He/she/they will have a proven ability to foster engagement among diverse — and even competing — groups, ranging from policy makers to local partners. He/she/they will be an exceptionally quick learner, thrive in a collaborative environment, and be able to work both independently and as a team.
The candidate should also have a deep familiarity with the SEAA community. The individual reports to the Director of National Policy and is a critical member of SEARAC’s policy team.
This position is based in Washington, D.C.
