Job description

The American Constitution Society (ACS), one of the nation's leading progressive legal organizations, seeks an experienced, creative, and detail-oriented Director to lead the Policy and Program Department’s democracy efforts and engagement with legal academia.

The Director’s portfolio will focus on legal efforts to defend and strengthen voting rights, ensure meaningful and responsive representation at every level of government, and advance the fight for a multiracial democracy for the people and by the people. The Director will work closely with other members of the Policy and Program Department to coordinate a unified, intersectional, and strategically coherent vision for ACS’s democracy work. The position may be responsible for additional, substantive portfolios based on experience and interest.

The Director will play a central role in coordinating and facilitating ACS's substantive legal and public policy work in the areas described above and will:

  • Work closely with constitutional scholars, practitioners, advocates, public officials, and law students to formulate and advance a progressive vision of the law that is intellectually sound, practically relevant, and faithful to our constitutional values.
  • Engage leading voices in legal academia to participate in ACS programming, writing competitions and pipeline work, identifying emerging legal thinkers and theories, and supporting the programming work of ACS student chapters and faculty advisors.
  • Serve as an expert voice by moderating and speaking on panels, providing substantive direction and support for other departments within ACS, representing ACS before relevant coalitions, authoring op-eds, blog posts, articles, and white papers related to ACS’s work, and responding to inquiries from the media.
  • Work with outside experts on various ACS publications and projects.
  • Develop and oversee execution of conferences, convenings, and other live programming.
Qualifications:

Applicants should possess a J.D. degree from an accredited law school and have four to seven years of professional experience. The ideal candidate will be familiar with constitutional and other legal scholarship, and have outstanding analytic, writing, and interpersonal skills.

ACS values a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. ACS encourages applications from all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, and veteran status.

Compensation and Benefits:

This position will report to the Vice President of Policy and Program. The successful candidate’s salary will be commensurate with relevant professional experience. The salary range for this position is $70,000 to $80,000.

  • Paid health, vision, dental and life insurance;
  • Paid holiday, vacation, and sick leave.
Location:

Washington, DC. ACS operates as a hybrid organization and maintains an office in Washington, DC. The Director will be required to attend in-person events but can choose to work from home or the ACS office all other times.
