About GovAct

Governors Action Alliance (GovAct) is a fiscally sponsored nonprofit nonpartisan initiative that helps Governors work across state lines to champion fundamental freedoms and improve people's lives. GovAct serves as a centralized platform for collaboration across Governors’ Offices—incubating, launching, and supporting alliances of Governors. These alliances share cutting-edge policy and legal approaches to some of the most challenging and critical issues we face, from reproductive freedom, democracy, public safety, and public health.

Currently, GovAct supports the Reproductive Freedom Alliance, Governors Safeguarding Democracy, the Governors Public Health Alliance, and other Governor collaborations, including convenings, discussion series, and task forces. Specifically, GovAct helps:

• Build capacity and expertise by connecting experts across Governors' Offices and organizations, tailoring best practices, model policies, and legislation, and advancing other legal and policy innovations for Governors to advance bold policies;

• Develop innovative ideas for collaboration by breaking out of silos and advancing creative initiatives;

• Advance affirmative agendas for Governors to maximize their powers to protect fundamental freedoms and counteract federal overreach; and

• Partner with advocacy organizations and other stakeholders.

The Opportunity

GovAct seeks a sharp, highly motivated, well-organized individual who loves details, thrives in fast-paced environments, and is a consummate team player to serve as a GovAct Special Projects Associate in the Office of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This individual will play a key role in advancing the CEO’s strategic priorities and organizational vision. Reporting to the Special Projects Manager to the CEO, this individual will support non-routine projects, drive execution across teams, and will help solve complex, evolving challenges that require strategy, coordination, and a nimble approach. The ideal candidate will believe deeply in GovAct’s mission to support governors in protecting fundamental freedoms – and be eager to help execute on that mission in a rapidly evolving and dynamic environment.

This role will require some travel to attend in-person meetings and functions and might require after-hours/weekend work. The role is remote, but with an opportunity for hybrid if working in the San Francisco Bay Area.
