The successful candidate will be a seasoned, mission-driven executive with a strategic vision that aligns with the organization's goals. Key responsibilities for the CEO include strategic leadership, executive management, external engagement, philanthropy, and board relations. The role demands a leader with a deep commitment to biodiversity and conservation, capable of inspiring others and driving financial sustainability through transparent, servant leadership.
