About Audubon

The National Audubon Society is a leading nonprofit conservation organization with 120 years of science-based, community-driven impact, dedicated to protecting birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Birds are powerful indicators of our planet's health, acting as sentinels that warn us of environmental change and inspire action. Audubon works across the Western Hemisphere, driven by the understanding that what is good for birds is good for the planet.

Through a collaborative, bipartisan approach across habitats, borders, and the political spectrum, Audubon drives meaningful and lasting conservation outcomes. With 800 staff and over 1.9 million supporters, Audubon is a dynamic and ever-growing force committed to ensuring a better planet for both birds and people for generations to come.

The Engagement Manager for Audubon's Mid-Atlantic region (AMA) is responsible for regional efforts to engage and activate Audubon chapters and supporters while expanding the sphere of influence of the Audubon network within the region, which comprises Pennsylvania, Maryland and the District of Columbia. This geography encompasses 25 traditional chapters, seven campus chapters, and has over 110,000 National Audubon Society supporters and donors.

In addition to supporting Audubon's federal and state policy priorities, this dedicated network of grassroots activists is leading local efforts to make their communities more bird-friendly by reducing bird collisions with buildings, encouraging people and municipalities to dedicate more space to native plants, and generating awareness of and enthusiasm for Audubon's environmental mission. Reporting to AMA's Director of Policy, the Engagement Manager will work closely with regional and national staff to ensure a strong chapter network in the region, communicate with supporters across the region, engage members in Audubon's advocacy initiatives, and support community-based initiatives that advance bird conservation.

Working with the Policy Director and AMA conservation and two environmental center team members, the Engagement Manager will work to implement strategies to engage Audubon chapters and supporters in advancing regional policy objectives and supporting community-led grassroots advocacy aligned with Flight Plan. The Engagement Manager will be responsible for developing partnerships and providing training and capacity-building opportunities, tools, and mechanisms to build the connectedness, capacity, diversity, and size of the Audubon network in the region.

The Engagement Manager will collaborate closely with the AMA Policy Director, communications staff and the National Audubon Society Network Team, to successfully engage our bipartisan network and conservation partners for successful policy campaigns and conservation leadership. The ideal candidate will be a skilled, experienced manager and a strategic thinker and have a background in working with communities, campaigns, and collaborative partnerships across the Mid-Atlantic region.
