Conservation Manager - Oferta potente y competitiva en remoto

 CONSERVATION MANAGER

The Organization:

Azul is a Latinx led and serving environmental justice organization focused on ocean stewardship. We are small, nimble, and extremely mighty. Our work is rooted and guided by equity, social justice, and intersectionality. Founded in 2011, Azul is the only ocean conservation organization in the U.S. specifically focused on leveraging the strengths and voting power of Latinx communities. As a Latinx-led and serving organization working in the environmental justice and ocean conservation movements for more than a decade, we have had a front seat to missed opportunities, missed connections, and the exclusion of our communities’ lived experiences. To change this, Azul was created to celebrate rich Latinx conservation traditions, connect Latinx people to current solutions for marine conservation, center Latinx people as marine stewards, and call on our communities’ pragmatic and common-sense approaches to resource use and protection.  


Azul is an independent operating project of the nonprofit umbrella organization, Multiplier, a nationally recognized nonprofit with a growing portfolio of innovative initiatives that conserve and protect a sustainable and resilient world (www.multiplier.org), and is headquartered in San Francisco.  This is a remote position.
