Administrative Project Coordinator – People and Culture Team

POSITION SUMMARY

The People + Culture (P+C) Administrative Project Coordinator at Trust for Public Land (TPL) provides project coordination and management and high-level administrative support for the P+C Team.

P+C is responsible for connecting all TPLers to the mission, strategy, values, and each other, as well as producing policies and practices that deliver a compelling workplace and culture. Practices cover the entire employee life cycle, including recruiting, hiring, onboarding, rewarding, developing, and transitioning employees. This vital role includes managing, monitoring, and reporting projects to ensure deadlines are met and communicated.

In addition to project management, this role includes calendar management, budget management, supporting communications and interactions with staff and external stakeholders, meeting scheduling and planning, and general administrative duties. The ideal candidate will bring strong organizational and problem-solving skills to the P+C team.

WHO WE ARE

At TPL, we’re a team of outdoor advocates who believe in connecting everyone to the outdoors. As an ethos, we believe access to the outdoors is a fundamental human need and essential to our health and well-being. We’re committed to creating more places that bring us outside—parks, trails, playgrounds, and public lands—and making them available and welcoming to everyone, everywhere, regardless of ZIP code. We also understand that land has meaning; it tells the story of our history. That’s why, through our Black History and Culture initiative, we’re working to preserve sites that more fully represent the Black American experience; and we’re an ally and partner to Tribal and Indigenous communities, working in partnership to reconnect them with their ancestral lands.
One hundred million people, including 28 million children, don’t have nearby access to a park within ten minutes of their home. We’re determined to change this outdoor equity gap–and as a result, nine million people and counting now have access because of our work. We have miles to go and a plan to get there. We’re inclusive change-makers who believe in connecting everyone to the outdoors. We inspire by paving the way forward and strengthening our connection to nature. Join us!

WHO YOU ARE

You believe access to the outdoors is a fundamental human need–not a luxury for just a few. When you hear about the outdoor equity gap, you want to roll up your sleeves and fix that. If you’re convinced that smiles get wider outdoors and that nature is vital to our health and well-being, then you’ll fit right in with our TPL team. We’re seeking iniduals whose resolve is strengthened when met with injustices and challenges. We’re looking for people who are united in the conviction that experiences in nature build relationships and keep us healthy. Since 1972, we’ve grown into a community that’s rooted in our five shared values: belonging, creativity, collaboration, impact, and hope. Is your personal passion to ensure that more people can connect to the outdoors, ensuring healthy communities for generations to come? If so, join us!
