SUMMARY
State Directors are responsible for developing our strategy, approach and local message to win
our campaigns. The State Director will also meet with local decision-makers and opinion
leaders, and represent our organization to allies and the media. State Directors help to build and
foster our membership, grassroots and online base of support. Finally, the State Director will
help recruit staff and volunteers to join us, fundraise for our programs, and maintain good
systems for tracking and building on our work.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Program: Run our in-state program participating in and overseeing policy development,
research and messaging.
Advocacy: Bring problems and solutions to the attention of decision-makers—including state
legislators, people on the governor's staff, state regulators and local officials. Develop
appropriate messages and materials for making the case to decision-makers. Build relationships
with key players in the state, the region and at the federal level.
Campaign strategy: Develop plans to win on our environmental campaigns. Assess
opportunities for building political support for our agenda through coalition-building, grassroots
organizing, media coverage, endorsements and message development.
Media outreach: Serve as the public spokesperson for our environmental campaigns through
media events, press releases, editorial board meetings and other outreach with a goal of
building name recognition for the organization, educating the public about our issues, and
building and demonstrating support for our positions.
Coalition building: Identify, reach out and work with partners who can help us win our
campaigns.
Fundraising: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff and meet with
large donors, all to bring more resources to campaigns we're waging to protect our environment.
Work with our citizen outreach staff to build and develop our membership base.
Staff recruitment and development: Recruit new staff and volunteers to increase our impact
and build our power.
QUALIFICATIONS
Candidates must have at least 3-5 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified
candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to environmental issues and to citizen-based
social change, as well as a track record of leadership. We're looking for goal-driven and results-
oriented individuals who have excellent verbal, writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak
persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for the work. The ideal candidate will
have experience in state-level political advocacy and organizing, a proven ability to recruit, train
and develop staff, the ability to raise money, and demonstrated success in building relationships
with the full spectrum of environmental and political stakeholders.

distributing food in ways that won't destroy the environment and threaten human health.
