Senior Project Manager - Public Spaces, Waterfront

Join our mission‑driven organization that’s growing rapidly and shaping the future of our community in South Baltimore.

Are you a community and public spaces project management professional who loves to work at the intersection of environmental restoration and justice at the local level? Are you passionate about shoreline restoration and nature-based resiliency projects in urban areas? Do you want to make an impact in South Baltimore? If this sounds like you, we have a fabulous opportunity to join our team at the South Baltimore Gateway Partnership (SBGP) in Baltimore!

The Senior Project Manager
- Public Spaces, Waterfront supports SGBP’s mission‑driven Restoration Program projects in South Baltimore communities. As part of SBGP’s Transformational Projects work, the Restoration Program stewards more than $80 million in investments to restore and reconnect South Baltimore’s Middle Branch shoreline. Through the Middle Branch Resiliency Initiative (MBRI) and related investments, the Restoration Program is restoring acres of lost tidal habitat, improving water quality, strengthening resilience to flooding and erosion, and expanding public access to the waterfront.

Working in partnership with South Baltimore communities, the program has already transformed significant stretches of shoreline and continues to pair major physical investments with community engagement, workforce development, programming, and stewardship.

This position is committed to strengthening the relationship between South Baltimore communities and a healthy, restored waterfront by pairing physical investments in accessible public spaces with programming, stewardship, workforce development, and meaningful opportunities for residents to engage with nature and restoration.

This is a hybrid position, primarily working at a desk, and you will need to attend meetings at the office, as well as in the community, including at construction sites, parks, or other non‑climate‑controlled environments (with the occasional evening or weekend meetings/events).
