The Public Access Program Manager is a new position who will shape and steward how the public experiences Solano Land Trust's conserved lands, from vibrant volunteer experiences and meaningful community partnerships to programs that maintain safe trails and welcoming facilities. This person will lead all public access activities across the land trust's portfolio of protected properties, with primary focus on Rush Ranch Open Space, Lynch Canyon Open Space, and Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space. The Public Access Program Manager will report directly to the Stewardship Director and will supervise the Facilities and Fleet Coordinator and the Engagement Specialist.
The ideal candidate is a skilled program manager and relationship-builder who is equally comfortable leading a volunteer workday, negotiating a partnership agreement, or developing a facilities maintenance plan. They bring a genuine love of the outdoors, a commitment to community connection, and the organizational skills to manage a diverse and active program portfolio.
COMPENSATION
This is a full-time, exempt, benefit-eligible position. The anticipated annual salary range for this position is $75,000–$85,000, commensurate with experience, plus bonus potential.
Solano Land Trust provides a portion of the employee's health, dental, and vision insurance, matches up to 3% of the employee's contribution toward their 403(b) retirement account, and offers eleven paid holidays and three weeks of vacation per year.
LOCATION
This position is based at the Solano Land Trust Rush Ranch Open Space office in Suisun City, California.
