Program Overview Ecosystems is one of four major programs within EDF. The program has bold goals to reach by 2025 that are centered around reversing habitat loss on working lands, building resilient coastal communities, rebalancing water systems and their ability to provide a resilient water supply, and ending agriculture fertilizer pollution. The VP, Ecosystems Working Lands will lead the teams and formulate the strategies associated with creating resilient working lands that benefit people and the planet by improving habitat, reduce impacts on water quality and rebalance management of water supplies, mitigating climate change, and contributing to thriving economies. With a projected 9 billion mouths to feed by mid-century, meeting human needs for food and water in ways that benefit natural systems requires that we sustainably intensify agriculture - grow more on the same (or less) land with techniques that cut pollution and increase biodiversity. EDF’s Working Lands program builds on our credibility as an unconventional but credible partner, working with ranchers, farmers and companies to bring sustainable farming practices and habitat protection to scale; developing better ways to track progress toward environmental outcomes; and aligning public and private financial incentives to reduce the risk for farmers and ranchers who adopt more sustainable and resilient farming systems.  The Working Lands Program has emerged from over a decade’s of work at EDF. This position leverages that record to position EDF as a national level leader, with opportunity for expanding internationally. The program requires deft management of science, policy, economics, business and communication. This role requires expert leadership, communication, and management skills, and the ability to develop meaningful relationships with EDF’s staff, board, funders, and external partners. This is an outstanding opportunity for a politically-savvy leader with fundraising experience.  Overall Function The VP will provide the overall vision, strategy and leadership on sustainability of working lands. The VP will directly manage EDF’s teams working on the following core outcomes: Partnering with farmers and companies to drive sustainability forward Using data to drive improved fertilizer and soil health practices Boosting the business case for conservation practices across the food supply chain Working lands habitat protection campaigns The VP will work collaboratively with peers across the organization, actively engaging them, and also keeping stakeholders informed. The VP will work closely with EDF’s+Biz program (corporate partnerships) on agriculture initiatives that pertain to the supply chain and with the U.S. and Global Climate programs on climate mitigation and policy. The VP will lead the process in implementing EDF’s agriculture and habitat related projects, and serve as a key strategic partner intertwining sound science, economics, policy, and strategic communications.  The VP identifies opportunities, develops and implements projects, and manages advocacy efforts relating to their program.
