Center for Science in the Public Interest
1220 L Street, NW Ste 300, Washington, DC 20005
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) works to improve the food environment for all Americans. CSPI led efforts to win passage of many state and local policies to improve school food, remove sugary drinks from children’s menus, and require calorie labeling on chain restaurant menus. National policy successes include the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (to improve school food), Food Safety Modernization Act, and Food Allergen Consumer Protection Act.
Unhealthy food and beverages are the leading contributors to death in the United States, contributing to more than 600,000 premature deaths each year, primarily through heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. The typical American diet is low in fruit, vegetables and whole grains and too high in sugar-sweetened beverages, red and processed meat, full-fat dairy, refined grains, sodium, and saturated fat. The ubiquity, amounts, and aggressive promotion of sugary drinks and unhealthy food in the food supply are hazardous to the public’s health.
We are searching for a Campaign Manager to spark and support initiatives by national, state and local organizations, policymakers, and the public to build synergy and national momentum for food and nutrition policies. This work will especially include initiatives to support historically disenfranchised communities that experience health disparities and are disproportionately targeted by unhealthy beverage and food marketing. The Campaign Manager will focus on national, state and local initiatives to address overconsumption of sugary drinks. This position reports to the Deputy Director of Regulatory Affairs and is located in our Washington, DC office.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Working with the Policy Leadership Team, coordinate CSPI’s sugary drink campaign goals and strategies.
Provide technical assistance, materials, and strategic advice to organizations and coalitions, mobilize grassroots, utilize digital advocacy platforms, coordinate state and local sugary drink and warning label lobbying efforts, and use social media and press outreach in support of campaign goals.
Cultivate partnerships with national, state, and local groups to grow support for campaign goals, including groups advocating for communities of color, public health, social justice, and anti-hunger.
Develop well-written, pursuasive materials, such as reports, fact sheets, letters, testimony, talking points, and social media. Refine and develop messaging for state and local policy initiatives.
Represent CSPI at meetings, conferences, in coalitions and on partner committees, in testimony before state and local legislatures and executive agencies, and in the press.
Direct management responsibility of one policy associate, including support of team member’s professional and technical development.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate would possess:
MS, MPH, JD, or other advanced degree and at least 5 years of relevant experience in policy/advocacy campaigns or community organizing.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including strong public speaking skills. Ability to produce high quality written materials.
A strong commitment to fostering a positive, collaborative, and strategic organizational culture and the ability to supervise, motivate and evaluate staff.
Ability to organize and manage innovative, effective policy campaigns, operating on deadlines and as part of a rigorous and fast-paced team.
Commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion at the intersection of public health and social justice and ability to promote it throughout the work.
Ability to build strong relationships with diverse partners, including stakeholders representing communities of color, social justice, and public health.
Demonstrated interest in equity, advocacy, and public health.
Excellent judgment and consistent professionalism, with the ability to take responsibility for multiple projects and deadlines.
Proficiency with MSOffice applications, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Familiarity with social media and other web-based advocacy tools.
Ability to work additional hours as needed.
To Apply
Please email your application materials, which should include a cover letter indicating relevant experience and interest, and résumé to hr@cspinet.org . Include “CampMgrSD-HL” in the subject line.

American Oversight is seeking an extraordinary candidate to coordinate a major new initiative to bring our investigative watchdog expertise to bear on the problem of voter suppression and the corruption of democracy at the state level.
American Oversight uses state and federal open records requests, backed by aggressive litigation, to expose corruption in government. Now, in addition to American Oversight’s extensive federal anti-corruption mission, we are using the same tools to uncover the paper trail left behind when politicians, activist groups, and dark money conspire to entrench themselves in power by limiting who can vote. Secrecy makes their efforts possible. The evidence we uncover will inform the public, support civil rights litigation, and augment policy advocacy for change.
As State Program Coordinator, you will be American Oversight’s internal and external hub for anti-voter suppression efforts, coordinating our litigators, investigators, and communicators with like-minded organizations and actors. You will help us identify investigative targets and find ways to put the evidence we obtain to use for change.
An ideal candidate is an excellent organizer and relationship builder, a sponge for information, and a master at distilling complex or voluminous information to make it compelling. A typical day will involve tracking the news, digging into substance with American Oversight staff, reviewing documents, and staying in close contact with partner organizations at the state and federal levels. American Oversight currently is active in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, but is exploring expansion into new jurisdictions. In the future, American Oversight’s state-level work may expand beyond voter defense to other corruption issues.
The State Program Coordinator will work closely with American Oversight’s leadership to chart strategy and inform resource allocation decisions. At the same time, they will be close to the work, often jumping on opportunities as they arise to ensure maximum impact.
The position is located in downtown Washington, DC, and is easily accessible by multiple metro and bus lines.
RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop and manage upward and downward communications about the state program to keep everyone informed and working together.
Work with American Oversight management to coordinate efforts of American Oversight staff focused on state-based work.
Read widely to stay abreast of relevant news and identify information germane to existing investigations or potential new ones.
Cultivate relationships with other organizations at the state and national levels to identify potential lines of inquiry, understand local dynamics, and discover opportunities for impact.
Participate in the drafting and review of open records requests. Review documents obtained through open records requests.
Work with American Oversight’s investigations team and partner organizations to identify significant information in the documents we uncover.
Work with American Oversight’s communications and investigations teams as well as partner organizations to leverage and publicize finds and create messaging materials.
Represent American Oversight in meetings with coalition partners.
QUALIFICATIONS
Four or more years of experience in organizing or issue advocacy. Familiarity with working in coalitions or with partner organizations.
A strong foundation in voting rights issues preferred.
Excellent organizational and project management abilities.
Demonstrated people management experience.
Exceptional writing, research, and verbal communications skills.
Sound judgment and analysis.
Familiarity with open records laws or tools is helpful but not required.
A passion for details and for seeing the full puzzle from a handful of pieces.
An entrepreneurial spirit and passion for helping American Oversight build something new.
Comfortable in an evolving startup environment.
Ability to work effectively on multiple projects, balance priorities, and excel in a team-based, collegial environment is essential.
Spanish language skills are helpful but not required.
We believe the above qualifications do a good job describing the kind of candidate we are seeking; however, if you think you’re perfect for the job but don’t check every box, please apply and tell us why you’d be a great fit.

LCV’s work to protect and advocate for the environment is rooted in our commitment to racial, social and environmental justice.

The Data & Analytics Manager will work with the Campaigns, Government Affairs, Membership and Online Engagement and Development departments as well as the state LCVs to develop and oversee data and targeting related activities on issues and elections. We are seeking a strategic thinker who can help LCV and its sister organization, LCV Education Fund, utilize data and analytics to engage the public on environmental issues across the country and build support for environmental priorities.
Responsibilities :
Serve as the main point of contact for state league partner organizations with questions about voter files and targeting.
Assist state league partners in establishing program and targeting goals, including identifying and coordinating opportunities for program data analysis.

Overview
The BUILD Initiative (www.buildinitiative.org) envisions a time when all children reach their full potential; race, place, and income are no longer predictors of outcomes. The BUILD Initiative partners with state leaders to promote equitable child- and family-serving systems that result in young children thriving and learning.
BUILD is a national effort that advances state work on behalf of young children (prenatal-five), their families, and communities. BUILD staff partners with early childhood state leaders focused on early learning, health, mental health, and nutrition, child welfare, and family support and engagement to create the policies, infrastructure and cross-sector connections necessary for quality and equity. BUILD provides consultation, planning, and tailored implementation assistance, learning opportunities, resources, and cross-state peer exchanges. These efforts help state leaders improve and expand access to opportunities and promote equitable outcomes for our youngest children.
BUILD is a virtual organization. Staff members work from home offices. BUILD is a fiscally-sponsored project of TSNE MissionWorks (www.tsne.org) in Boston, MA.
ABOUT THE NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS (NCIT)
Funded through the Pritzker Children's Initiative, NCIT brings together national partners, early childhood leaders, philanthropy, policymakers and practitioners inside and outside state and local government to create and strengthen promising policies and programs, and share what works, so that more states and communities can support the healthy development of our youngest children.
When we support them in their earliest years, infants grow into healthy kids who are confident, empathetic, and ready for school and life—and our communities, workforce, and economy become stronger and more productive. That's why NCIT is committed to advancing the most promising prenatal-to-three policies and programs to create and expand systems of support for families—reaching every mother and child at or before birth—and increasing access to affordable, high-quality infant and toddler child care and learning environments in settings that meet the varied needs of families.
The BUILD Initiative has received funding from the Pritzker Children's Initiative (PCI) to develop a Capacity-Building Hub to support states to increase their programs and services to infants, toddlers, and their families who are furthest from opportunity. The Hub will offer consultation and support to assist PCI grantees and coalitions 1) build (or further develop) their public and private sector state and local teams; 2) clarify their shared visions; 3) identify gaps and opportunities in their states' efforts to support children prenatal to age three including racial and economic disparities and strategies to advance equity; 4) better understand their current financing and funding needs; 5) create and then execute action plans that seek to create a 25-percentage point reduction by 2023 in the gap between children and families served by high-quality programs and those in need and, by 2025, create a 50-percentage point decrease in the gap.
The Capacity-Building Hub Director will be a member of the BUILD staff team.
Responsibilities The Director of the Capacity-Building Hub is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the Capacity-Building Hub including meeting all the deliverables set forth in the Pritzker Children's Initiative grant.

Overview
The BUILD Initiative (www.buildinitiative.org) envisions a time when all children reach their full potential; race, place, and income are no longer predictors of outcomes. The BUILD Initiative partners with state leaders to promote equitable child- and family-serving systems that result in young children thriving and learning.
BUILD is a national effort that advances state work on behalf of young children (prenatal-five), their families, and communities. BUILD staff partners with early childhood state leaders focused on early learning, health, mental health, and nutrition, child welfare, and family support and engagement to create the policies, infrastructure and cross-sector connections necessary for quality and equity. BUILD provides consultation, planning, and tailored implementation assistance, learning opportunities, resources, and cross-state peer exchanges. These efforts help state leaders improve and expand access to opportunities and promote equitable outcomes for our youngest children.
BUILD is a virtual organization. Staff members work from home offices. BUILD is a fiscally-sponsored project of TSNE MissionWorks (www.tsne.org) in Boston, MA.
ABOUT THE NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS (NCIT)
Funded through the Pritzker Children's Initiative, NCIT brings together national partners, early childhood leaders, philanthropy, policymakers and practitioners inside and outside state and local government to create and strengthen promising policies and programs, and share what works, so that more states and communities can support the healthy development of our youngest children.
When we support them in their earliest years, infants grow into healthy kids who are confident, empathetic, and ready for school and life—and our communities, workforce, and economy become stronger and more productive. That's why NCIT is committed to advancing the most promising prenatal-to-three policies and programs to create and expand systems of support for families—reaching every mother and child at or before birth—and increasing access to affordable, high-quality infant and toddler child care and learning environments in settings that meet the varied needs of families.
The BUILD Initiative has received funding from the Pritzker Children's Initiative (PCI) to develop a Capacity-Building Hub to support states to increase their programs and services to infants, toddlers, and their families who are furthest from opportunity. The Hub will offer consultation and support to assist PCI grantees and coalitions 1) build (or further develop) their public and private sector state and local teams; 2) clarify their shared visions; 3) identify gaps and opportunities in their states' efforts to support children prenatal to age three including racial and economic disparities and strategies to advance equity; 4) better understand their current financing and funding needs; 5) create and then execute action plans that seek to create a 25-percentage point reduction by 2023 in the gap between children and families served by high-quality programs and those in need and, by 2025, create a 50-percentage point decrease in the gap.
The Capacity-Building Hub Director will be a member of the BUILD staff team.
