The Opportunity
USofCare is seeking a Director of Federal Policy to join our team of passionate, adaptable, accountable, innovative problem-solvers dedicated to making our health care system better for all people. This position reports to the Senior Director of Policy and External Affairs.
The Director of Federal Policy leads the federal policy vision, strategy, and portfolio of issues for the organization’s advocacy work within Congress, the Administration, and other national stakeholders. The Director publicly represents USofCare’s federal policy and advocacy work to external audiences, including federal lawmakers, regulators, media, and partners.
The Director works with senior leaders and staff across the organization to develop and execute on the organization’s federal policy agenda. The Director will work with a high degree of independence to chart out federal policy positioning for the organization across an array of issue areas, including coverage, value-based care and payment reform, maternal and child health, and affordability and pricing across the health care system (e.g., hospital consolidation, enhanced premium tax credits, etc.).
USofCare’s policy vision and agenda is propelled by insights garnered from the organization’s community engagement and listening research and reforms taking shape at the state level. The Director charts out the organization’s federal policy record, assesses opportunities for influencing legislation and regulation, analyzes policy proposals, and (with support from the broader team) drafts legislative text for Hill audiences, regulatory comments, and offers Technical Assistance (TA) to federal policymakers. The Director leads research and development of internal and external analyses, memos, presentations, blogs, fact sheets and other briefing documents, comment letters and other public content, in many instances in coordination with state policy affairs staff from the organization.
As an organization that focuses on building and maintaining strategic partnerships and coalitions, the Director plays an integral role in building and sustaining meaningful partnerships with key allies and stakeholders across the national policy and advocacy landscape, as well as with current and potential funders, and will represent the organization at various stakeholder tables and meetings.
The ideal Director candidate is deeply-steeped in federal health care policy and brings a record of prior policymaking success with experience having done this work in the legislative and/or executive branches of federal government. The Director is adept at making connections across the organization; integrating our findings from listening research and state advocacy campaigns into our federal policy vision and agenda. The Director identifies trends, best practices, opportunities, and solutions that help achieve organizational goals. The ideal Director candidate models the highest standards of integrity and communication both internally with our teams and externally with partners and funders. The Director is highly self-motivated and creative, with the ability to work in a start-up atmosphere with evolving priorities and is willing to pitch in on other duties as needed.
Qualifications
To be successful in this role, you must have a strong commitment to ensuring everyone has access to quality, affordable health care, and have a dedication to operating in a diverse, bipartisan, learning atmosphere that explores multiple policy solutions to achieve our mission. You are willing to respect different points of view, and are committed to applying an equity lens and prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion principles in all your work.
You hold at least 10 years of professional experience in health care policy at the federal level, including service in a legislative or executive branch role, think tank, advocacy organization, association, or other external organization;
You possess deep knowledge of a wide range of federal, state, and private health insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, and policy areas related to increasing access to care, lowering costs, and eliminating health inequities;
You demonstrate keen political sensibilities combined with analytic/policy skills and an ability to “see the bigger picture” and federal landscape, and are eager to build out the organization’s visibility in elite health policy circles;
You are able to build and maintain positive, professional relationships with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders;
You are able to work independently and use sound judgment and critical thinking skills and have demonstrated success in taking streams of work from idea to completion in a collaborative environment and with input from others;
You take pride in having meticulous attention to detail and proofreading, demonstrate superb writing, analytical and research skills, and possess excellent time management skills with the capacity to proactively navigate multiple deadlines and competing priorities;
You are able to remain flexible and enthusiastic about working in a startup environment and are willing to take on a wide range of tasks.

About Mercy Corps
Mercy Corps is powered by the belief that a better world is possible. To do this, we know our teams do their best work when they are diverse and every team member feels that they belong. We welcome diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills so that we can be stronger and have long term impact.
The Team
The Global Security team provides proactive, practical security support and advice to country leadership, regional security advisors, security focal points and global leadership; and rapid analysis, mitigation strategies and support during a crisis or critical incident. Global Security's goal is to build a culture of safety, security and inclusion that leverages the strength of our diverse team to protect our people and our organization.
Mercy Corps is a global team of humanitarians working together on the front lines of today’s biggest crises to create a future of possibility, where everyone can prosper. Our mission is to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. The Global Security team supports the agency to ensure that team members can work safely, whilst enabling programming and operations.
To ensure that team members understand the nature of safety and security risks and can manage those risks effectively, Global Security provides training in personal security, security management, crisis management, first aid and trauma care, hostile environment awareness and other key areas. Our way of training and learning draws on both digital and live methods, adopting adult learning principles and methodologies – where the perspective of the learning developer is Learner-centric, the content and learning product is accessible, relevant, memorable and works within the Learners’ regular day to day activities. As digital learning is continually growing and evolving, we want to be at the forefront of applying innovative learning and development methods so that Mercy Corps team members can actively make a difference in other people's lives, whilst always being safe and secure.
The Position
The successful candidate will work in the Global Security team to develop and deliver a diverse portfolio of online and blended eLearning programmes related to safety and security. We are looking for someone who can confidently use eLearning content creation tools and who has a deep understanding of adult learning theory and evidence to develop pedagogically sound, effective, innovative, and fit-for-purpose content that aligns with Global Security’s training, learning and development objectives. We need an experienced instructional designer who can design and build asynchronous and synchronous training courses that meet the determined learning objectives of each training and are able to produce visually appealing and engaging modules for our global learners.
While script writing will mostly sit with other team members, the digital learning developer (DLD) will prioritize the learning audience in mind and work with subject matter experts to provide script writing and storyboarding guidance while managing expectations around each learning project. The ideal candidate can thrive working independently on the technical aspects of eLearning Development and has no problem delivering the learning products within the determined project timelines and can actively communicate project delays and issues, while thinking creatively about solutions.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Campaigns Coordinator to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You’ll work with awesome people . Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability wages powerful campaigns challenging corporate abuse—and behind every campaign victory you’ll find a variety of staff members driving its success. That’s where you come in. The campaigns coordinator works across the organization, holding a unique bird’s eye view of our campaigns, coordinating with the communications, development, and operations teams to advance campaign impact.
In this role, you will act as an engine for our Campaigns team — providing support from behind the scenes, and sometimes jumping into the mix as an organizer. The opportunities within this role will be varied and dynamic: You might lead logistics with our allies for the Africa Week of Action Against Water Privatization in the fall, and then organize with our members to attend tobacco corporations’ shareholders’ meetings in the spring. Meanwhile, you’ll be project managing materials; drafting organizing tools, social media content, or campaign updates; and ensuring the Campaigns team’s logistics, technology, and admin are all running smoothly. And when the rapid-response moment strikes, you might jump on the phones to get our members into the streets or the halls of Congress to organize for justice.
Does the adaptive nature of this role sound exciting to you? Are you ready and excited to partner with our diverse and dynamic cross-organizational team to impact the bottom line of transnational corporations? Read below to learn more about our campaigns coordinator position and how your success in this role will help ensure that we are prepared with everything we need to challenge corporate abuse across the globe.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell—and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You have experience managing projects from start to finish. You know how to identify the right roles for a given project, build a successful timeline, meet deadlines, and motivate a diverse team of dedicated organizers towards achievable outcomes. And when something doesn’t go as planned, you’re ready to creatively adapt and adjust to get back on track.
You love admin and logistics, and thrive on making things run smoothly. You’re a highly organized person: organizing spreadsheets, recording detailed notes during meetings, and keeping track of every last detail brings you great satisfaction—maybe even joy.
You’re adaptable, ready to navigate the ever-changing conditions of corporate campaigns with support from Campaigns team leadership, and maintain high standards of security, all while keeping a close eye on all the important details we need to keep our campaigns going.
You’re a people person. You passionately believe that relationship-based organizing is how we change the world—and you’ve got the relationship-building and interpersonal communication skills to prove it. You’re an organizer at heart and maybe by training, and whether in person, virtually, or through written communications, you make connections and build and maintain relationships for the long term. You are particularly skilled at building relationships across race, language, cultural, and gender differences. You’re a stellar active listener, adept at responding to nonverbal and verbal cues, and can quickly adjust your communication style to what works best for the context and move through conflict when it arises.
You’ve got strong English writing skills. You know how to communicate complex issues in simple, clear messages—and you can tweak those messages for different audiences in different contexts. Your strong attention to detail ensures your writing is grammatically correct and clear. And you consistently seek and implement feedback to improve your craft as you go.
You have 2-4 years of experience in organizing, or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Provide logistical, scheduling, and tech support to the campaigns team for virtual and in-person events, including handling international travel logistics such as visa processes, transportation and hotel bookings, and keeping track of associated deadlines.

Full time
The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Campaigns Coordinator to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You’ll work with awesome people . Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability wages powerful campaigns challenging corporate abuse—and behind every campaign victory you’ll find a variety of staff members driving its success. That’s where you come in. The campaigns coordinator works across the organization, holding a unique bird’s eye view of our campaigns, coordinating with the communications, development, and operations teams to advance campaign impact.
In this role, you will act as an engine for our Campaigns team — providing support from behind the scenes, and sometimes jumping into the mix as an organizer. The opportunities within this role will be varied and dynamic: You might lead logistics with our allies for the Africa Week of Action Against Water Privatization in the fall, and then organize with our members to attend tobacco corporations’ shareholders’ meetings in the spring. Meanwhile, you’ll be project managing materials; drafting organizing tools, social media content, or campaign updates; and ensuring the Campaigns team’s logistics, technology, and admin are all running smoothly. And when the rapid-response moment strikes, you might jump on the phones to get our members into the streets or the halls of Congress to organize for justice.
Does the adaptive nature of this role sound exciting to you? Are you ready and excited to partner with our diverse and dynamic cross-organizational team to impact the bottom line of transnational corporations? Read below to learn more about our campaigns coordinator position and how your success in this role will help ensure that we are prepared with everything we need to challenge corporate abuse across the globe.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell—and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You have experience managing projects from start to finish. You know how to identify the right roles for a given project, build a successful timeline, meet deadlines, and motivate a diverse team of dedicated organizers towards achievable outcomes. And when something doesn’t go as planned, you’re ready to creatively adapt and adjust to get back on track.
You love admin and logistics, and thrive on making things run smoothly. You’re a highly organized person: organizing spreadsheets, recording detailed notes during meetings, and keeping track of every last detail brings you great satisfaction—maybe even joy.
You’re adaptable, ready to navigate the ever-changing conditions of corporate campaigns with support from Campaigns team leadership, and maintain high standards of security, all while keeping a close eye on all the important details we need to keep our campaigns going.
You’re a people person. You passionately believe that relationship-based organizing is how we change the world—and you’ve got the relationship-building and interpersonal communication skills to prove it. You’re an organizer at heart and maybe by training, and whether in person, virtually, or through written communications, you make connections and build and maintain relationships for the long term. You are particularly skilled at building relationships across race, language, cultural, and gender differences. You’re a stellar active listener, adept at responding to nonverbal and verbal cues, and can quickly adjust your communication style to what works best for the context and move through conflict when it arises.
You’ve got strong English writing skills. You know how to communicate complex issues in simple, clear messages—and you can tweak those messages for different audiences in different contexts. Your strong attention to detail ensures your writing is grammatically correct and clear. And you consistently seek and implement feedback to improve your craft as you go.
You have 2-4 years of experience in organizing, or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Provide logistical, scheduling, and tech support to the campaigns team for virtual and in-person events, including handling international travel logistics such as visa processes, transportation and hotel bookings, and keeping track of associated deadlines.
Support the campaigns and grant-making teams with financial administrative support including drafting, project managing, and processing contracts, payments, and grants to our campaign allies, in coordination with our finance team.
Work in coordination with our communications and campaign teams to draft and/or project manage materials such as social media toolkits, updates for members, campaign reports, translations, and more.
Develop and steward systems, protocols, and tools that help the campaigns unit plan ahead and stay on track. Support our campaign leadership in identifying bottlenecks and coordination needs across campaigns, and developing creative solutions that maximize resources.
Play a core organizing role to advance tactics across our campaign and program areas as assigned, based on evolving organizational and campaign priorities.
Ensure accreditations and work plans with the U.N., WHO, and other international institutions are maintained and up-to-date, with support from campaigns team leadership.
