Job Description

Pyxera Global seeks a qualified Local Project Coordinator (LPC) individual consultant or organization familiar with the circular economy, material recovery, and / or e-waste landscape in southern New Mexico, specifically within and around Doña Ana County, Sunland Park, Las Cruces, Santa Teresa, and the greater Borderplex region.

The consultant will map and analyze stakeholders and network dynamics among public, private, and community actors shaping the region’s material recovery and circular economy ecosystem. This work will inform the design of community ownership mechanisms that create equitable economic opportunity and shared benefit across all segments of the community, including historically underserved or vulnerable populations.

The assignment directly supports Pyxera Global’s preparation for an in-person Community Assessment scheduled for the week of 8 December 2025, during which Pyxera Global staff will deploy its Community Assessment Toolkit, with a focus on Cooperative Ownership & Bankability.

Objectives

  • Map and analyze the stakeholder ecosystem across target communities to understand relationships, influence, and capacity related to circularity and material recovery.
  • Identify “keystone” stakeholders —individuals and entities with the trust, reach, and resources to support the design and launch of community ownership mechanisms.
  • Ensure representation of vulnerable, underserved, and frontline groups , including low-income, immigrant, and informal-sector communities, throughout the assessment process.
  • Facilitate inclusive engagement that builds community buy-in and supports long-term economic opportunity across all community segments.
  • Prepare for Pyxera Global’s December site visit by coordinating meetings and tailoring the Community Assessment Toolkit to reflect local context, culture, and priorities.

Scope of Work & Tasks

Task 1 : Stakeholder & Network Mapping (by 21 November 2025)

  • Identify and categorize relevant stakeholders and entities active in or adjacent to the circular economy, recycling, e-waste, and materials recovery sectors.
  • Include representation from public agencies, private firms, community-based and grassroots organizations, academic institutions, tribal or border communities, and informal or small-scale operators.
  • Map network relationships (collaborations, supply / material flows, and influence pathways) and identify equity gaps or communities at risk of exclusion.
  • Produce a visual or tabular stakeholder map and an analytical summary describing ecosystem dynamics, collaboration patterns, and opportunities for inclusive growth.

    • Task 2 : Keystone Stakeholder Identification (late November 2025)

  • In consultation with Pyxera Global, identify and profile “keystone” actors—those best positioned to convene, support, or sustain community ownership initiatives.
  • Ensure this group represents a diverse cross-section of voices and lived experiences, including women-led, minority-led, and community-based organizations.
  • Describe how each keystone stakeholder can contribute to advancing inclusive economic participation.

    • Task 3 : Meeting Coordination & Localization Support (prior to 8 December 2025)

  • Coordinate and confirm meetings for Pyxera Global’s four-day in-person visit during the week of 8 December 2025.
  • Develop a meeting plan with stakeholder profiles, discussion topics, and logistical details.
  • Collaborate with Pyxera Global to localize the Community Assessment Toolkit, adapting its framing, terminology, and guiding questions to the local cultural and socioeconomic context.
  • Ensure engagement sessions are bilingual (English and Spanish) and accessible to participants with different educational and socioeconomic backgrounds. Provide interpretation during visits, as needed.

    • Deliverables

  • Stakeholder & Network Map (visual and tabular formats) with an analytical summary – due 21 November 2025.
  • List and rationale for Keystone Stakeholders (with profiles and engagement strategy) – due by 25 November 2025.
  • Draft meeting schedule and engagement plan for Pyxera Global’s in-person visit – due by 1 December 2025.
  • Localized inputs and contextual notes for adapting the Community Assessment Toolkit – due by 6 December 2025.

    • Level of Effort & Period of Performance

  • Estimated Level of Effort : 80–100 hours (approx. 10–12 working days).
  • Period of Performance : Late-October – Mid-December 2025.
  • Work will be conducted primarily remotely, with in-person engagement as necessary within the local area.

    • Qualifications

    Ideal candidates will have :

  • Demonstrated knowledge of the circular economy, waste management, or materials recovery ecosystem in southern New Mexico or the Borderplex region.
  • Strong local networks across government, business, community, and nonprofit sectors.
  • Experience with stakeholder mapping, community engagement, or participatory assessment approaches.
  • Proven ability to engage marginalized or vulnerable communities in inclusive planning or consultation processes.
  • Excellent communication skills and fluency in both English and Spanish (spoken and written).
  • Strong organizational capacity to coordinate meetings and support visiting teams.
  • Prior collaboration with international NGOs or donor-funded initiatives preferred.

    • Reporting

    The consultant will report directly to Pyxera Global’s Client Manager and coordinate regularly with the Pyxera Global team preparing for and conducting the December field assessment.

    Remuneration

    This is a part-time consultant position with an estimated immediate start date and expected 80 to 100 hours anticipated. Pay will be based on past experience, the type of work required for this position, and prevailing local market rates for similar work.
