League of Conservation Voters
State Equity and Policy Director
League of Conservation Voters Flexible
Title: State Equity Policy Director Department: State Capacity Building Status: Exempt Reports to: Senior Director, State Policy and Advocacy Positions Reporting to this Position: None Location: Flexible Union Position: Yes Job Classification Level: F Salary Range (depending on experience): $88,000 - $132,000 General Description: LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections. Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is a powerful national network with deeply rooted, and far-reaching influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are unmatched in our ability to ensure meaningful action on our key issues. We aim to bring people and communities together across racial, geographic, political, religious, economic and other differences toward collective goals instead of dividing us from one another. In 2018, LCV and our more than 30 state affiliates, together, the Conservation Voter Movement (CVM), launched the Clean Energy for All (CEFA) campaign to equitably move the U.S. to 100% clean energy. Through CEFA, the Conservation Voter Movement has successfully translated growing grassroots energy into a movement that demands our leaders respond with the urgency and vision necessary to solve climate change including winning commitments to transition to 100% clean energy from nearly 1400 successful state and local candidates. We have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to translate those commitments into clean energy progress in 23 states—13 of which have enacted significant statewide clean energy priorities. These victories are creating upward pressure where we have a historic opportunity to shape a just and progressive economic recovery that aggressively tackles the climate crisis, creates good, family-sustaining union jobs, confronts the legacy of systemic racism and toxic pollution in frontline communities, and ensures that communities of color benefit from equitable, targeted, and community-driven investments in the transition to a clean energy economy.

Title: State Equity Policy Director Department: State Capacity Building Status: Exempt Reports to: Senior Director, State Policy and Advocacy Positions Reporting to this Position: None Location: Flexible Union Position: Yes Job Classification Level: F Salary Range (depending on experience): $88,000 - $132,000 General Description: LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections. Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is a powerful national network with deeply rooted, and far-reaching influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are unmatched in our ability to ensure meaningful action on our key issues. We aim to bring people and communities together across racial, geographic, political, religious, economic and other differences toward collective goals instead of dividing us from one another. In 2018, LCV and our more than 30 state affiliates, together, the Conservation Voter Movement (CVM), launched the Clean Energy for All (CEFA) campaign to equitably move the U.S. to 100% clean energy. Through CEFA, the Conservation Voter Movement has successfully translated growing grassroots energy into a movement that demands our leaders respond with the urgency and vision necessary to solve climate change including winning commitments to transition to 100% clean energy from nearly 1400 successful state and local candidates. We have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to translate those commitments into clean energy progress in 23 states—13 of which have enacted significant statewide clean energy priorities. These victories are creating upward pressure where we have a historic opportunity to shape a just and progressive economic recovery that aggressively tackles the climate crisis, creates good, family-sustaining union jobs, confronts the legacy of systemic racism and toxic pollution in frontline communities, and ensures that communities of color benefit from equitable, targeted, and community-driven investments in the transition to a clean energy economy.

Endangered Species Policy Advocate
WildEarth Guardians Denver, CO preferred, potentially flexible
Are you a Guardian for wildlife, great and small, across the Western US?  WildEarth Guardians (Guardians) seeks a full-time Endangered Species Policy Advocate (Advocate) for the Wildlife Program to serve as our expert on the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as well as on key species who rely upon the ESA’s protections for recovery. The Advocate will use their legal and policy acumen to defend and strengthen the ESA – one of the strongest environmental tools available to stem the extinction crisis and protect habitat critical to imperiled wildlife. The Advocate will also be on the frontlines of the fight for the well-being of iconic western species such as grizzly bears, sage grouse, wolverine, yellow-billed cuckoo, Joshua tree and more. In addition to policy and legislative engagement, the Advocate will invest their skills and creativity in preparing the factual foundation for and supporting lawsuits brought by our team of litigators to defend the ESA and protect persecuted species across the American West. ABOUT WILDEARTH GUARDIANS WildEarth Guardians (Guardians) is a west-wide nonprofit environmental advocacy organization headquartered in Santa Fe, NM with staff in Denver, CO, Missoula, MT, Boise, ID, Seattle, WA, Tucson, AZ, Portland, OR, and Sequim, WA. With a 30-year history of bold environmental action, we wage innovative legal, political, and grassroots campaigns to protect and restore wildlife, wild places, wild rivers, and community health in the American West. The Wildlife Program advocates for the intrinsic right of native species to thrive across the West, for biodiversity, for stronger protections for imperiled species and their habitat, and for coexistence between native carnivores and people. We work at the state and federal level to eliminate cruel and indiscriminate killing tools as well as to implement systemic change to ensure that wildlife is protected according to the best available science and respected according to a 21st century ethic of coexistence. POSITION SUMMARY The Endangered Species Policy Advocate works closely with the Wildlife Program Director to defend and uphold the ESA and protect key species – and their habitats – across the American West who rely upon the full protections of the ESA for survival. In addition to working on Guardians’ projects, the Advocate will work in coalition to encourage federal policies that benefit species and to ensure sufficient funding for endangered and threatened species protection work. The Advocate will be relied upon as the ESA legal and policy expert and will be expected to contribute to the strategic vision of this Guardians’ “ESA Defense” initiative (in collaboration with the Program Director). The Advocate may be asked to work with staff in other Guardians’ key programs – Wild Places, Wild Rivers and Climate & Energy – to the extent there are overlapping species/ESA issues within the work of those programs. The Advocate may also work on additional campaigns within the Wildlife Program, including our “End the War on Wildlife” initiative as well as provide support to ESA-related issues within other programs. The position is supervised by the Wildlife Program Director. Note:   This is not an entry-level position as we are looking for an advocate with strong prior experience with the ESA and species protection. While a law degree is not necessary for this position, a degree – or comparable experience – is strongly preferred due to the responsibility of the advocate to be able to engage in pre-litigation work and issue-spotting in advance of litigation. A science background is a plus and the ability to be able to comprehend complex scientific literature and translate into layman’s terms is necessary. Principal Responsibilities: Advance key political and legislative objectives to strengthen the ESA and species who rely on ESA protection; Work with attorneys and other staff to develop and propose new legal advocacy focused on the Endangered Species Act and species who rely on ESA protection; Review proposed rules and agency actions related to priority species and the ESA and provide comments on the same; Draft communications – such as action alert emails, press releases, blog posts, Op/Eds etc. – in support of ESA Defense initiative; Communicate effectively with stakeholders – including members of Congress and other elected officials – and the public on the importance of ESA in remedying the biodiversity crisis. Knowledge and Skills: Knowledge of the ESA and related federal environmental laws (NEPA, APA, etc.); Knowledge of wildlife and issues impacting wildlife across the American West; Passion for protecting wildlife across the American West; Strong relational skills, including ability to connect with and build coalitions with diverse stakeholders; Strong written and oral communication skills; Analytical, strategic mind and ability to prioritize in a world full of problems, winnow out distractions, recognize and act on opportunities, and anticipate potential future consequences; Additional preferred skills include, but are not limited to: 3+ years of experience working with the ESA and/or for species protection; Law degree or deep understanding of relevant laws and how to develop litigation; Degree in biology, wildlife studies, or a related field (or comparable experience in the same); Creative, self-starter with proven ability to work independently and collaboratively; Knowledge of and experience with federal, regional, and state environmental policy; Comfort using social media platforms; Excellent organizational skills to support success in a fast-paced environment with a full workload where it is necessary to balance and prioritize multiple tasks and deadlines.
