Position Overview and Responsibilities
USofCare is seeking a Director of Federal Policy to join our team of passionate, adaptable, accountable, innovative problem-solvers dedicated to making our health care system better for all people. This position reports to the Senior Director of Policy and External Affairs.
The Director of Federal Policy leads the federal policy vision, strategy, and portfolio of issues for the organization’s advocacy work within Congress, the Administration, and other national stakeholders. The Director publicly represents USofCare’s federal policy and advocacy work to external audiences, including federal lawmakers, regulators, media, and partners.
The Director works with senior leaders and staff across the organization to develop and execute on the organization’s federal policy agenda. The Director works with a high degree of independence to chart out federal policy positioning for the organization across an array of issue areas, including coverage, value-based care and payment reform, and affordability and pricing across the health care system (e.g., hospital consolidation, enhanced premium tax credits, etc.). USofCare’s policy vision and agenda is propelled by listening to people and scaling state reforms for federal uptake.
The Director develops and implements the organization’s federal policy record, assesses opportunities for influencing legislation and regulation, and produces a wide range of content to advance the organization’s mission through federal policy work and advocacy including drafting legislative text for Hill audiences, regulatory comments, and offering Technical Assistance (TA) to federal policymakers. The Director leads research and development of internal and external analyses and evaluation of policy proposals, authoring memos, reports, presentations, blogs, fact sheets and other briefing documents, comment letters and other public content, in many instances in coordination with state policy affairs staff from the organization.

Furthermore, as an organization that focuses on building and maintaining strategic partnerships and coalitions, the Director plays an integral role in building and sustaining meaningful partnerships with key allies and stakeholders across the national policy and advocacy landscape, as well as with current and potential funders, and will represent the organization at various stakeholder tables and meetings.
The ideal Director candidate is deeply-steeped in federal health care policy and brings a record of prior policymaking success with experience having done this work in the legislative and/or executive branches of federal government. The Director is adept at making connections across the organization; integrating our findings from listening research and state advocacy campaigns into our federal policy vision and agenda. The Director identifies trends, best practices, opportunities, and solutions that help achieve organizational goals. The ideal Director candidate models the highest standards of integrity and communication both internally with our teams and externally with policy audiences, partners and funders. The Director is highly self-motivated and creative, with the ability to work in a start-up atmosphere with evolving priorities and is willing to pitch in on other duties as needed.

You hold at least 10 years of professional experience in health care policy at the federal level, including service in a legislative or executive branch role;
You possess deep knowledge of a wide range of federal, state, and private health insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, and policy areas related to increasing access to care, lowering costs, and eliminating health inequities;
You demonstrate keen political sensibilities combined with analytic/policy skills and an ability to “see the bigger picture” and federal landscape, and are eager to build out the organization’s visibility in elite health policy circles;
You understand and are experienced at engaging constructively with stakeholders representing diverse political and philosophical values and policy goals and you are able to build and maintain positive, professional relationships with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders;
You are comfortable briefing and advising principal-level leadership on policy, strategy, and positioning and preparing them for engagement with various stakeholder audiences;
You are able to work independently and use sound judgment and critical thinking skills and have demonstrated success in taking streams of work from idea to completion in a collaborative environment and with input from others;
You take pride in having meticulous attention to detail and proofreading, demonstrate superb writing, analytical and research skills, and possess excellent time management skills with the capacity to proactively navigate multiple deadlines and competing priorities;

Climate Jobs National Resource Center
Remote, Wisconsin, USA
The Climate Jobs National Resource Center (CJNRC) is a labor-led organization at the forefront of the fight to combat the climate crisis and reverse racial and economic inequality.
CJNRC is the hub of a growing network of union-led, state-based climate jobs coalitions, providing unions with the information, support, and expertise to lead on climate action. The coalitions we support are organizing to build a clean energy economy at the scale and pace that climate science demands, create and expand access to good union jobs in under-resourced communities, and advance equity.
CJNRC and our network of coalitions are at the leading edge of both workers’ rights and climate action, two defining issues of our time. The coalitions have helped pass the nation’s most ambitious climate policies, won the strongest labor and equity standards for clean energy workers in the country, and built winning campaigns for worker-centered and equity-focused climate investments and good union jobs that will transform the future of the US economy.
To advance this crucial work, CJNRC is seeking a Wisconsin-based organizer to drive our efforts in Wisconsin to educate the public about the full potential of the historic federal climate investments enacted in recent years, including most recently the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These historic legislative achievements could support over $3 trillion of new investment. These investments can support good union jobs and expand inclusive opportunity while building the new renewable energy infrastructure and creating the momentum to go further and do more.
This position is based in the State of Wisconsin, requires in-person work, and reports to CJNRC’s Wisconsin State Director. The Wisconsin Lead Organizer will work closely with CJNRC’s staff and with state partners and allied organizations. The successful candidate is an experienced and visionary campaigner with a deep commitment to building the labor movement and fighting the climate crisis who can take initiative and work in highly collaborative environments.
The Wisconsin Lead Organizer is a full time, one-year term position. Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
The Lead Organizer will focus on identifying, researching, and tracking priority clean energy projects in Wisconsin and building a comprehensive body of field-based data on those projects.
The position will work with Wisconsin unions to assess the projects, and to gain access to the projects and members working on the projects for purposes of exploring potential communications about the creation of high quality union jobs in clean energy industries that deliver tangible, economic and human impacts.
The Lead Organizer will work with Wisconsin unions to identify “stuck” union IRA-supported projects and organize in support of getting the projects moving, through successful local siting, zoning, permitting, and other policy, regulatory, and/or public opinion fights.
Depending on the need, responsibilities may include organizing affiliates and allies to drive support for projects, catalyzing campaign activity on employers and channeling technical support from unions, CJNRC, and other national allies.
The Organizer will work with the supervisor to develop, assess, and recommend additional campaign, advocacy and public education initiatives as appropriate.
Working conditions:
This is a full-time position based in Wisconsin, and it requires extensive in-person work. Long hours will be required on occasion. The position will require travel. CJNRC follows public health guidance related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Compensation:
The salary range for this position is $90,000-98,200. CJNRC offers an excellent benefits package that includes employer-paid premiums for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for full-time staff and their qualified dependents, a voluntary dependent care assistance program, and generous time off.
To Apply:
Send application with Resume and Cover Letter as a single document to: hiring@cjnrc.org with the subject line “WI Lead Organizer.”
This position is open until filled; however, the posting/acceptance of applications may close at any time. Job descriptions do not cover or contain a comprehensive listing of every activity or responsibility that is required.
CJNRC is committed to equal opportunity, and encourages applicants of all ages, races, sexual orientations, genders, national origins, ethnicities, religions, and veteran status. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds and experiences related to our core organizational values and objectives to apply.

Job Description
River Sustainability Director, Cahaba River Society
Birmingham, AL
Starting Salary Range $48,000- $55,000
Application Due September 8, 2023
Position Summary:
The Cahaba River Society’s River Sustainability Director leads policy advocacy to protect and restore water quality, freshwater biodiversity, and drinking water sources for Birmingham and central Alabama communities. The position supports communities to improve best practices in stormwater and green infrastructure design and strengthen water resource policies, regulations, management and compliance, to reduce urban impacts such as pollution and flooding, improve climate resilience, promote water equity, and increase healthy greenspaces and river access opportunities for all.
The River Sustainability Director serves as a resource to local government officials, citizens, businesses, development professionals, and partner organizations, leading with collaboration and education, relying on river science, and advancing values of equity, diversity and inclusion.
About Cahaba River Society and our river:
Cahaba River Society (CRS) leads our community to restore and protect the Cahaba River watershed and its rich diversity of life. The diverse lives depending on the Cahaba include the people of Birmingham and central Alabama as well as the River’s globally significant biodiversity of freshwater wildlife. The Cahaba, the heart of “America’s Amazon,” has more fish species per mile than any other river in North America, a similar rich diversity of other river life, and is a spectacular, natural recreational resource.
Because our river is a major source of the Birmingham area’s drinking water, our service area - the “peopleshed” of those whose lives are affected by the River - is larger than the watershed, including Jefferson, Shelby, Bibb, Perry and Dallas County, stretching from Birmingham to Alabama’s rural Black Belt region.
Through collaboration, river restoration advocacy, and bringing people to the River for hands-on education, guided recreational opportunities, the arts, and volunteer stewardship projects, CRS has been building community support and making a lasting positive impact on the health of this valuable resource for 35 years. Learn more about the full range of our goals, partners, programs and impact at www.cahabariversociety.org .
Responsibilities:
Lead CRS strategy to promote Green Infrastructure and Low Impact Development approaches in development. Pursue policy and regulatory advocacy, best practices education, and watershed planning to reduce urban stormwater impacts, the leading cause of damage to Cahaba water quality, water supply, and habitat.
Collaborate with partners and stakeholders to identify opportunities and develop plans for stormwater retrofit projects that will reduce flooding and pollution impacts to the River and enhance community greenspace.
Proactively promote and respond to policy and regulatory opportunities from government agencies on water quality issues, stormwater management practices, water and wastewater infrastructure, land use and development practices, and other policies to restore the Cahaba River.
Evaluate significant development proposals and collaborate with developers, local government officials, and citizens to promote best practices to protect the ecological health of the Cahaba River, mitigate impacts to aquatic wildlife, and provide recreation access and habitat restoration.
Assure that considerations of equity, diversity and inclusion are advanced by CRS policies, recommendations, and decisions and guide our collaboration with partners, where we work, and who we serve.
Assure that CRS policies, recommendations and decisions are firmly seated in the best available science. Communicate river science to decision-makers and the public in ways that are engaging and inform policies and practices.
Respond to pollution events in partnership with riverkeepers by working with responsible parties and empowering citizens to address them.
Communicate with the public and media and give presentations before decision-makers (for example, city councils, county commissions, agency staff, development professionals) and civic groups to build understanding and support for CRS’ vision and strategies.
Supporting Functions:
Support other program areas in team with the staff, including youth and adult education and recreation outings on the River, volunteer habitat restoration, fundraising, and events.
Staff and Board relationships:
The River Sustainability Director is supervised by and works collaboratively with the Executive Director. CRS staff members work closely with members of the CRS Board of Directors in their areas of expertise. This position staffs committees of the Board of Directors, as lead staff for Policy and Science Committees, and also participates in Stewardship and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committees. This position occasionally supervises interns.
Qualifications:
Undergraduate degree and 3 years of experience in fields related to environmental management/science/policy/law, environmental engineering, sustainable development, urban planning, landscape architecture, political science, natural resource management, or field biology is required. Advanced degree in one of these fields is desirable.
Strengths in strategic program development, collaboration, and self-directed work are essential.
Skills in research and in public speaking and written communications that are clear, visionary, convincing, and pitched for a range of audiences are essential.
A familiarity with the natural history of the Cahaba River, its aquatic wildlife, and urban impacts to freshwater systems is desirable.
Experience in local, state and federal government regulatory processes and governmental relations is desirable.
Experience with GIS is desirable.
Part of the fun of this job is occasional time spent on the River, assessing river habitat, investigating pollution sources, and participating in educational, recreational, and stewardship outings. Capabilities to participate in canoe trips together with other staff, or interest and ability to learn, is desirable.
Salary and Benefits:
Starting Salary Range $48,000- $55,000. Salary is negotiable based on qualifications. CRS pays full cost of single-rate health insurance (currently $5.9k value), or this amount can be applied to family rate. We offer low cost dental, vision, disability, and life insurance and a 403B retirement investment / matching program. Flexible work hours, hybrid office/home work, generous vacation and leave policies. We invest in our team by funding professional development and training.
Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Exempt. This a professional, salaried position with evening and weekend activities commonly required, offset by flexibility in required office time.

Unite America seeks a full-time Partnerships Director. This team member will be responsible for overseeing a significant share of the Unite America investment portfolio; this will include liaising closely with local, state, and national grantees to identify and vet grantmaking opportunities, provide strategic support and accountability, and develop programming and resources to serve our partners’ needs. This position offers the chance to engage in a diversified strategy to win reforms at all levels of government with legislation, ballot measures, litigation, and partners who believe in putting voters first.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving the nation’s major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 25-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized tens of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in New York City, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “primary problem;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
THE ROLE
The Partnerships Director will primarily be accountable for working with Unite America Fund grantees. The Unite America Fund is actively invested in more than 85 organizations working to reform and protect democracy at all levels of government.

In addition to providing support to our grantees, the role will include building strategic partnerships across our field, stakeholder engagement, and liaising with other Unite America departments to share information and solicit input, including our Advocacy and Movement, Marketing and Communications, Development, and Operations teams.
The Partnerships Director will report to the Sr. Director of Policy and Partnerships. Ideally, the team-member would be based in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but candidates from other geographies will be considered and remote work is a possibility. This is a full-time role with benefits.

Unite America seeks a full-time Colorado Political Director. This position is responsible for managing the organization’s advocacy, state affairs and government relations program in Colorado, primarily focused on building broad cross-partisan coalitions to adopt, implement, and defend pro-voter electoral reforms in the state. This position offers the chance to engage in a sophisticated strategy to support candidates, legislation, ballot initiatives, and partners who believe in putting voters first.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving our major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 20+ person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating, and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized 10s of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “ primary problem ;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. An inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.

Manage comprehensive Voters First Colorado program through electoral, legislative, coalition, and ballot initiatives.
Help create and execute a comprehensive advocacy strategy, including drafting, lobbying, and passing legislation in partnership with contract lobbyists, partners, and other Voters First Project staff.

Assist with development and management of cross-team and cross-organization programs and projects, including state communications plans and fundraising strategies.
Represent the Voters First Project at events and in partnerships consistent with our organization’s values.
Keep the team apprised of important updates related to the Colorado program, including electoral, legislative, and movement to support marketing, development, communications, political, and other needs.
