POSITION SUMMARY

The Program Associate, Public Affairs provides administrative, project management, and strategy support to the Foundations evolving public policy and advocacy efforts. The Program Associate reports to the Public Policy Manager and participates in a broad array of activities connected to the Foundations priorities at the local, State, and Federal levels. The position is designed for a policy and political professional with strong skills in both understanding the legislative process and analyzing policy in a fast-paced, start-up environment. A passion for equity and justice, a commitment to learning and teaching, and strong writing and project management skills are essential for success in this role.
This is a full-time, non-exempt position that can be located remotely (within Washington State) or at any of our offices. We currently have an office in Seattle and will be opening offices in the Tri-Cities and Tacoma in 2021. Given that a majority of our current team members are located in King County, priority will be given to candidates who both live in and have a deep connection to communities in other areas of the State.
Periodic early morning, evening, and weekend hours will be required, and occasional statewide and regional travel should be expected. All employees participate in our offsite retreats, which often require travel and overnight stays.

Develop and maintain relevant expertise in campaign reporting, spending, and disclosure laws
Compose, edit, design, and format documents for internal and external audiences
Manage internal systems and processes for tracking relationship-building efforts
Develop systems to track legislation, emerging public policy, and the priorities of community groups at the State, regional, and local level
Contribute ones own ideas, perspectives, and lived experiences to the emerging culture of the Foundation
Assume other responsibilities and explore new opportunities that arise with the evolving needs and aspirations of the Foundation
QUALIFICATIONS

A deep commitment to equity and social justice, and strong alignment with our organizational values
Ability to authentically connect the Foundations mission and aspirations with ones own personal experiences
Demonstrated ability to cultivate relationships and work effectively and respectfully with politically, ideologically, culturally, and geographically diverse people and communities
A minimum of five years of experience in public policy or campaign settings
Strong project management skills, organizational skills, and attention to detail, and the ability to create systems for records and research
Demonstrated experience working with legislators, elected officials, and organizations that work on ballot initiatives, policy, and campaigns
Commitment to connecting with communities across the State
Knowledge of, or a strong desire to learn about, the needs of communities across the state who are most impacted by structural inequities
An understanding of the foundational role that racism, ableism, sexism, and other forms of bias and oppression play in perpetuating inequity
Exposure to various equity, justice, and power-building strategies
Humility and curiosity, and an understanding of how these qualities are connected to success in this role
Demonstrated capacity for self-reflection
Strong verbal, non-verbal, and written communication skills combined with the ability to listen deeply and authentically
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint) and Adobe (Acrobat DC) and ability to adapt to new technologies
Ability to take part in occasional meetings and events outside of core business hours
Enthusiasm for traveling throughout Washington and engaging with communities that may be different from your own (travel is estimated at 10-15% for this position)
COMPENSATION

In addition to a positive and flexible work culture, we attract, retain, and motivate exceptional people with an equitable and competitive compensation package. Salary ranges are set according to an explicit compensation policy, and relevant data are reviewed when setting ranges for each position. The anticipated starting salary range for this position is $75,000 to $84,000. A compensation enhancement is provided to employees with indigenous or advanced language proficiency in more than one language that they utilize to advance the Foundations work across Washington. We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes fully paid medical/dental/vision coverage for employees and dependent children (and partial coverage for partners and spouses), a 10% retirement contribution, generous and flexible paid time off, paid family and medical leave, a transit pass (where available), and support for ongoing professional development.
