Reports to: Senior Vice President, Structural Reform and Governance Staff reporting to this position: None Department: Structural Reform and Governance Position classification: Exempt, full time Minimum compensation: $92,000/$125,000 Work site: Hybrid (on-site two days per week, Washington, D.C., office)
Summary
American Progress is seeking a highly motivated, creative professional to join its Structural Reform and Governance department as the Director or Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy. This candidate will lead a portfolio dedicated to safeguarding an independent and well-functioning judiciary and advancing a long-term strategy to ensure that the courts are a key pillar of a resilient democracy. These efforts are driven by American Progress’ mission to improve the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country. The Director or Senior Director will join a dynamic group of colleagues in supporting American Progress’ five crosscutting priorities:
Building an economy for all
Restoring social trust in democracy
Advancing racial equity and justice
Tackling climate change and environmental injustice
Strengthening health
The courts remain a significant barrier to addressing many of the major threats and challenges facing the United States, including climate change, structural racism, income inequality, and the country’s very democracy. The Director or Senior Director will help chart a long-term strategy to bring structural reforms to the courts and advance and shape a “popular constitutionalism” that recognizes the role of both other branches of government and the American people in interpreting the Constitution.
As a multi-issue think tank with capacity across virtually every public policy issue area, American Progress is uniquely situated within the progressive space to elevate policy issues around the courts and important legal reforms as a priority. The Director or Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy will build a vision and strategy to work with partners to make the courts a priority and connect judicial decisions to their effects on the lives of everyday people.
Responsibilities:
Work collaboratively to develop a medium- and long-term policy research, advocacy, and communications agenda on the courts and actively participate in connecting this work with American Progress’ crosscutting priorities.
Conceive, research, and manage the production of products, op-eds, events, and convenings to make the case for reforms to the court and legal policy.
Work closely with national- and state-level stakeholders and coalitions to align strategic priorities and goals on courts issues.

About KIND:
Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) is a global leader in the protection of unaccompanied refugee and migrant children. Launched in 2008, KIND champions a world in which every child’s rights and well-being are protected throughout their journey to safety. Since 2008, KIND has accepted over 23,000 referrals of children seeking legal representation in their immigration proceedings. KIND has welcomed more than 41,000 attendees to training since its founding, cultivating partnerships with over 700 law firms, corporate legal departments, law schools, and bar associations across the country.
KIND’s social services program ensures that migrant and refugee children – who have often endured trauma – receive counseling, educational support, medical care, and other comprehensive services.
To address the root causes of child migration from Central America and strengthen the protection of unaccompanied children, KIND advocates for policy changes and educates lawmakers, the media, and the broader public on the conditions that drive these children to flee their home countries. KIND supports children returning to their home countries by connecting them to essential support services and sponsors gender-based violence prevention programs in Central America to protect children in countries of origin and transit.
KIND is also building upon its expertise in the protection of unaccompanied children to encourage the development of pro bono initiatives across Europe in partnership with European NGOs.
Position Summary:
KIND’s vision and unwavering goal are that all unaccompanied children facing immigration proceedings in the U.S. have a lawyer at their side while the government adjudicates their immigration case. To achieve that vision, KIND (1) establishes and leverages public and private partnerships, which expands the organization’s ability to reach and serve migrant children; and (2) aims to consistently deliver high-quality, trauma-informed services efficiently.
KIND is poised to serve even more children by virtue of a proposed federal government contracting opportunity. That opportunity would stem from a forthcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families.

About KIND:
Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) is a global leader in the protection of unaccompanied refugee and migrant children. Launched in 2008, KIND champions a world in which every child’s rights and well-being are protected throughout their journey to safety. Since 2008, KIND has accepted over 23,000 referrals of children seeking legal representation in their immigration proceedings. KIND has welcomed more than 41,000 attendees to training since its founding, cultivating partnerships with over 700 law firms, corporate legal departments, law schools, and bar associations across the country.
KIND’s social services program ensures that migrant and refugee children – who have often endured trauma – receive counseling, educational support, medical care, and other comprehensive services.
To address the root causes of child migration from Central America and strengthen the protection of unaccompanied children, KIND advocates for policy changes and educates lawmakers, the media, and the broader public on the conditions that drive these children to flee their home countries. KIND supports children returning to their home countries by connecting them to essential support services and sponsors gender-based violence prevention programs in Central America to protect children in countries of origin and transit.
KIND is also building upon its expertise in the protection of unaccompanied children to encourage the development of pro bono initiatives across Europe in partnership with European NGOs.
Position Summary:
KIND’s vision and unwavering goal are that all unaccompanied children facing immigration proceedings in the U.S. have a lawyer at their side while the government adjudicates their immigration case. To achieve that vision, KIND (1) establishes and leverages public and private partnerships, which expands the organization’s ability to reach and serve migrant children; and (2) aims to consistently deliver high-quality, trauma-informed services efficiently.
KIND is poised to serve even more children by virtue of a proposed federal government contracting opportunity. That opportunity would stem from a forthcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. That proposed RFP will significantly increase post-release services for unaccompanied children crossing U.S. borders.
KIND seeks a Project Manager, Federal Contract to manage all aspects of what may be a large, complex federal services contract while coordinating contract activities across an array of core functions led by various senior KIND leaders. The incumbent will serve as the relationship manager for this contract with ORR, engaging with operational and programmatic teams to successfully perform contract tasks, ensuring that KIND achieves its objectives and outcomes efficiently, on time, within budget, and in keeping with applicable laws; KIND’s policies and procedures; and all customer (ORR) requirements.

Work with Advocacy and Outreach department members to develop messaging strategies and actions for relevant policy areas.
Identify and engage with opportunities to build strong relationships with external collaborators, partners, lawmakers, and other stakeholders.
Perform other duties as assigned.
Requirements and qualifications:

Three to five years of professional experience in policy, government, or nonprofit work is required for the Policy Analyst role; at least five years of experience is required for the Senior Policy Analyst role.
An advanced degree—such as a Master of Arts, Master of Public Policy, Master of Social Work, or Master of Public Health—or equivalent experience in a public policy, social science, or economics discipline or a specialized policy area— including workforce development, housing, education, or equivalent—is preferred but not required.
Flexibility as a teammate, with a willingness to work on a wide variety of policies and issues based on the needs of the team, department, and organization.
