Title: State Policy Research Manager, Clean Energy For All
Department: State Capacity Building
Status: Exempt
Reports to: Senior Director, State Climate & Equity Policy
Positions Reporting to this Position: None
Location: United States
Remote Work Eligibility: Yes, Regular Remote Work
Travel Requirements: Up to 10%
Union Position: Yes
Job Classification Level: D
Salary Range (depending on qualified experience): $81,337 - $96,637
General Description:
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (“LCVEF”), a non-profit organization, builds grassroots power to protect people and the planet. We envision a world in which tackling the climate crisis, confronting environmental injustice, and strengthening our democracy lead to cleaner and healthier communities, good, well-paying jobs, and a more just, equitable, and sustainable planet for all.
For more than 50 years, LCVEF has fought for solutions to the interconnected threats our environment and democracy face. We do so by expanding voter participation, advocating for policy change, engaging in public education, mobilizing, organizing, and building grassroots power in communities, and partnering with and supporting our 30+ state affiliates across the country.
LCVEF and our more than 30 state affiliates, together, the Conservation Voter Movement (CVM), jointly developed our Clean Energy for All (CEFA) campaign to move the U.S. to 100% clean energy. Through CEFA, the Conservation Voters 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 100% clean energy from nearly 1300 successful state and local candidates. We have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to translate those commitments into clean energy progress in 24 states, 17 of which enacted significant statewide clean energy priorities. The success of these local campaigns has redefined what is possible when discussing solutions to climate change and forced state and local officials to provide leadership demonstrating our collective power to solve the climate crisis.
LCVEF is seeking a State Policy Research Manager for the CEFA program who will help manage the policy research and analysis needed to execute sub-federal clean energy strategies centered around racial and economic justice and facilitate LCVEF’s efforts to support bold state climate action. The State Policy Research Manager will play a key role on the CEFA team and will expand the CVM’s capacity to lead on policy through providing policy analysis around key issues. The State Policy Research Manager will also support the development of policy guidance for climate advocacy and work with the Senior Director, State Climate & Equity Policy and CVM partners to implement policy solutions that advance equity and a just transition. The ideal person in this position has experience conducting policy analysis with an equity framework; researching state policy; and working on policy campaigns with broad, racially diverse coalitions.
This position is classified as “ Regular Remote Work ”, which means the position is not assigned to an office and can work remotely full-time.
This job operates in a professional office or home office environment, and routinely uses standard office equipment including, but not limited to, computers, phones, photocopiers, and audiovisual systems. This position is largely sedentary, often standing or sitting for prolonged periods. The person in this position frequently communicates with internal and external stakeholders using electronic platforms.

Coordinate with national staff and state affiliate partners to monitor and evaluate policy advocacy around sub-federal implementation of climate solutions.
Conduct and support research on state climate and clean energy policy, including developing literature reviews and drafting, fact-checking, and editing materials.
Develop a range of written products including issue briefs, white papers, reports, memos, and fact sheets to support the advancement of equitable climate and clean energy policy in the states.
Assist the Senior Director, State Climate & Equity Policy in responding to information and technical assistance requests from state affiliates, partner organizations, and cross-departmental teams on a range of climate and clean energy issues.
Develop and maintain expertise in climate and clean energy areas of responsibility, including the intersection of federal climate policy and state authority.
Identify opportunities to develop policy and campaign guidance for CVM engagement around state climate policy with a lens towards applying state and federal environmental justice commitments.
Manage production of and/or create internal CEFA content, working with State Policy and Advocacy Manager to ensure alignment across the CEFA program. Help write and ensure the accuracy of CEFA content in LCVEF materials.
Support the execution of cohorts, convenings, and trainings designed to achieve program objectives and address barriers to equitable clean energy deployment.
Assist in the organization and facilitation of state learning opportunities, including virtual and in-person events such as workshops, seminars, and presentations.
Travel up to 10% of the time for staff retreats, meetings, training, and conferences, as needed.
Qualifications:
Work Experience: Required - 4 years of experience in policy research and development, including experience translating policy research into state and local advocacy campaigns. Previous experience working in, with, or around state-level policy is essential.
