The Transactions Program Manager is a key programmatic role sitting at the heart of Solano Land Trust's conservation mission, working closely with landowners. This person will lead and coordinate the acquisition of conservation easements and fee-title land through donation or purchase, or by transfer from developers or mitigation proponents, in accordance with the Land Trust's policies and procedures. The Transactions Program Manager reports directly to the Chief Program Officer and will supervise and support the GIS/Conservation Easement Monitoring Specialist.
The ideal candidate brings strong technical knowledge of conservation easements and land conservation tools, experience navigating complex transactions with multiple stakeholders, and a genuine appreciation for agricultural communities and working lands. They understand that lasting conservation depends as much on trust and relationships as it does on legal and financial expertise.
COMPENSATION
This is a full-time, exempt, benefit-eligible position. The anticipated annual salary range for this position is $75,000–$90,000, commensurate with experience.
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
