The successful candidate will be the organization's lead counsel on public lands issues, including reviewing federal administrative actions and proposed policy and helping to shape and inform the public lands agenda for the NWF. You will be an integral member of our public lands team and will work with our affiliates and other departments across the organization. Your areas of focus will include but not be limited to: conserving and enhancing wildlife corridors; energy development, mining, and other infrastructure on federal lands; conserving and restoring important landscapes critical for wildlife; retaining and expanding protected lands through administrative and legislative action; improving access to public lands and waters.

* Prepare, or oversee preparation of, technical comments on agency actions, and occasionally prepare written testimony or letters for hearings on Capitol Hill, and letters for policy makers within federal agencies. From sage grouse conservation plan amendments, to oil and gas lease sales, to environmental impact statements, to land management plans, this is the person anyone on the public lands team or from our affiliates will turn to in order to ask, "what does this really mean?" or "does this adhere to NEPA [or fill in the blank on the law]?"
* Coordinate strategy with and provide NWF leadership among colleague organizations and coalitions in conservation communities.
* Serve as the client contact for public lands litigation to which NWF becomes a party.
* Represent NWF before administrative agencies, tribunals, and federal courts as circumstances warrant.

* Minimum of 3 years of legal practice in the environment and natural resource field, preferably working on public lands issues. Active state law license required. Relevant policy practice will be considered as a substitute for some legal practice. Advocacy experience a plus.
* The successful candidate will be equally comfortable assessing the intricacies of an Environmental Impact Statement and explaining that document in a compelling way to the general public.
