We’re Hiring: Communications Manager
Are you passionate about using communications to help ensure California policymakers do all they can to support healthy, thriving children?

Do you enjoy translating complex policy and research into compelling messages that resonate across audiences and partners? If so, we want you on our team.

- Is organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, with experience managing projects from start to finish and meeting deadlines.
- Enjoys building relationships and working collaboratively with colleagues, coalition partners, and external vendors.
