About You

You have strong writing and editing skills and are skilled at conveying information succinctly and engagingly. You know how to grab people’s attention with a great subject line or header, and you take pride in your ability to draw people in with captivating copy and eye-catching visuals.

You’re able to take complex scientific, policy, or legal information and communicate it clearly and compellingly. You recognize the tone of WOC’s publications and are able to replicate this in your writing. You’re able to manage multiple time-sensitive projects in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. And you have experience working with — and catering to — non-dominant communities.

You thrive in collaborative environments, but are self-driven, organized, and able to take ownership over your projects to make them your own. You have excellent attention to detail, but not at the expense of the big picture: you love finding ways to make even the smallest project move the needle on important issues. You take pride in the quality of your work and are conscientious about meeting deadlines. You enjoy pitching in to help others when needed. You have strong interpersonal skills. You’re good at asking for help when you need it.

Ideally, you have experience updating websites, working with databases, and creating simple graphic designs — though these are skills we can teach you. If you are interested in developing your expertise in any of these areas, there are opportunities for this role to grow with you. Regardless, we are looking for someone who is eager to learn and unafraid to use new systems.

You are familiar with the geography, natural resources, and culture of Wyoming — or are willing to learn quickly. And you are committed to the mission of the Wyoming Outdoor Council, and will support and contribute to our equity and belonging work.

We strongly encourage applicants from underrepresented groups to apply, and please note you do not need to meet all the criteria listed in order to be considered for this position. Research shows that many marginalized communities are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet each and every requirement. At WOC, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. You may be the perfect candidate for this role even if your resume doesn't perfectly align with every item in the job description.
