Are you passionate about restoring nature on a landscape-scale? As one of the National Trust's most pioneering partnership-based landscape-scale projects, we're on an ambitious journey to create a thriving, connected landscape across 21,000 hectares of the west Cotswolds - connecting habitats from Crickley Hill in the north to Newark Park in the south. As the Stroud Landscape Project Manager, you'll be leading a project that works with landowners, communities, local councils and environmental organisations - delivering our Restore Nature strategy beyond the boundaries of our ownership. You will play a pivotal leadership role in the project, making our 2050 vision a reality by identifying long-term land management solutions that help shape and deliver this transformational landscape-scale project - enabling both people and nature to thrive. What it's like to work here The Cotswolds is an amazing place to work, and we care for a real diverse range of sites. From internationally important calcareous grassland to ancient beech woodlands; species-rich lowland meadows to wood pasture and wetter habitats, we have it all including rare and locally vulnerable species, such as the Duke of Burgundy and Large Blue butterflies, skylark, Pasqueflower, Greater Horseshoe Bat and juniper - so there's a lot to get excited about. As Project Manager, you will oversee and be responsible for the delivery of five strategic priority areas including meadows and grasslands, trees and woodlands, water and climate adaptation, urban engagement and conservation grazing. You'll also lead the Ebworth Nature Farmscape workstream with ambitions to grow the Cotswolds Commons and Beechwoods National Nature Reserve by 51%. You'll grow the skills, knowledge and confidence of the project team into new and exciting areas. Building successful partnerships is a big part of our work and you will always be looking to work with others to create bigger, better, more and joined up spaces for nature. You will be motivated and enthusiastic and always ready to go the extra mile, leading and supporting the team to achieve great things. This is a brilliant opportunity for you to bring your project management and experience to make a positive difference to the west Cotswolds landscape. Your enthusiasm, pace and passion for your work will shine through in all you do. What you'll be doing You'll have a passion for delivering high profile nature and landscape projects alongside quality stakeholder engagement. You will build positive partnerships and relationships with others, including landowners and community groups. You'll also have a strong eye for land management practices and business modelling, identifying external funding and fundraising opportunities to give the project a financially sustainable future. You'll work directly with partners as well as being an important, supportive member to the NT's project manager community. You'll facilitate cross-organisation working, bringing positivity and energy. Reporting to the Restore Nature Delivery Manager and the Project Board you'll be a people person, managing complex relationships with partners, staff, volunteers, and community groups. Some weekend and evening working will be required. The post holder will be required to work at the National Trust offices on the Ebworth Estate, near Stroud but you may also work at the portfolio's other offices at Tinkley Gate and on the Sherborne Estate on occasions. Due to the collaborative nature of the role, remote working is not possible. Who we're looking for We'd love to hear from you if you have: Experience of working on and delivering a large, high-profile landscape or nature conservation project Experience of balancing land management with nature outcomes Experience of working with funders and writing large bid applications Experience of project management and working within project management frameworks Knowledge of nature conservation and working with partners to deliver landscape-scale outputs Competency with writing reports and presenting them to different stakeholders Knowledge of Health & Safety compliance requirements and experience producing risk assessments. Strong organisational skills including experience of managing project workstreams and contractors. Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle. Knowledge of land management grants e.g. Countryside Stewardship, Sustainable Farming Incentive The package The National Trust has the motto 'For everyone, for ever' at its heart. We're working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It's important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we're for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
