  • Lead advocacy strategy for priority legislation, agency actions, and policy goals.
  • Manage and develop the Advocacy Manager, Policy Manager, and Coalitions Manager.
  • Direct policy analysis, issue briefs, testimony, coalition materials, and related advocacy products.
  • Oversee intake and triage for new bills, endorsement requests, technical‑assistance requests, coalition activation requests, and policy ideas.
  • Lead rapid‑response strategy when legislative or agency opportunities arise.
  • Set the policy purpose and direction for coalition work, member engagement, and working groups.
  • Serve as staff lead for the Steering Committee’s legislative‑strategy process, including agendas, preparation, synthesis, and follow‑up.
  • Manage substantive policy and advocacy partnerships.
  • Establish a regular process for reviewing advocacy progress, Hill intelligence, coalition activity, and capacity needs.
Candidate Profile

The strongest candidate will be a strategic federal policy and advocacy leader who can manage people, set clear priorities, and turn policy goals into disciplined execution.

Qualifications
  • At least 7 years of experience in federal policy, legislative advocacy, government affairs, coalition leadership, or related work.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of Congress, the federal legislative process, and the policy environment affecting housing supply and affordability.
  • Experience developing advocacy strategies and managing legislative or policy campaigns.
  • 5+ years of experience supervising staff, leading cross‑functional teams, and overseeing process design and implementation.
  • Strong political judgment and the ability to work across differing stakeholder interests.
  • Experience working with coalitions, national partners, advisory groups, or cross‑sector networks.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • The ability to manage multiple fast‑moving priorities with clear judgment and follow‑through.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with housing supply, land use, infrastructure, economic development, or related federal policy.
  • Existing relationships with congressional offices, committees, federal agencies, or national housing‑policy organizations.
  • Experience supporting a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), or affiliated advocacy organization.
  • Experience working with business, community, policy, and advocacy partners in the same coalition.
