About Lacy Consulting Services:

We are committed to helping environmental organizations and sustainability-focused businesses reach their community and conservation goals using social science techniques and diversity, equity, and inclusion principles. We use applied social science and robust relationship-building to better understand our stakeholders.

Position Description:

You will be working closely with a busy and outgoing entrepreneur who runs a company that assists environmental organizations in achieving both their social and environmental outcomes. We are looking for an individual with a background in Conservation/Environmental Science and Planning that has experience facilitating workshops, creating JEDI-centered coursework, and has incorporated JEDI into conservation planning. This position will take the lead on creating JEDI-focused workshops and facilitating them for conservation-minded organizations. The JEDI in Conservation Specialist will also come in as a collaborator with the business. Much of this work will focus on trust-building with stakeholders for various organizations.

Lacy Consulting Services has a series of existing workshops that the JEDI in Conservation Specialist will be required to facilitate on their own with clients. These include:

Building and Sustaining Trust with Diverse Communities
JEDI 101
Empower. Transform
Approaches to Integrating JEDI into Conservation Planning

We will provide recorded videos, PowerPoint Presentations, and documentation for this position to read and watch over the first month of employment to allow an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the materials.

Some previous projects are Lacy Consulting Services’ work in Mexico conserving bat populations through community engagement, projects in The Bahamas facilitating working relationships between fishers and law enforcement to prevent poaching and create marine protected areas, and building trust between diverse, BIPOC farmers and conservation organizations across North America.

Compensation:

As the work level alters between projects, this position will be hourly and part-time. For the 6-month contract, the JEDI in Conservation Specialist will make $35/hour for up to 20 hours/week to start. As a startup business, we do require a level of investment and trust built before continuing on past the initial 6-month contract. Depending on our level of project work after 6 months, this contract may be extended and put into a full-time, salaried position.

The contract is subject to performance review and the employer will provide a 30-day notice to terminate if the contractor is not meeting performance standards which will include both tangible and intangible project and workplace metrics.

Lacy Consulting Services is an equal opportunity business. We will not discriminate based on age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race, political affiliation, or any other identities.
