Title: Director of Institutional Writing and Strategy – Democracy

Status: Exempt
Reports to: Vice President of Institutional Partnerships
Positions Reporting to this Position: None
Location: Flexible (the employee may decide whether to work remotely and/or from an LCVEF office)
Travel Requirements: Up to 5%
Union Position: Yes
Job Classification Level: E
Salary Range (depending on experience) : $90,236 - $110,236
General Description:
LCV Education Fund (LCVEF), in partnership with its sister organization, LCV, is one of the only major environmental groups and the biggest issue-area organization that has made significant strides and investments in democracy. The communities most affected by climate change, pollution, and environmental injustice are the same communities that our country has systematically excluded from the democratic process and who continue to face targeted efforts to limit civic participation. Beyond the threats to climate action that attacks on our democracy pose, voting rights rollbacks are fundamentally unjust and have consequences that reach far beyond the environment. A concerted effort to protect both is critical. To meet this challenge and support the ongoing growth of our democracy programs, LCVEF is seeking an exceptional writer and fundraiser to join our team.
Building on our highly regarded national nonpartisan civic engagement program that has registered and turned out millions of underrepresented voters since 2012, we are actively growing a coordinated state democracy program across our 30+ state affiliates, collectively known as the Conservation Voters Movement (CVM). In 2023 alone, this emerging program supported 140 state policy victories for voting rights and democracy and is now poised to expand with new support from funding identified through the work of this position.

General Description:
LCV Education Fund (LCVEF), in partnership with its sister organization, LCV, is one of the only major environmental groups and the biggest issue-area organization that has made significant strides and investments in democracy. The communities most affected by climate change, pollution, and environmental injustice are the same communities that our country has systematically excluded from the democratic process and who continue to face targeted efforts to limit civic participation. Beyond the threats to climate action that attacks on our democracy pose, voting rights rollbacks are fundamentally unjust and have consequences that reach far beyond the environment. A concerted effort to protect both is critical. To meet this challenge and support the ongoing growth of our democracy programs, LCVEF is seeking an exceptional writer and fundraiser to join our team.
