State Partnerships Director

SAL is hiring its fourth and fifth full-time team members to be a part of envisioning and building its core programs and networks. The new State Partnerships Director will work collaboratively with the Executive Director and a new State Repro Hub Director. The State Partnerships Director will supervise the Senior Collaboration Manager and lead a broad group of consultants supporting state-based projects and engagements. The Director will bring significant experience successfully building coalitions and fostering collaboration in state movement contexts, strong relational skills to support groups in building shared goals, and extensive knowledge and understanding of the reproductive rights, health, and justice movement. Through these strengths, the Director will build and oversee a team and network of consultants to provide facilitation, thought partnership, and capacity to support intra- and cross-state movement building, and to lead those projects directly in the interim. They will lead the ongoing development of collaborative tools, manage coalition support projects, and support convenings in partnership with state advocates. The best person for this role is someone who has deep relationships and is a trusted leader in building an effective state or regional movement coalition or collaboration. You are seen as an advisor and thought partner who understands the challenges movements and their leaders face in navigating complex history and power dynamics of a diverse field. You center relationships and hold space for different perspectives, ensuring that the voices of those closest to the issue are heard and valued. You enjoy building and supporting a team and are willing to wear many hats from large scale campaign planning and meeting facilitation to event support when necessary. #J-18808-Ljbffr State Alignment Lab
