San Francisco, California, United States Safe and Sound Full time

Position Title: Senior Policy Advisor

Department: Strategic Partnerships & Policy

Reports to: Chief Policy Officer (CPO)

Location: 3450 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94124



ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Safe & Sound is a children's advocacy organization working to prevent and reduce child abuse, neglect, and trauma. We have been a pioneer in the field of child abuse prevention, working within San Francisco for more than 50 years. Recently, the organization has begun to expand its impact working throughout the state of California.

Child maltreatment is a complex problem, but a preventable one. Our data-informed approach leverages three primary strategies: we empower children with knowledge and confidence; we support families providing resources and skills; we activate the community and the change-makers within it to create a thriving social safety net for children and their families.

The organization has an annual operating budget of approximately $15.4 million and is supported by approximately 70 staff, interns, and more than 80 volunteers. Safe & Sound headquarters is located in a historic firehouse in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, with a second office in the Bayview neighborhood. Safe & Sound recently merged with The Center for Youth Wellness (CYW), a national leader in the effort to advance pediatric medicine, raise public awareness, and transform the way society responds to children exposed to Adverse Childhood

Experiences (ACEs). Founded by California's first Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, CYW has created a national call to screen, treat, and heal ACEs and toxic stress.

OVERALL SUMMARY

The Senior Policy Advisor plays a key role in shaping, supporting and implementing the strategic direction of the organization's advocacy and policy work. This position is responsible for creating an expanded advocacy program, program research, development, strategy, and implementation; community and policymaker engagement; and communication related to advocacy projects. The Senior Policy Advisor will be primarily responsible for overseeing and developing local San Francisco advocacy related to supporting families, preventing child abuse and neglect, and improving the local child abuse response system. The Senior Policy Advisor will work with the Family Services Alliance (FSA), a network of approximately 40 family support organizations to support their advocacy work and to create a powerful movement of families, community partners, and policymakers to help ensure San Francisco families and the community organizations serving them have essential resources allowing all families to thrive.

The ideal candidate will be familiar with San Francisco's and California's policy and advocacy landscape, particularly in the areas of family support, early care and education, and child welfare and will have experience and comfort in developing people as leaders in their communities and running local advocacy efforts. This position requires innovation, flexibility, strategic thinking, excellent project development and project management skills, the ability to communicate (written/verbal) effectively, advocacy or community engagement experience, and knowledge of the needs of vulnerable children and families.

The position reports to the Chief Policy Officer, receives strategic direction from the FSA Steering Committee, and works frequently with FSA members, executive directors of family support organizations, local policymakers and elected officials, political experts, and a variety of community members.
