Careers at Fuse

We’re seeking to hire an experienced Program Manager who is committed to collaboration, taking initiative, building trust and getting things done. The Program Manager will oversee and be the primary contact for two high-profile multi-sector conservation and land management programs. The successful individual will manage work at the interface of forestry and caribou conservation, and advance partnerships related to the hosting and sharing of information for land management across Canada.

For this role, we’re in search of someone who is looking to grow their skills in the field of program management, supporting both research and science communication efforts. The ideal candidate will leverage a strong foundation of writing, excellent customer service and organization/planning. This individual will have experience in the fields of forestry, environmental sciences or conservation biology or, at a minimum, have a strong interest in these disciplines.

This role offers the chance to manage multi-sector partnerships, learn about pressing conservation challenges and influence the development of collaborative solutions. The primary responsibility of this role will be to manage two programs: The Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership (ARCKP) and the Canadian Conservation and Land Management (CCLM) Knowledge Portal.

Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership

The Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership is a collaborative partnership between forestry companies in Alberta and the Government of Alberta. You will serve as the program manager where you will help partners advance solutions at the interface of forest management and woodland caribou conservation. You will work with partners to identify and fund: operational research, knowledge syntheses, and communications projects. This is a unique and diverse role. Some days you will be charged with writing requests for proposals, managing review processes, and interacting with service providers to achieve project and network goals. Other days you will schedule Steering Committee meetings, prepare recommendations, host meetings and capture key decisions and actions. Your work will be key to advancing the efforts of the partners and will contribute to finding solutions at the interface of forest management and caribou conservation in Alberta.
