American Oversight is looking for a dynamic and strategic Chief Counsel to lead our talented team of public records litigators. We’re a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that advances truth, accountability, and democracy by enforcing the public’s right to government records.
American Oversight uses its extensive experience in open records laws to act where abuse of authority and government power overlap. From the federal Freedom of Information Act to state transparency laws, we use carefully crafted records requests to extract information from the government. When the government fails to respond as required by law, our team has the legal expertise to take them to court and enforce the public’s right to hold our leaders accountable. American Oversight has obtained and published over one million pages of emails, memos, calendars, text messages, and other records and has used those records to ensure accountability, expose misconduct, and drive significant corrective action at all levels of government.
Setting and executing strategic litigation priorities – and adapting as circumstances warrant – is key to American Oversight’s impact and success.

Serve as a member of the senior management team, collaborating with the Executive and Deputy Executive Directors and department heads across the organization to set and adjust strategic priorities and advance the mission.
Build and maintain a collegial, inclusive, and supportive workplace environment that prepares the team and organization to meet evolving public records litigation opportunities and challenges.
Hire, manage, and make final personnel recommendations for members of the legal team. Ensure the legal team has the tools and training to conduct innovative, high-quality public records litigation.
Collaborate and coordinate with American Oversight’s research, communications, and partnerships teams to maximize organizational impact and achieve strategic priorities.
Manage relationships with local counsel and serve as an ambassador for the organization's legal work, speaking knowledgeably and persuasively to internal and external audiences about specific matters and the organization’s larger mission. Engage in rapid response to current events, developments, and document releases in public records requests and litigation.
Qualifications
JD and membership in good standing of at least one state bar.
Extensive civil litigation experience and expert litigation judgment, including the ability to craft legal strategies with appropriate levels of assertiveness and risk tolerance. Relevant factors may include:
At least 10+ years’ combined litigation experience at law firms, government, or nonprofit or advocacy organizations.
Substantial experience leading litigation teams and serving as lead counsel on litigation matters.
Experience with one or more of the following: FOIA and state open records laws, government ethics laws, federal and state government oversight, accountability, and transparency.
Excellent academic credentials.

Position Overview
Family Planning 2030 (FP2030) is a global partnership of governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, donors, private sector partners, and researchers committed to supporting the rights of women and girls who wish to use contraception. Our vision is a future where women and girls everywhere have the freedom and ability to lead healthy lives, make their own informed decisions about using contraception and having children, and participate as equals in society and its development. The FP2030 Support Network consists of five hosted regional hubs: North, West and Central Africa; East and Southern Africa; Asia and the Pacific; and Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America and Europe. The FP2030 Support Network is led by an Executive Director, supported by an Executive Directorate team, who reports to the Governing Board. Each Regional Hub is headed by a Managing Director supported by a small team and hosted by an NGO within the region. The FP2030 Support Network is hosted by the United Nations Foundation (UNF), which hosts the North America and Europe Hub (NAE) and the Executive Directorate team.

An FP2030 gender strategy is essential to this next phase, to underscore the centrality of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to the gender equality agenda, integrate a gender lens within its own structure and processes, and encourage and equip commitment makers to improve their approaches to gender integration to advance both SRHR outcomes and gender equality.

Position Overview
The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors securing America’s net-zero future by advancing state-led, high-impact climate action. The Alliance Secretariat helps its members accelerate climate action by providing a broad range of technical, analytical, policy, and capacity assistance and resources. The coalition has also built strong relationships with the federal administration to help create and implement an ambitious, durable national climate framework. For more information on the Alliance, please visit www.usclimatealliance.org. The U.S. Climate Alliance seeks a Policy Advisor to develop and implement policy solutions to decarbonize the buildings sector in Alliance states and territories, working closely with senior staff of the Alliance Secretariat.

The Policy Advisor will be charged with helping turn these commitments into action as the Alliance deepens its focus in this priority area. They will also advise on additional sectors as appropriate. This role will report to the Policy Director and be expected to work as part of a broader team that includes Alliance states, consultants, and external partners. The position is part of the Energy and Climate team at the United Nations Foundation, which houses the U.S. Climate Alliance Secretariat. This position is remote in the continental U.S.
