    Chief operating officer job in Washington, DC

    The Land Trust Alliance has been a cornerstone of the private land conservation movement in the U.S. for more than 40 years, serving as the voice of the land trust community. As the national leader in policy, standards and education, we have been instrumental in growing the land trust community in impact, influence and excellence. We work passionately to support a member network of more than 1,000 land trusts and partners across America so they can save more land and better serve their communities. Our natural places and working lands are a lifeline to clean air, water, food and good health. These lands also bring us together, inspire us and provide opportunities to recreate and recharge. The land trust community is a crucial component in this equation. With important places under continual threat, land trusts need access to the best tools, information and policy advocates. Armed with a diverse network and valuable resources, the Alliance is the land trust community's source for the knowledge and capabilities they need to reach their goals. From tax and funding policies on Capitol Hill to innovative ideas, partnerships and initiatives, we ensure our land trust members can always be heard and achieve more.

At the same time, we work to elevate and promote the work of the Alliance and its programs to our members, funders and other key stakeholders. We envision a reenergized, more relevant conservation movement in which land trusts join with partners that have not traditionally identified as conservation organizations, including from the for-profit sector, around our shared interest of protecting special places.
