The Position:
Duke Farms is in an exciting period of transformation: evolving from a beloved regional amenity for nature experiences to a world-class center for applied conservation and science. The inaugural Deputy Executive Director of Science and Conservation will play a central role in leading this transformation by conceiving, developing and implementing environmental restoration and conservation programs that address nationally and globally important nature and climate issues.

The core charge of the Deputy Executive Director of Science and Conservation, as the executive of record for all land and nature management activities at Duke Farms, will be to develop and lead the implementation of a visionary strategy that makes Duke Farms a national leader in the role of environmental restoration and conservation in promoting biodiversity and accelerating the global sustainability transition.

The Deputy Executive Director will lead a team focused on managing agricultural and natural lands for maximum biodiversity, particularly for threatened and endangered species; developing, implementing and evaluating natural climate solutions that restore biodiversity while storing carbon and promoting climate resilience; and developing and promoting science-based research and evaluation methods that address significant conservation challenges. The Deputy Executive Director will also be expected to imagine, plan and build partnerships that enable Duke Farms to participate in nationally and globally significant research and policy development.
