Human Resource Specialist

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Grounded in science, we develop innovative solutions to the world’s toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive.

Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity; respect for people, communities, and cultures;

and a collaborative, bipartisan approach. Thanks to more than 1 million members, over 400 scientists, and the dedicated efforts of our staff and partners, we impact conservation around the world.

Established in 1980, TNC’s Hawai i Chapter has forged partnerships to manage over 2 million acres of natural lands and has grown to include Palmyra Atoll.

We currently manage 14 preserves and other sites in Hawai i and Palmyra Atoll. In Hawai i, we work with government agencies, private landowners, businesses, community partners and local stakeholders to protect and restore Hawai i’s native watershed forests, coral reefs, and nearshore fisheries for both their ecological value and the many benefits they provide to people.

At Palmyra Atoll, a National Wildlife Refuge 1,000 miles south of Hawai i, we facilitate research in this living laboratory to better understand and address global questions around sustainable fisheries and resilience to climate change.

This is an exceptional career opportunity for a highly motivated, capable individual interested in joining the world’s leading conservation organization!

What We Can Achieve Together :

In July 2023, Hawai i and Palmyra Chapter launched its FY24-FY28 strategic plan which recognizes that caring for our island home Island Earth is a kākou (we) effort : it’s about all of us.
