Title: Partner, Community Planning
Pay: $85,218 and $97,337 depending on relevant experience and skills
Willamette Partnership is hiring a new partner who will project manage collaboratives, support state and local planning and policy research, and provide direct technical assistance (TA) to communities, local governments, and tribes facing water infrastructure-related challenges.
Across a number of projects and with varying degrees of engagement (some short-term, some likely multi-year), this work will likely include planning, programs or policy change for gray and natural infrastructure needed for drinking water, and navigating state and federal funding sources related to wastewater and stormwater. This position will work directly with local partners throughout the Pacific Northwest to craft innovative water infrastructure solutions that improve environmental, health, and community development outcomes.
This new partner will help grow our technical assistance work, with a focus finding sustainable, community-centered water solutions for small, low-income, and rural communities, tribal governments, and others that have experienced inequity under past investments.
Willamette Partnership is a conservation non-profit with a deep commitment to helping build stronger, healthier, and more equitable communities. We believe that people need nature and that the well-being of communities and natural systems is inextricably linked. We do our work by building and supporting strong, multi-partner, multi-benefit solutions through effective collaboration.
We’ve put a lot of effort into developing Core Principles for our organization. At Willamette Partnership, we:
● Start with integrity.
● Respect and support the leadership of communities. ● Look to nature for solutions.
● Understand that our strength lies in partnership.
● Trust in our ability to find common ground.
● Ensure equity is part of all of our jobs.
● Find joy in contribution.

Our work can look intense from the outside, but as one of our recent hires put it, “you’re all remarkably chill people for the amount of work you get done.” We pride ourselves on being just as fun and flexible as we are driven and productive. We actively encourage and model a healthy work-life balance. And our relational approach to our work extends to our internal culture as well — we’re there for each other, joyfully see each other as whole people (not just officemates), and genuinely enjoy getting to work together.
