Description

• Ever wondered what the meaning is in the songs of whales, in the chirping of the birds in your garden, or in the ultrasonic communications of bats? You’re not alone… • Earth Species Project (ESP) is a non-profit using AI to decode animal communication to find new ways of listening to and learning from the rest of nature. Our ultimate goal is to drive a renewed relationship with the rest of nature that allows the diversity of life to thrive. • ESP partners with biologists and machine learning researchers at leading universities and institutions around the world, and we are honored to be supported by many forward-looking philanthropists and groups, including Reid Hoffman, Waverley Street Foundation, the Paul G Allen Family Foundation and the National Geographic Society. • Our global team is growing, and we have recently established our theory of change, which has strategic partnerships at its heart. We are looking for a talented Strategic Partnerships Manager with exceptional relationship management skills to lead efforts to identify, cultivate and manage these relationships.

Requirements

• Experience gained in a fast-paced tech, academic, or science-focused non-profit environment, with direct experience managing strategic relationships and establishing impact frameworks. • A proven ability to hone in on strategic approaches that will deliver the best results and a stellar “connector of dots” across programs, teams, and relationships. • Demonstrated experience developing best practices for relationship management and building team capacity to do this effectively. • Wizard organizational skills - able to juggle multiple priorities and work independently while also being comfortable with directing or collaborating with others. • Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to be nimble in responding to a fast-moving environment. • Understanding and comfort with current industry terminology (jargon) in machine learning and/or biological sciences, or the ability to get up to speed fast. • A track record in supporting an organization with developing and implementing Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation processes. • A demonstrated track record of effective project management to deliver results. • Experience with effective management and facilitation of events and workshops.

Benefits

• Medical insurance, dental insurance, and vision insurance - ESP covers 100% of the premium. • 401k plan with match (if based in the United States). • 2,000 USD home office stipend. • Unlimited paid time off, with a recommended minimum of three weeks per year. • Flexible working hours. • Regular team retreats around the world.
