NARAL Pro-Choice America Seeks
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS DIRECTOR
Washington, DC
Organization Overview
As one of the nation’s leading pro-choice advocacy groups, NARAL Pro-Choice America is dedicated to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans, including abortion access.
Along with more than one million member activists from all 50 states and our network of state affiliates, NARAL works to guarantee that each woman has access to the full range of reproductive freedoms. This means we’re on the front lines in the fight to expand access to abortion, make contraception more affordable, prohibit discrimination against pregnant women, and ensure all parents have access to paid leave. In recognition of our work defending the constitutional right to abortion, Fortune Magazine rated NARAL as “one of the top 10 advocacy groups in America.”
At NARAL, we don’t operate or litigate; we organize and mobilize. Working together, we push our friends to be bolder, lift up the champions fighting with us on the front line for true reproductive freedom, and we shine a spotlight of accountability on bad actors that work to impose their ideological agenda on others.
Position Overview
As a member of the senior management team, the Government Relations Director will work collaboratively with NARAL leaders and other department directors to achieve our mission.
The Director will develop and implement new strategies to use governmental levers to change the national debate on reproductive rights; use policy advocacy to build power; work toward better policy outcomes in Washington and the states; and defend against anti-choice legislation and regulation.
The Director will lead the government relations team in building and leveraging strategic relationships and integrate its work with the campaign, political and communications teams.
The Government Relations Director will be a campaigner at heart and a strong manager, with an eye for innovative ways to use policy to create solutions.
Responsibilities
Work with senior leadership to develop NARAL’s near- and long-term strategies to use governmental levers to change the national debate on reproductive rights.
Build and leverage strong strategic relationships at the federal and state levels, and direct team members in doing the same; represent NARAL with policy-makers and their staff, as well as the staff and leadership of government agencies and departments.

QUALIFICATIONS
This Position Has A Positive Education Requirement. Therefore, all applicants MUST provide a copy of their transcripts to support their education claims. Since this position requires you to have successfully completed a specific amount of semesters (or equivalent) in specific fields, your transcripts will be reviewed to ensure that you meet the requirement in full.

Unofficial transcripts are acceptable; however, if selected, you will be required to produce original transcripts.
BASIC QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, FISH AND WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, GS-0401

Combination of education and experience that consisted of courses equivalent to a major (24 semester hours) in fields such as those shown in response A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education. The quality of the combination of education and experience must be sufficient to demonstrate that you possess the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform work in the occupation, and must be comparable to that normally acquired through the successful completion of a full 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree with a major in the appropriate field.

GS-11:
A. One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in the public or private sectors).

B. Successful completion of a Ph.D. (or have three full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a Ph.D.) in a field directly-related to Fish and Wildlife Biology. Three years of graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours that your graduate school has determined to represent three academic years of full-time study.

Then, divide your number of graduate semester hours in excess of the first 36 hours by the number 18 (or the number your school uses to represent one year of graduate education). Divide months of qualifying specialized experience by 12. These two numbers must equal 100 percent when combined. NOTE: To qualify under this option you must submit transcripts to verify your education and include proof of your experience in the text of your resume.
GS-12:
One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in the public or private sectors).

NOTE: To qualify under this option, your resume must contain sufficient detail to prove you have one year experience performing these duties.
IMPORTANT: Your resume must clearly describe how you meet all aspects of the specialized experience, defined above, or you will be found not qualified for this position.
