest Climate and Energy Program:

In 2019, the McKnight Foundation Board of Directors approved a new strategic framework, resulting in a significant expansion in the Midwest Climate and Energy Program (MC&E). Now on track to double from $16 million in 2020 to $32 million by 2022, the program’s goal is to take bold action on the climate crisis by dramatically cutting carbon pollution in the Midwest by 2030.

Recognizing the importance of equity in this goal, MC&E Program envisions a thriving, carbon-neutral Midwestern economy by transforming the energy system through clean power, electrifying transportation and buildings, sequestering carbon on working lands, and strengthening democratic participation.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The McKnight Foundation is seeking two Program Officers advance the work that will bring the MC&E’s ambitious goal to fruition. The new program officers will help to shape and guide the trajectory of the Foundation’s ambitious climate initiatives.

Reporting to the Program Director of Midwest Climate and Energy, the program officers will oversee and build out significant grant portfolios and partnerships with intermediary funders and actively collaborate with McKnight’s Impact Investing team and Vibrant & Equitable Communities program team. The Midwest Climate & Energy program uses its philanthropic funding to support efforts that build power through partnership, aligning climate and equity goals to advance bold action on the climate crisis.

Key Priorities and Responsibilities

Strategic Implementation:

• Manage a portfolio of grants that support transforming the energy system, electrifying transportation and buildings, and sequestering carbon on working lands in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest.
• Develop and maintain relationships with existing grantees and new prospects to learn from current work, explore emerging opportunities, and build new concepts.
• Actively engage with McKnight colleagues in Impact Investing and the board’s Mission Investment Committee to identify and analyze mission and program-related investments that advance program goals.

External Partnerships:

• Manage key partnerships with funding intermediaries and oversee new and expanded investments in and through these partners.
• Convene and collaborate with advocacy organizations (including, but not limited to, those focused on climate justice, environmental protection, democratic participation, and clean energy), foundations, academic institutions, regulators, and policymakers to support cross-sector collaborations that reinforce program goals.
• Serve as a representative of the Foundation in communities of learning and practice, helping to shape the field’s response to and support of carbon reduction.

Thought Leadership and Advocacy:

• Represent the Foundation and the MC&E program to external audiences and provide leadership in our efforts to achieve economy-wide greenhouse gas emission reductions while advancing a commitment to racial equity.
• Serve as a resource on technical and policy issues relating to energy transformation. Track market and political trends to identify high-leverage opportunities for philanthropic intervention.
• Stand as a trusted voice on the interdependence of climate and racial and economic justice.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Candidates must have a minimum of five years of experience in climate and energy issues on a local or national level; previous philanthropy experience is not required. Because the Foundation is filling two Program Officer roles simultaneously, a diverse set of experiences will be considered with the goal of identifying Program Officers with complementary skills.
• McKnight focuses on transforming the energy system, electrifying transportation and buildings, and sequestering carbon on working lands in the Midwest. Candidates who have direct work experience on carbon reduction—generally or specifically—in these areas are of great interest.
• So, too, are candidates who have developed their expertise at the intersection of climate and equity, whether in movement building, running campaigns, grassroots organizing, or related activities.
  Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values at McKnight and integral to how the staff and board approach their work. Fundamental to the MC&E program goal is a belief that structural racism is a barrier to carbon reduction. Candidates must bring lived experience or a demonstrated commitment to addressing climate and energy through a racial equity lens.
  Much of McKnight’s climate and energy work is placed-based, focusing on Minnesota and the six states that comprise the Upper Midwest. Preference will be given to candidates with knowledge of or personal ties to the region and its people. The positions are based in Minneapolis, MN.

Ideal Candidate

• McKnight seeks individuals who demonstrate an unwavering passion for and commitment to solving the climate crisis and addressing racial equity within the context of climate solutions. The Program Officers possess analytical skills and an ability to influence change in highly nuanced contexts. Highly desired are deeply curious and credible climate generalists who bring to the team either technical and policy knowledge of our decarbonization focus or experience in movement-building in climate.
• The Program Officers lead with a strategic mindset and bring a proven ability to identify and translate strategic opportunities into tangible action and outcomes. Strong listening and synthesizing skills are essential, along with the talent and desire to capture, distill, and share what is important, why it matters, and how it relates to the overall strategy. The successful candidate organizes, prioritizes, and switches from strategy development to daily execution with ease, consistently achieving results.
• A capacity to navigate the complexity of diverse environments and stakeholder groups, seeking to understand and driving towards common goals from, at times, competing perspectives, is essential in these roles. A high level of emotional intelligence and the ability to be versatile and diplomatic is vital. Leading with a sense of humility and intellectual curiosity, candidates display a genuine desire to listen to and learn from others. They will operate from respect for the organization’s grantees and help create an environment of continuous learning with partner organizations and sector experts.
• The Program Officers are naturally curious, lifelong learners who are comfortable reaching beyond current areas of expertise. They have the intellectual agility to become knowledgeable across all aspects of our climate work, including scientific, technical, policy, and racial justice, quickly seeing connections, opportunities, and intersections. The ideal candidates’ innate interest in this work fuels a proactive and forward-looking approach, following trends and anticipating changes and potential impacts to the Foundation.
• With exceptional oral and written communication skills, the Program Officers mount persuasive arguments and effectively present new and complex ideas to audiences of varying backgrounds, from community members to elected officials. With strong interpersonal skills and an approachable style, the Program Officers are team players, empathetic listeners, and natural collaborators who build strong relationships inside and outside the Foundation.
• The Program Officers are confident and mature professionals who routinely exhibit sound judgment and a high degree of discretion and tact. The preferred candidates are humble with the self-awareness and comfort to set ego and personal ambition aside and focus on the mission and team. We expect a high degree of self-awareness and the ability to organize, prioritize, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment with multiple and competing demands. Candidates should demonstrate tolerance for ambiguity, with the ability to work independently yet seek input as needed.
• Upbeat bridge-builders, the successful candidates foster a positive, professional atmosphere and connect across issues and functions, actively developing trusting relationships up, down, and across the organization. Cultural sensitivity and cultural competence are essential to success. The ideal candidates are personally devoted to growing their cultural competence, actively participating in the Foundation’s effort to integrate justice and equity into all facets of its work.

Compensation and Benefits

• The salary range is $106,000–$112,000.
• McKnight provides a competitive compensation package. Benefits include health, dental, life, and disability insurance; generous paid time off; contribution to a retirement plan; matching charitable gifts program; and a flexible work environment.
• These are full-time, exempt positions based in Minneapolis.

The Desert Foothills Land Trust is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

The Agency is the nation’s first and oldest Bi-State regional environmental authority. TRPA is a unique hybrid organization -- not purely federal, state, or local -- working in collaboration with private and public interests to protect and restore Lake Tahoe, its environment, and its communities for generations to come.

The Bi-State Agency is charged with regional planning, development and redevelopment oversight, and implementation of environmental protection and restoration programs for the Region. TRPA has both planning authority and the land use regulatory authority to implement and enforce regional-scale plans. Agency executives, managers, and employees lead programs that weave together science, policy, public and private financial investment, and collaborative partnerships as foundations critical to Lake Tahoe’s long-term preservation. Agency staff functions at the complex crossroad of environmental protection, land use planning, and real estate development in a highly sensitive environment.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Essential Functions of the Sustainability Program Manager position: 

TRPA and its partners in the bi-state Lake Tahoe Region have long been recognized as leaders in sustainability. A significant new environmental threat, one that many believe will affect sustainability of the entire planet, has emerged: climate change. The Lake Tahoe Basin is already experiencing the direct impacts of climate change. These include rapid change to the ecological composition of our natural environment, more severe and frequent hazard events, retreating snowpack, and socio-economic shifts (such as fluctuation of trends in visitation).

Climate change directly impacts the ability of TRPA and regional partners to achieve and maintain threshold standards and will cause major disruptions to the region’s economic, social, and ecological systems. Additionally, the Lake Tahoe Region is extremely vulnerable because the economy is intrinsically linked to the environment and weather patterns. As the regional planning entity, TRPA is taking the lead on sustainability and climate change strategies for the region, working closely with our regional partners.

The Sustainability Program Manager is responsible for implementing the Agency’s Climate Change and Sustainability Strategic Initiative that is built on the success of the Lake Tahoe Region’s award winning Sustainability Action Plan and other state and local plans applicable within the Region, and for recommending and completing implementation priorities on an ongoing basis.

• The Strategic Initiative encompasses high priority climate mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency activities. These activities are carried out in coordination with regional partners (Federal and state agencies, local governments, community organizations, businesses, residents, visitors) and all TRPA Division and Program Managers.
• The Sustainability Program Manager is responsible for implementing the selected priorities through (1) overseeing further more focused development of the strategic initiative components and their implementation, (2) conducting and managing stakeholder and public engagement (3) providing technical assistance to partners, (4) securing funding, and (5) pursuing legislation.
• The Sustainability Program Manager actively participates in partner projects and studies in the areas of climate change adaptation including, but not limited to: water supply and demand, forest ecosystem management, natural hazard disaster mitigation, and economic prosperity. The Sustainability Program Manager performs research and analysis on emerging climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency strategies and practices in order to support partners as well as keep the Agency involved in cutting-edge sustainability efforts.
• In coordination with Agency Divisions and Programs the Sustainability Program Manager will represent the Region in national and multi-state (e.g., Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Mountain PACT, etc.), state (Alliance of Regional Collaboratives for Climate Adaptation, California Association of Councils of Government, Nevada Climate Initiative, etc.), and regional (Sierra Climate Adaptation Management Partnership, etc.) research, planning, funding, and legislative efforts.
• To be successful in the role of Sustainability Program Manager, candidates are expected to demonstrate the facilitative, collaborative leadership needed to build and maintain cooperation and consensus among diverse stakeholder groups who often have divergent and conflicting interests and opinions. The work of the Sustainability Program Manager thus requires knowledge of collaborative decision-making tools and techniques, as well as the ability to analyze complex and controversial issues for their political, legal, public, and regulatory context. The ideal candidate will be able to design effective methods and processes for brokering agreements in a manner that demonstrates fairness and transparency, invites participation, engenders trust, and shapes the future framework for decision-making and problem-solving.

We are a dedicated team of researchers, communicators, advocates, subject matter experts, and professionals working on some of today's big challenges – and we know we are more effective and creative collectively than we are individually.

The Strategy Portfolio within Program
The goal of the strategy portfolio is to inform critical institutional decisions about Pew's programs, strengthen the design and implementation of Pew's work, and generate knowledge that advances Pew's program objectives. We pursue this goal by (1) enhancing the organization's efforts to generate ideas for new initiatives and larger bodies of work; (2) applying a wide range of planning approaches to help programs turn ideas into effective action; (3) using evaluation to improve program performance and inform decision-making; (4) ensuring that staff has access to information that meets their needs to design, implement, and manage high-performing strategies, initiatives, and campaigns; and (5) collaborating with colleagues in preparing a wide range of planning and other types of documents for consideration by Pew's board of directors.
