PL+US: Paid Leave for the US is hiring a Partnerships Manager to join our fast-moving team fighting to win paid family leave for everyone in the United States.
About us
In just four short years, PL+US has won paid leave for nearly 8 million people. We've won change at some of the top employers in the country, including Walmart and Starbucks, and we're taking that momentum into the fight to win national public policy. Paid leave is poised to take off as the next high-profile national issue.
Since our founding, the PL+US team has tripled in size and has cultivated a culture that is bold, curious, real, excellent, and compassionate. We are agile, collaborative problem solvers who are passionate about winning paid leave and we mean it when we say that family comes first, for those we fight alongside and for our own team.

The PM is joining PL+US at an exciting inflection point and will play a critical, timely, and game-changing role in winning landmark legislation that will change the lives of millions of people.
You are an ideal candidate for this role if you are a skilled relationship manager and strong communicator with a background in business and/or partnership development. You love figuring out what makes people tick and you're thoughtful about what motivates and incentivizes companies to act. You are someone who sees exciting possibilities to take action, and can bring others along to join the fight. You are energized by building new solutions to longstanding problems. You are also a collaborative, low-ego leader who isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves, and you share a deep commitment to racial and social justice.

Necessary Skills
You're passionate about paid leave, and want to be on the team that is going to win federal policy.
You prioritize building strong, ongoing partnerships with organizations, business leaders, and members of the press and look for opportunities to leverage these relationships to move the work forward.
You bring media and public-relations experience to help business leaders showcase their perspective on paid leave to a public audience.
You are a great communicator, both in writing and in speaking and love bringing people on-board to collaborate
You know how to prioritize and meet deadlines. You have a proven track record of completing work on time and prioritizing your workload effectively. You've demonstrated reliability with at least 5 years of successful professional experience.
You love getting the details right. You see the value in crossing every 't' and bring care and attention to all of your tasks, even if you've done them a hundred times before.
You're successful in a startup environment. You've worked collaboratively with a team that is learning-while-doing, and are excited to work responsively with program, development, and operations staff. You can offer corrections with kindness and good humor. You're not put off by a fast pace and frequent pivots.
You have a deep commitment to equity and inclusion. You understand why it's problematic that companies offer men less paid leave than women. You get why the fact that FMLA doesn't apply to siblings and grandparents can especially hurt communities of color. When you hear "family leave for everyone in the United States," you understand the deep community engagement and fundamental issue re-centering necessary to achieve that goal. You have a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and anti-oppression.
You're kind, to others and to yourself. We're building a team that's smart, fun, fast, supportive, passionate, and collaborative. That starts with people who are truly delighted and challenged by the work, and know how to bring their best selves to it every day.
