Bird conservation and habitat protection across the Americas
National Audubon Society operates a geographically distributed conservation network across the Americas, with state programs, nature centers, and chapters reaching millions annually. The hiring mix reveals a field-heavy organization: operations, research, and education dominate the active roles, with junior and intern positions accounting for two-thirds of openings—typical of hands-on conservation work. Current pain points (human disturbance to nesting sites, multi-state habitat coordination, scaling chapter impact) point to an organization actively managing ground-level conservation execution while navigating internal digital transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Forest Conservation Director, Conservation Director, Community Building Director, Head Chef, Flight Crew Lead
