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

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.

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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Together, they have engaged communities across the country to take action on critical issues – from fighting for working families, to advancing women’s healthcare, to protecting the environment and more – and mobilized millions of voters to turn out on Election Day.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proven leader to partner with the country’s leading progressive organizations to secure victories in 2020 and to serve as a member of the senior leadership team at a high-impact organization that will play a critical role in the 2020 elections.

Client Overview
America Votes works with over 400 state and national partner organizations to advance progressive policies, win elections and protect every American’s right to vote.
Since 2003, America Votes has been the common link between many of the largest and most influential issue and membership organizations in the country, serving as the coordination hub of the progressive community. America Votes’ work has brought together a wide range of causes and built a unified coalition that has transformed how the progressive community works. Together, they have engaged communities across the country to take action on critical issues – from fighting for working families, to advancing women’s healthcare, to protecting the environment and more – and mobilized millions of voters to turn out on Election Day.
America Votes works year-round nationally and in more than 20 key states, acting as a permanent campaign to continually advance progressive causes. America Votes provides a range of services to partners, including strategic planning, advocacy and electoral campaign coordination, data tools and targeting services, and on-the-ground leadership in key states.
America Votes also works to improve election systems and fight back against efforts to suppress voters, taking the lead throughout their state network to coordinate and execute advocacy campaigns with allies to reform elections and modernize the voting process.
America Votes is also committed to developing long-term roadmaps and setting critical goals for states in 2020. With an eye on redistricting and the consequences of extreme conservative gerrymanders, they are essential to building progressive power in the states, session-by-session and election-by-election.
America Votes and their partner organizations are at the heart of the progressive movement’s effort to win elections. In 2020, the America Votes coalition will deploy their largest-ever voter engagement and mobilization effort which will target millions of voters in key states.
Position Overview America Votes is seeking a talented leader with a history of successfully executing issue and electoral campaign programs as well as building strong partnerships and coalitions to serve as National Political Director. The Director leads the ongoing engagement and high-level program coordination of 60+ national partner organizations. Working collaboratively with partners, the Director will ensure programs and elections advance the shared long-term vision for progressive change. The Director will identify coalition-wide priorities and opportunities and develop a strategy to coordinate national and state-based partners’ programs, building a seamless and unique connection between state and national efforts.
The ideal candidate will have superb interpersonal skills, with an impressive history of forging strong relationships with multiple stakeholders and the ability to build trust and respect with partner organizations.
This is an exciting opportunity for a proven leader to partner with the country’s leading progressive organizations to secure victories in 2020 and to serve as a member of the senior leadership team at a high-impact organization that will play a critical role in the 2020 elections.

The ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, economic status, national origin, immigration status, incarceration or record of arrest or conviction.
