Develop collaborative relationships with legislators and congressional staff on both sides of the aisle and federal agencies to advance our policy goals.

Top candidates will also have these qualities: Up for a challenge. You have a bold vision of a greener world, but you know that lasting change—especially in gridlocked Washington, D.C.—often comes one challenging step at a time. You work hard to achieve your goals, whether that means hours of calling activists or monitoring middle-of-the-night Senate votes. Ready to build a movement. The progress we're seeking can't be won in a single policy or election. You're excited to meet with Democrats, Republicans, farmers, business owners and anyone else you think might share our love of wildlife. Organized and strategic. You can make plans for long-term success. You can balance multiple competing goals and policy priorities. If this sounds like you, we hope you’ll apply to join our team.
