Title: Executive Director
Status: Full time, exempt
Salary: $90,000-$105,000 depending on experience
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon (NPCO) seeks a dynamic and skilled Executive Director to lead the organization with intention and in partnership to sustain and continue to achieve expansive and lasting reproductive freedom in Oregon.
Since its inception in 1977, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon has been a leader in the reproductive freedom movement -- in Oregon, and nationally. We have fought to protect and expand the legal rights and true access for everybody to choose if, when, and how they want to start, raise and support their family. Now, we aim for continuous improvement in centering communities most impacted, being meaningful and unapologetic about our engagement, and building capacity across the state. Transformational work must occur in coordination and coalition with partners from underrepresented and diverse communities and community-of-color-led organizations in order to address intersectionality. In this critical time, we need to know when to lead from the front, and when to step back, so that our powerful cross-movement work can grow stronger, bolder and more expansive than ever.
We are looking for a leader who has the passion, drive and know-how to take us there.
In this role, your vision is fueled by your passion for our mission. You are excited (not stymied) by our multifaceted nonprofit (c3, c4, PAC) organizational structure. You have proven ideas about building, growing and leading a team; and the acumen to balance long-term strategic plans with the immediate day-to-day intricacies of a small nonprofit, along with the programmatic operations of a statewide powerhouse. You are ready to fundraise, work in politics, interface with the media - and have the skills to navigate all these systems with diplomacy, tact and flexibility. You demonstrate your commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion without jargon and with concrete action. You can act fast, with urgency; and you are practiced at the kind of slow, engaged listening that builds authentic partnerships.
While you will be identified as the public face, the spokesperson, and the organizational leader, you’re not in this alone. You have a team -- paid and volunteer -- that is similarly committed to the mission and associated activities.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon staff has experienced, new, and vacant positions -- allowing you to rely on a wealth of experience, the ability to shape plans with new vision, and the freedom to build out the team in a way that best supports your vision.
Of course, in a nonprofit organization, you report to the board of directors. NPCO’s volunteer leadership at this level is comprised of a c3 board (Foundation), a c4 (Affiliate), and a PAC -- collectively, a badass group of pro-choice champions who want to see you succeed and are ready to help you shine.
13,000 statewide members engage with NPCO in a multitude of different ways -- volunteering in the community, attending events, showing their pro-choice pride in action and through their personal/public media, and giving philanthropically. Our appreciation is deep and broad. And with 7-in-10 voters agreeing that Roe should remain the law of the land, we seek to find ways to further engage and grow our membership.
Our partner organizations and our connections with key decision makers help us build coalitions that truly allow us to do our best work. Working as a team, we can all contribute our unique expertise and come out stronger together.
Here are the brass tacks: The Executive Director is responsible for the programmatic, financial and administrative management of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon and its affiliated organizations. In addition to overall responsibility and implementation of organizational goals, programs and day-to-day operations, and an annual operating budget of approximately $1Million, the Executive Director is expected to play a strong, visible, and strategic role in building and promoting statewide relationships among elected leaders, coalition partners, members, funders and the communities we serve throughout Oregon. The ED is the primary liaison and support for the Boards of Directors, and recruits and supervises a talented staff team of approximately 5 full- and part-time staff and consultants.
We seek a visionary, a creative problem-solver, a fun and compassionate connector, a savvy diplomat, a proven listener, a trusted leader, a responsible pacesetter who can leverage NARAL’s rich history and strategic plan with our Board, staff, and partners to develop and implement an inspiring vision to propel NPCO ever forward. If this is you, or someone you know, please check out the full position description and apply today.
Position Details, Compensation and Benefits
This is a full-time, permanent position based out of our Portland office. Although hours will fluctuate depending on the time of year, the Executive Director position is a very demanding job, which will regularly require evening (and sometimes weekend) work.
Salary: $90,000-$105,000 depending on experience
NPCO provides a comprehensive benefits package, including medical and dental coverage (with 100% of the premium covered by the employer), a 401k retirement savings plan, a transportation stipend of $100/month, 9 paid holidays (plus the six days between December 25th and January 1st), paid vacation (accruing) of 15 days per year in the first three years, and increasing thereafter, a flexible work environment/schedule, and(!) the chance to work in a fun, smart, connected organization where you have the opportunity to make real and positive change in the world.

NPCO’s volunteer leadership at this level is comprised of a c3 board (Foundation), a c4 (Affiliate), and a PAC -- collectively, a badass group of pro-choice champions who want to see you succeed and are ready to help you shine.
13,000 statewide members engage with NPCO in a multitude of different ways -- volunteering in the community, attending events, showing their pro-choice pride in action and through their personal/public media, and giving philanthropically. Our appreciation is deep and broad. And with 7-in-10 voters agreeing that Roe should remain the law of the land, we seek to find ways to further engage and grow our membership.
Our partner organizations and our connections with key decision makers help us build coalitions that truly allow us to do our best work. Working as a team, we can all contribute our unique expertise and come out stronger together.
Here are the brass tacks: The Executive Director is responsible for the programmatic, financial and administrative management of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon and its affiliated organizations. In addition to overall responsibility and implementation of organizational goals, programs and day-to-day operations, and an annual operating budget of approximately $1Million, the Executive Director is expected to play a strong, visible, and strategic role in building and promoting statewide relationships among elected leaders, coalition partners, members, funders and the communities we serve throughout Oregon. The ED is the primary liaison and support for the Boards of Directors, and recruits and supervises a talented staff team of approximately 5 full- and part-time staff and consultants.
We seek a visionary, a creative problem-solver, a fun and compassionate connector, a savvy diplomat, a proven listener, a trusted leader, a responsible pacesetter who can leverage NARAL’s rich history and strategic plan with our Board, staff, and partners to develop and implement an inspiring vision to propel NPCO ever forward. If this is you, or someone you know, please check out the full position description and apply today.
Position Details, Compensation and Benefits

Salary: $90,000-$105,000 depending on experience

Center for Science in the Public Interest
1220 L Street NW 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 over 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.
CSPI has four open positions for Community Organizers to work on cross-functional teams to mobilize organizations, health professionals, and the public to support national, state and local policies and corporate campaigns to improve the U.S. food system. 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.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Work with policy team and coalition partners to implement campaign goals and strategies.
Identify, build meaningful relationships with, and engage activists and partners in impacted communities to influence decision-makers and advance food and nutrition policies.
Build and strengthen coalitions, grasstops support, digital members, and social media followers.
Develop, implement, and measure the success of a variety of engagement strategies, including events, meetings between community members and policymakers, briefings, conferences, webinars, email campaigns, and tweet chats.
Organize and participate in field activities as needed including press events, rallies, and hearings.
Research, write, and design letters, fact sheets, social media content, email action alerts, and other advocacy and web‐based materials to urge companies and policymakers to strengthen food and nutrition policies. Help keep web content updated.
Schedule meetings and calls, manage list serves, taking notes and tracking action items from meetings.
Other organizational and programmatic support tasks as assigned.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate would possess:
At least two years of grassroots or political organizing experience.
Experience in an office environment and demonstrated interest in equity, nutrition, public health, or public policy.
Interest and commitment to CSPI’s mission and work.
Excellent organizational skills and strong attention to detail.
Ability to work as part of a cross-disciplinary team in a collegial manner.
Commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion at the intersection of public health and social justice and ability to promote it throughout the work.
Strong research, communications, and writing skills, with the ability to write and format correspondence, fact sheets, and other materials. Ability to understand and teach others about issues.
Experience training, motivating, or working with community members or organizations.
Ability to work independently, with supervision, and as part of a team, and to multi-task and prioritize work.
Proficiency with MSOffice applications, including Word and PowerPoint.
To Apply
Please send your application materials, which should include a cover letter indicating relevant experience and interest, and résumé to: hr@cspinet.org . Please include “Org-hire” in the subject line.

Qualifications

2-3 years of relevant experience in coalition building or grassroots organizing;
The ability to communicate clearly and respectfully with a range of external stakeholders and internal teams;
Strong group facilitation skills, including but not limited to conflict resolution and consensus-building;

Understanding of regional planning and agency structures and decision-making processes;

Center for Science in the Public Interest
1220 L Street Northwest, Washington, DC, USA
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 and national policies such as 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 over 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 State and Local Operations Director to spark and support initiatives by state and local organizations, policymakers, and the public to build synergy and national momentum for food and nutrition policies, especially in historically disenfranchised communities that experience health disparities and are disproportionately targeted by unhealthy beverage and food marketing. This is a senior policy leadership role that reports directly to the Vice President for Nutrition, and is located in CSPI’s Washington, DC office.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Direct day-to-day activities of cross-functional teams including the engagement manager, policy associates, and organizers. Manage a cohesive team united around achieving multiyear policy goals. Support team members’ professional and technical development.
Help develop and implement CSPI’s state and local policy strategy, facilitate synergy between state and local issues, and refine and develop messaging for state and local policy issues to support CSPI’s campaign strategies.
Work with organizations and coalitions, mobilize grassroots (including through digital advocacy platforms), coordinate and support state and local lobbying efforts, and use social media and press outreach in support of campaign goals.
Cultivate partnerships with communities of color, public health, social justice, anti-hunger, and other national, state, and local groups to grow support for policies.
Represent CSPI at conferences, meetings, in coalitions and on partner committees, in testimony before state and local legislatures and executive agencies, and in the press.
Develop, monitor, and manage state and local plans and budget, in collaboration with senior policy leadership team, to ensure the program stays on budget. Responsible for timely and accurate reporting of all grant-related activities in collaboration with the development and finance departments.
Qualifications
At least 10 years of senior leadership/management experience in policy/advocacy campaigns and organizing.
Staff management experience including ability to supervise, motivate and evaluate staff, and a strong commitment to fostering a positive, collaborative, and strategic organizational culture.
Extensive experience with innovative, effective campaigns and organizing.
Commitment and track record of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion at the intersection of public health and social justice and ability to promote it throughout the work and in the workplace.
Proven track record of building strong relationships with multiple stakeholders in a persuasive, credible, and professional manner.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including public speaking experience. Ability to produce high quality written materials.
Excellent judgment and consistent professionalism, with the ability to take responsibility for multiple projects and deadlines.
Intellectual agility and the ability to operate on deadlines and as part of a team.
Ability to work as part of a cross-disciplinary team in a collegial manner.
Budget management and grant-reporting experience.
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 “StateDir-ULJB” in the subject line.
CSPI offers a generous and comprehensive benefits package along with a healthy working environment. CSPI is an equal opportunity employer. Minorities, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Location: Warrenton, Va.
Job Classification: Full Time Non-Exempt
Geographic Focus: The Upper Rappahannock watershed -- which covers Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison, counties and parts of Fauquier, Greene and Orange counties within PEC’s service area. A specific focus of this position will be to execute a multi-faceted land and water conservation initiative within the Upper Rappahannock watershed.
Introduction
The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that has proudly promoted and protected the natural resources, rural economy, history and beauty of the Virginia Piedmont since 1972. PEC empowers residents to protect what makes the Piedmont a wonderful place, and works with citizens to conserve land, protect air and water quality, celebrate historic resources, build smart transportation networks, promote sustainable energy choices, restore wildlife habitat and improve people’s access to nature.
The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) is seeking to hire a Coordinator to conduct and assist with PEC’s land use policy and land conservation activities in PEC’s nine county service area, particularly communities in PEC’s service area that are within the Upper Rappahannock watershed.
Description of Position
The Coordinator will be responsible for executing a diverse portfolio of land conservation, natural resource restoration, land use policy, and civic engagement efforts that further PEC’s mission. While the Coordinator will work throughout the Upper Rappahannock watershed, the successful candidate will play a key role in engaging a broad set of partners and other allied organizations in executing a multi-faceted initiative to promote land conservation, water quality improvements, natural habitat protection and restoration, and public access opportunities along the watershed’s two primary tributaries, the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers. A particular focus of the initiative is to develop and demonstrate a replicable model for conserving land that supports working farms in the target area. Examples of activities include:
Developing and implementing land protection strategies through (1) identification of key at-risk properties, landscapes, and resources; (2) outreach and education to landowners, farmers, and professional advisers on conservation tools such as voluntary conservation easement donations, Purchase of Development Rights programs, and other conservation programs; and (3) coordination with other public and private partners to further conservation in the Piedmont.
Initiating, leading, or participating in local community based conservation efforts, such as historic preservation, water quality improvement, habitat restoration, and/or agricultural land management demonstration projects.
