Who We Are
Since 1993, Kentucky Waterways Alliance (KWA) has successfully protected, restored, and celebrated the unique and vital waterways of the Commonwealth. We are a non-profit organization based in Louisville, but we work across the state in three coordinated program areas: Watershed Management, Water Policy, and Community Engagement.
What We Offer
A full-time, four-day workweek - at KWA our standard work week is 32 hours, Monday through Thursday, 8 hours a day, with Fridays off. We provide this extra day off compared to the standard work week for our employees' wellbeing. We accomplish our goals during this shortened work week by being focused and organized when we are at work.
Pay will be commensurate with experience in the range of $45,000 to $60,000. This job includes 15 paid holidays, partial work-from-home (part of the four-day week can be work-from-home), paid vacation, sick days, health insurance, retirement account with matching contribution, and professional development support.
Position Summary
The Water Policy Director is a passionate advocate for clean water. This position oversees KWA’s policy efforts and permitting oversight work, and requires some knowledge of Clean Water Act permitting programs, as well as basic understanding of other federal and state environmental protection laws.
Necessary skills include ability to communicate with state and federal agencies and personnel about clean water policy issues, and a demonstrated ability to manage time wisely and prioritize day-to-day tasks. The ability to work in a team environment is essential: KWA sees coalition building across sectors as essential to policy change.
