The Senior Marketing Specialist (SMS) will be an integral part of the Wildlife Restoration Foundation (WRF) team. Work to build WRF’s organizational capacity, resource base, and impact on America’s park wildlife as you contribute your talents and years of experience marketing for conservation. Every WRF team member plays an important part in meeting the WRF mission, which is to increase park wildlife population viability both ex situ and in situ, working closely with National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, Marine Sanctuaries and Forests, zoo and aquarium partners, and park gateway communities. Our goal is to ensure WRF operates effectively and efficiently and generates resources and engagement that enable measurable, boots-on-the-ground and fins-in-the-water wildlife conservation results.

The Senior Marketing Specialist volunteer will assist the WRF President with the development, implementation, and delivery of marketing strategies and initiatives in line with WRF’s strategic plan and board direction so that WRF builds capacity for its primary program work:

· North American Bison Summit ( https://www.nabsummit.org/)

· Zoo-Park Partnerships (ZPPs) for America’s Keystone Wildlife(tm)
