This pivotal role aims to significantly bolster the organization's digital footprint, expanding its reach and engagement across various online platforms to further its crucial mission. The move underscores RMEF's strategic commitment to leveraging contemporary communication channels in its ongoing efforts to protect wildlife and wild lands.
The chosen individual will be tasked with developing and executing comprehensive social media strategies, crafting compelling narratives, and managing digital campaigns that resonate with RMEF's diverse audience of members, hunters, and conservationists.

Responsibilities will extend to monitoring digital trends, analyzing performance metrics, and adapting strategies to optimize online presence and community interaction. The role also involves collaborating with internal teams to align digital content with broader organizational goals and fundraising initiatives.
For over four decades, RMEF has been at the forefront of conservation, safeguarding millions of acres of prime elk country, securing public access, and advocating for sound wildlife management. Its work is primarily funded through memberships, donations, and successful fundraising initiatives, all of which increasingly rely on robust public awareness and support generated through digital outreach. The new manager will play a critical role in articulating the tangible impact of these efforts, from land acquisitions and habitat restoration projects to youth education programs and policy advocacy, translating conservation science into engaging public information.
The ideal candidate will possess a proven track record in digital content creation and community management, coupled with a deep understanding of conservation issues and a passion for the outdoors. Experience with multimedia production, SEO best practices, and analytics platforms will be essential, alongside strong writing and editorial skills. This position represents a unique opportunity for a digital marketing professional to directly contribute to tangible conservation outcomes, translating online engagement into real-world action and support for North America's iconic wildlife.
