The North America Indigenous Right Relations (IRR) program supports TNC in equitably and effectively partnering with Indigenous Peoples in the North America region, which includes all 50 states and spans several countries. The program models and upholds the principles of right relations including respect, trust, and reciprocity to advance the conservation goals of both TNC and Indigenous Peoples. IRR guides TNC towards its commitments to Tribal sovereignty and human rights, forming true partnerships that uplift the self-determined conservation priorities of Indigenous Peoples, and honoring Indigenous voice, choice, and action.

They serve in key ongoing roles and manage projects to help the program achieve its vision of healthy, thriving Indigenous communities and its goal of Indigenous Peoples considering TNC a valued and trusted partner. The IRR Project Manager uses thoughtful and inclusive processes informed by a decolonized and Indigenous worldview and exceptional communication skills to build relationships and lead diverse, multi-disciplinary teams across the organization to help accelerate the implementation of right relations.

The IRR Project Manager demonstrates sensitivity in handling confidential information and may engage in issue resolution and conflict management to collaboratively solve complex problems. They model the work of right relations, creating safe spaces for co-creation, learning, and change.
The IRR Project Manager engages in work across the program's many priorities, including increasing Indigenous ownership, use, and access to lands and waters and supporting Indigenous-led conservation. Working closely with the IRR team, they navigate interdependencies and ensure alignment of activities across the program's strategic pillars. They work across a highly matrixed and decentralized organization to foster and maintain collaboration and communication. To support effective project management, they develop expertise around right relations and the IRR program's strategic focus areas.
