Careers

As a member of the community engagement team, the engagement associate supports the delivery of welcoming, well-coordinated visitor and event experiences at Duke Farms. This seasonal, front-line role contributes to daily operations and public programs by providing hospitality, assisting with events and logistical support for public amenities (café, bike rental service, orientation center and trails), and supporting positive interactions with visitors and community members.

The event manager is a strategic operations leader responsible for designing and executing high-level convenings, executive retreats and mission-aligned events that advance influence, partnership development and revenue generation.

This role requires a highly organized, systems-driven professional with strong business acumen, executive presence and the ability to operate with precision in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment. As Duke Farms expands its convening strategy and revenue-generating initiatives, this role will build and operationalize the systems, processes and standards required to support scale, consistency and performance.

The safety and security officer is an integral member of the Duke Farms Safety and Security team. This role supports a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for all who work at and visit Duke Farms. The officer collaborates across the Operations and Sustainability department and works closely with other internal teams, external partners and the public to ensure that safety protocols are followed with consistency, care and professionalism. The position requires sound judgment, clear communication and the ability to foster a respectful, responsive environment.

The grounds supervisor plays a central role in stewarding Shangri La’s vibrant five-acre oceanfront site by overseeing the care and cultivation of its gardens, landscapes and hardscapes. Collaborating with the Operations team, the Grounds Supervisor ensures that outdoor areas are maintained to the highest standards of preservation, beauty and safety.

The Creator Fellowship at Duke Farms is a hands-on opportunity for emerging digital creators to shape how audiences experience restoration, climate action and land stewardship. As a creator fellow, you will partner closely with Duke Farms Programs & Partnerships team members and the DDF Influence & Marketing team to create original content that translates conservation science and restoration into accessible, culturally relevant narratives.

This pilot fellowship is part of our effort to expand our impact by connecting with new audiences through imaginative digital storytelling. We’re seeking a digitally fluent, culturally aware creator with a sharp point of view and a passion for social change.
