  • Coordination of basic donor communications and automations (renewal letters, tax receipts/thanks, assistance with year-end direct mail and online giving campaigns).
  • Handling/directing general inquiries from chapters and others through our office and website as a first point of contact and directing to other team members as appropriate.
  • Reviewing, documenting and where appropriate improving Colorado TU systems and processes in these areas of activity.

The position will report directly to the Executive Director.


Staff and leadership at TU understand that life outside of work is important to personal health, and we strive to create a healthy and family-friendly atmosphere. This is a full-time position with a generous benefits package. The approximate salary range is  in the $50Ks, depending on experience and with opportunity for future growth.


At TU, we are committed to building space for all people to participate in our work to care for trout and their watersheds. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
