**WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER**:
The Director Culture and Operations (DCO) will develop a strong and inclusive culture within the Illinois Chapter and is responsible for leading the chapter’s operations, facilities, and safety functions. Finance and Human Resources are also part of the DCO’s overall responsibility, but for these areas, the DCO will work closely with the Midwest Division People Team and senior finance staff, resulting in a more strategic approach for these functions.
With a $15 million annual operating budget, and more than 70 employees, the Illinois Business Unit (BU) is one of The Nature Conservancy’s larger programs. Also, the five TNC business units comprising the Midwest Division (of which the Illinois Business Unit is a part) are increasingly working together at scale, thereby requiring the DCO to closely collaborate with staff both inside and outside the Illinois Business Unit to increase the operational effectiveness of the organization as it seeks to deliver ambitious conservation outcomes. While Divisional cooperation and coordination will be important, the principal focus of this role is on Illinois operations and the well-being of Illinois staff. Given the size of the Illinois conservation team as compared to other functions within the BU and the complexity of operations issues within conservation, the bulk of the DCO’s time will be spent working with Illinois conservation staff while still providing essential support and guidance to other teams, and the Chapter as a whole.
The DCO is a strategic leader who will be a part of the business unit’s management team. This is a new position, and the DCO is responsible for co-designing an operational structure ideally suited to provide support to and partner with members of the conservation, development, government relations, operations, IT and marketing teams. They are responsible for developing operational guidelines leading towards efficient program management and regulatory compliance. The DCO will spearhead efforts to foster an inclusive and diverse workplace, and build upon a strong, authentic culture. Facilitating a sense of shared community among colleagues spread across the state, and helping Illinois staff to see themselves as part of the Midwest Division and contributing to the 2030 goals is paramount. These connections are especially important in that some Illinois staff operate on a hybrid basis, some work exclusively on site, and others work entirely from home offices. The DCO is responsible for upholding organizational values and ensuring that programmatic work is both collaborative and well-integrated across the Illinois business unit.
In close cooperation with the Executive Director, the DCO is responsible for creating an accountability structure for goals around diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice at both the individual and team level, and helping to ensure those goals are met. The DCO may serve on the Illinois Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Committee, either as a full member or advisor. The DCO will work in partnership with the Midwest Division HR team, Regional Learning Lead, and Divisional recruiter on issues related to talent management, employee relations, staff development programs, recruiting, onboarding and orientation, offboarding, and performance management. Duties can be highly confidential and require broad and comprehensive knowledge of TNC’s policies. The DCO will also implement practices and programs to celebrate employee milestones, program achievements, and foster a sense of community.
The DCO will seek to achieve compliance on the highest order with TNC’s SOPs, policies and procedures, and ethical guidelines, reinforcing consistency in practice as needed. The DCO will provide advice and guidance related to operations. They will lead efforts to develop processes, define project outcomes, and initiate solutions to improve the effectiveness and transparency of operational activities. They will serve as team leader for the enhancement of systems and tools used by members of the Illinois business unit. Importantly, the DCO will actively seek options to make compliance and operational requirements as easy as possible for ILFO staff members and will be expected to provide feedba
