Perform other duties as assigned.
Requirements and qualifications:
Seven to 10 years of experience for the Director role; at least 10 years of experience for the Senior Director role.

Interest in the court system and legal policy and the ability to translate complex issues into compelling and resonant messages for the public.
Fluency in and appreciation for digital communication tools and strategies as a critical method for reaching mass audiences.

Summary
American Progress is seeking a highly motivated, creative professional to join its Structural Reform and Governance department as the Director or Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy. This candidate will lead a portfolio dedicated to safeguarding an independent and well-functioning judiciary and advancing a long-term strategy to ensure that the courts are a key pillar of a resilient democracy. These efforts are driven by American Progress’ mission to improve the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country. The Director or Senior Director will join a dynamic group of colleagues in supporting American Progress’ five crosscutting priorities:
Building an economy for all
Restoring social trust in democracy
Advancing racial equity and justice
Tackling climate change and environmental injustice
Strengthening health
The courts remain a significant barrier to addressing many of the major threats and challenges facing the United States, including climate change, structural racism, income inequality, and the country’s very democracy. The Director or Senior Director will help chart a long-term strategy to bring structural reforms to the courts and advance and shape a “popular constitutionalism” that recognizes the role of both other branches of government and the American people in interpreting the Constitution.
As a multi-issue think tank with capacity across virtually every public policy issue area, American Progress is uniquely situated within the progressive space to elevate policy issues around the courts and important legal reforms as a priority. The Director or Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy will build a vision and strategy to work with partners to make the courts a priority and connect judicial decisions to their effects on the lives of everyday people.
Responsibilities:
Work collaboratively to develop a medium- and long-term policy research, advocacy, and communications agenda on the courts and actively participate in connecting this work with American Progress’ crosscutting priorities.
Conceive, research, and manage the production of products, op-eds, events, and convenings to make the case for reforms to the court and legal policy.
Work closely with national- and state-level stakeholders and coalitions to align strategic priorities and goals on courts issues.
Lead American Progress’ work in designing and executing strategies that build political and public support for progressive engagement on the courts and legal policy.
Working with American Progress’ communications and advocacy experts, develop a communications and messaging strategy to elevate the salience of the courts and help the public understand the importance of key nominations and court decisions.
Engage in rapid response through talking points, fact sheets, articles, op-eds, and other tactics as appropriate, and serve as a resource to media and policymakers.

Summary
American Progress is seeking a highly motivated, creative professional to join its Structural Reform and Governance department as the Director or Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy. This candidate will lead a portfolio dedicated to safeguarding an independent and well-functioning judiciary and advancing a long-term strategy to ensure that the courts are a key pillar of a resilient democracy. These efforts are driven by American Progress’ mission to improve the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country. The Director or Senior Director will join a dynamic group of colleagues in supporting American Progress’ five crosscutting priorities:
Building an economy for all
Restoring social trust in democracy
Advancing racial equity and justice
Tackling climate change and environmental injustice
Strengthening health
The courts remain a significant barrier to addressing many of the major threats and challenges facing the United States, including climate change, structural racism, income inequality, and the country’s very democracy. The Director or Senior Director will help chart a long-term strategy to bring structural reforms to the courts and advance and shape a “popular constitutionalism” that recognizes the role of both other branches of government and the American people in interpreting the Constitution.
As a multi-issue think tank with capacity across virtually every public policy issue area, American Progress is uniquely situated within the progressive space to elevate policy issues around the courts and important legal reforms as a priority. The Director or Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy will build a vision and strategy to work with partners to make the courts a priority and connect judicial decisions to their effects on the lives of everyday people.
Responsibilities:
Work collaboratively to develop a medium- and long-term policy research, advocacy, and communications agenda on the courts and actively participate in connecting this work with American Progress’ crosscutting priorities.
Conceive, research, and manage the production of products, op-eds, events, and convenings to make the case for reforms to the court and legal policy.
Work closely with national- and state-level stakeholders and coalitions to align strategic priorities and goals on courts issues.
Lead American Progress’ work in designing and executing strategies that build political and public support for progressive engagement on the courts and legal policy.
Working with American Progress’ communications and advocacy experts, develop a communications and messaging strategy to elevate the salience of the courts and help the public understand the importance of key nominations and court decisions.
