ABOUT ELLIE PENFIELD-CYR

I’m looking for a role at the intersection of climate strategy, community engagement, and conscious business, a place where cross-sector networks and policy solutions work together to drive real, on-the-ground change.My career has taken me from presidential campaign fundraising to regenerative food systems, from global women’s leadership networks to Vermont’s climate resilience work, and most recently through a Sustainable Innovation MBA – and that breadth is my strength. I have built my career by staying curious, asking crucial questions, and translating complex ideas into clear strategies and well-run programs. Across roles in strategic development, communications, fundraising, climate resilience, and event management, I developed a sharp ability to see patterns, connect stakeholders, and move projects from concept to execution. I bring a multidisciplinary approach to help mission-driven organizations grow, strengthen their systems, and make tangible progress.I’m seeking roles that focus on:• Climate resilience, adaptation, or sustainability strategy roles• Program or partnership management within mission-driven organizations• Community engagement, stakeholder relations, or network-building positions• Economic or workforce development roles that support place-based resilience• Philanthropy, foundation, or impact-investing roles focused on systems change• Outdoor, conservation, or recreation-based organizations advancing climate and community outcomes
