Job Overview

Advancement Project seeks a seasoned attorney and experienced program administrator to serve as Program Director & Senior Attorney of the Opportunity to Learn Program. The Program Director will supervise staff, build relationships, and work closely with partnering grassroots organizations to achieve an equitable educational system.

This position is based in Washington DC and executes program plan initiatives under the supervision of the Deputy Executive Director.

The Program Director will lead a dedicated team of professionals from multiple disciplines working to secure equitable public education opportunities. This position will address 'Quality Education for All' and 'Ending the School-to-Prison Pipeline,' namely the overuse of punitive school discipline policies and practices that are disadvantageous towards students and push – especially students of color – out of school and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems.

Advancement Project has been a pioneer in reforming school disciplinary models to prevent the pushout of young people. Through state and local campaigns with grassroots partners, we have reduced suspensions, expulsions, and the criminalization of young people of color leading to improved educational outcomes.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop the strategic direction for the Opportunity to Learn Program.
  • Plan project activities, develop new initiatives, and ensure projects and activities comply with relevant and trending legislation and policy.
  • Cultivate a broad and effective network of partners, including maintaining current national and local partnerships and developing new partner relationships.
  • Participate in all aspects of federal and state civil and appellate litigation, as needed, including identifying litigation strategy, conducting legal research, and drafting legal memoranda, motions, and briefs.
Requirements
  • At least 10 years of relevant experience in a similar position and/or performing similar tasks.
  • Knowledge of legal and policy issues surrounding civil rights and education law.
  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited college or university.
  • License to practice law in Washington D.C. or possess the ability to waive into the Washington D.C. bar.
  • At least three years of experience managing people, mentoring, and training staff attorneys.
  • Ability to frequently travel locally, regionally, and nationally.
  • Ability to occasionally work evenings and periodically work weekends, as needed.

Depending on experience, this position pays a minimum of $130,000 and a maximum of $160,000.
