About This Opportunity
Wild Bear Nature Center seeks a visionary executive leader to guide our transformation from beloved grassroots organization to professionally managed regional destination for environmental education. Following a recent fire that destroyed our interim facility, Wild Bear has renewed focus: complete our $15+ million net-zero nature center and launch operations that will serve 50,000+ annual visitors. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to architect an organization's future from a clean slate — designing strategy, building systems, hiring teams, and establishing culture in a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility adjacent to 3,000 acres of Boulder County Open Space.
Benefits
Benefits: Health insurance stipend, retirement plan with match, generous PTO, professional development support, possible relocation assistance available
Lifestyle: Live in Nederland — a quirky mountain town of 1,500 at 8,300 feet, 30 minutes from Boulder, 90 minutes from Denver, with world-class outdoor recreation at your doorstep
Opportunity: Ground-floor leadership of a brand-new facility with regional impact, autonomy to build from scratch, and a platform to become a recognized leader in Colorado's environmental education community
