Project One America (POA) is HRC’s program to provide in-depth and localized resources in targeted states to improve the daily lives of the LGBT community in areas which have seen the fewest legal advances to date. The Director of Project One America will set strategy, develop tactics and oversee the execution of HRC’s Project One America.

The Director will lead and oversee the implementation of comprehensive plans for each state in the program. Working with departments throughout the organization to determine and assess state objectives, the plans will include: business, faith and membership outreach, state legislative goals, federal lobbying targets, and metrics for advances in the daily lives of the LGBT community.

The Director will oversee state-based efforts and staff, and a team in Washington to assist in implementation of the program. A critical element of the Director’s position will be to provide coordination, communication and direction to program staff.

The Director will also serve as the public face and voice of HRC, and manage relationships with key political leaders, donors and coalition partners across the nation.

  • Develop plan for communications of continued efforts by Project One America and its targeted state efforts.

  • Represent HRC and HRC’s efforts in Project One America through media interviews, presentations at major conferences, and participating in relevant coalitions, committees, and boards.
  • Continue to work closely with the Foundation and Development teams to fund and expand HRC’s efforts by assisting with the development of grant applications and presenting funding opportunities to potential donors;
  • Continue to work with the Membership and Communications teams to develop messaging and strategies to educate HRC’s membership.
  • Collaborate with other senior directors to determine how best to meet HRC’s strategic legislative, electoral, membership, communication, business, faith and educational goals.
  • Institutional Advocacy: Working with the leaders of HRC’s Foundation funded programs, develop goals and strategies to target key institutions, such as workplaces, schools, and places of worship, to ensure that the LGBT community does not face discrimination and is granted full benefits when it engages with these entities.
  • State advocacy: Working with HRC’s political, Field and legal departments, ensure that HRC is monitoring state legislation, ballot measures, and other developments; providing adequate assistance in targeted state efforts; and developing effective campaigns for moving state and local advocacy efforts forward.
  • Federal advocacy: Working with HRC’s legislative and field teams to develop and implement strategies and campaigns for supporting federal legislation and other national advocacy efforts in the state and local districts.
  • Management: Manage state-based Project One America staff. In addition, manage staff in Washington, DC headquarters to help coordinate and implement the Project One American program.
  • Other duties as required.
