JOB OVERVIEW

Nature NB connects people with nature. We support a diverse network of nature-lovers across the province, providing opportunities for New Brunswickers of all ages, and from all regions and backgrounds, to discover, learn about, and share nature with each other. We travel throughout the province, teaching kids about nature in their schoolyards and neighbourhoods, advocating for species at risk through local outreach, and engaging volunteers in monitoring and protecting the species and landscapes they love.

Based out of our Fredericton office, the Engagement Coordinator will work closely with the Executive Director and Program Director to help our supporters take action to celebrate, conserve, and protect nature in New Brunswick. Duties for the Engagement Coordinator will be to assist in the day-to-day management of social media channels; preparing and writing blog posts, newsletters, press releases, and reports; engaging with potential supporters; assisting with event planning and managing event logistics; tracking metrics for growth and engagement; and more. The Engagement Coordinator ultimately helps us to build and strengthen relationships with our supporters and promote the organization’s mission and values to external stakeholders.

In addition to our collaborative work culture and flexible schedule, we also offer a unique benefit: a four-day work week. Our employees work four 8-hour days, giving them an extra day to recharge, pursue hobbies and passions, or spend time with family and friends.
