Washington, United States National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Full time

**DIRECTOR, CONSERVATION PLANNING AND EVALUATION**

**Summary**

The Director, Conservation Planning and Evaluation, is a thought-leader and works to position the Foundation as reference in the field of environmental planning and evaluation, and the convener of choice in the conservation community. Under the leadership of the Chief Conservation Officer, the Director is responsible for working with the Foundation’s staff and Board, federal agencies, and other conservation partners to update and implement an outcome-based investment and impact monitoring and evaluation framework, strategy, and business system for the Foundation’s conservation programs. In collaboration with other members of NFWF’s Science and Evaluation team, the Director will serve as a spokesperson and will work to advance the Foundation’s conservation planning and evaluation activities.

The Director will work to ensure that the Foundation’s core portfolio of programs is designed to achieve long-term impact with measurable outcomes. The Director will serve as a catalyst within the Foundation to create new combinations of people, processes, methodologies, and ideas that will lead to efficient and effective approaches to planning and measuring the outcomes of the Foundation’s conservation programs by working with partners to create a strong culture of conservation impact assessment “on the ground.” The Director will manage and oversee the work of the Conservation Planning and Evaluation team and will work closely with Science and Program staff to develop and institutionalize standardized monitoring and evaluation protocols to evaluate our grantmaking impact and deliver measurable outcomes in accordance with the Foundation’s vision and strategic plan.

**ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**

- Through engagement with staff and key partners, update and build planning, and evaluation as core components of NFWF grantmaking to achieve and measure conservation outcomes.
- Lead the Conservation Planning and Evaluation staff to update the Foundation’s conservation strategy framework, business planning processes, and goal development, making them more adaptable to change and emerging opportunities, while remaining outcome focused.
- Work with Data Science to develop, implement, and refine NFWF’s evaluation and monitoring strategy to ensure we have standard processes for measuring progress across multiple scales of grant making and for providing quality information for both program improvement and accountability purposes.
- Build Foundation staff and grantee understanding and capacity for using monitoring and evaluation as a tool for learning and adaptive management.
- Improve integration of planning, assessments, evaluation, and scorecards.

Oversee Business Planning
- Lead coordination of major business planning decisions and timelines with the Chief Conservation Officer, Regional Directors, and Board of Directors.
- Support the Staff Scientist-Planning and Evaluation in facilitating the design and development of programmatic business plans that achieve broad support by the relevant conservation community and are adaptable to emerging needs and opportunities while still including the core components of an effective initiative plan: conservation goals, strategies, assessment of risks and measures of progress.
- Increase efficiency of business plan implementation to ensure that NFWF priorities remain relevant and impactful, and plans are nimble enough to capitalize on new opportunities that align with goals for conservation outcomes.
- Support Data Science in their efforts to develop internal data collection and reporting systems for more efficiently compiling, aggregating, and disseminating project and program outcomes to both internal (staff, Board) and external (funding partners, grantees, etc.) audiences.
- Support the Staff Scientist-Planning and Evaluation to facilitate the development and oversight of monitoring and evaluation plans for guiding and tracking progress towards business plan conservation goals.

Lead and/or Oversee Analyses, Assessments, and Evaluations
- Lead the Science & Evaluation and Program staff in the development of an updated evaluation framework that is more efficient and aligned with current needs and resources for oversight and adaptive management.
- Prepare and/or assist in the preparation of various descriptive and evaluative reports and work with appropriate NFWF staff to help incorporate findings into future organizational and program improvements.
- Oversee and collaborate with the Staff Scientist-Planning and Evaluation on internal assessments of targeted conservation programs as well as cross-program priorities to inform future decision-making and assist in the development of program action plans to respond to assessment recommendations.
- Oversee the development and implementation of third-party evaluations.
