**About the role:**
- Position within Community Outreach (Conservation) - Operations & Execution, under the Zoology & Wildlife Conservation vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Community Outreach (Conservation) - Operations & Execution
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core community outreach (conservation) - operations & execution activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Report Writing regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**

- Wildlife Field Research Methods
- Operations
- Execution
- Community Outreach (Conservation)
- Data Analysis (Ecological)
- PG Diploma in Wildlife Management
- 11+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving.
- The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
- Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
- Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held.
- The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.
- There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
- Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
- Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.
- Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
