This is a defining leadership opportunity to steward one of the nation’s most significant park systems while guiding the organization through an important period of transition and renewed focus.

The General Manager will lead a complex, values-based public organization entrusted with protecting rare natural resources and biodiverse open space, preserving lands for future generations, expanding equitable access to parks and trails, and advancing science-informed stewardship to support climate change resilience across a diverse two-county region.
