Missouri Coalition for the Environmental (MCE): Executive Director

 MCE is a statewide leader that has been educating, organizing, and advocating in defense of Missouri’s people and their environment for over 50 years. MCE is actively working to eliminate social and racial injustice by advancing the right of every person to clean air, clean water, clean energy and sustainably sourced food. The organization has a strong reputation and track record of taking legal action as an environmental watchdog and a history of being agile and collaborating with partners statewide to support policy initiatives and incubate new, impactful programs (some that have even been spun out into their own organizations). As MCE looks towards its next 50 years, this position offers a unique opportunity to work with a knowledgeable board and motivated staff to define the strategic vision for MCE and its role as an environmental leader and partner in Missouri.

The ideal candidate will be strategic and visionary. They will have a demonstrated ability to build relationships and bring different stakeholders together as part of a coordinated effort to execute on a plan. They will have an entrepreneurial spirit and are excited to wear a lot of different hats, including strategic planner, fundraiser, agency spokesperson, and staff mentor/supporter. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated passion for Missouri’s environment, environmental protection, and environmental justice. They will feel confident evaluating and prioritizing new opportunities that are presented to MCE, balancing the need for focus and flexibility, and are comfortable taking strong, well-informed public stances on issues. They have successfully developed and managed a team previously, fostering a collaborative, transparent, equitable, and inclusive culture, and value organizational development for supporting efficiency, consistency, and success.
