  • Identify legislative and regulatory opportunities to advance the use of government data for research and improve government decision-making.
  • Coordinate with CPL's research teams so they can generate relevant deliverables for Sacramento-based audiences.

Internal CPL Leadership

  • Keep CPL leadership and staff educated on active and emerging policy issues and opportunities, as well as legislative deadlines and Sacramento-based events that are relevant to CPL's research areas.
  • Work with CPL's communications team and research staff to develop policy briefs, testimony, and other materials.
  • Mentor CPL staff on legislative processes and effective policy communications.
  • Manage part- or full-time contractors or staff for communications or event planning.

    • Stakeholder Engagement

  • Serve as CPL's primary representative in Sacramento.
  • Build and maintain relationships as a trusted research and analysis resource for key players in Sacramento.
  • Communicate complex research findings to policymakers, agency leaders, and advocacy partners in clear, actionable ways.
  • Organize briefings, testimony, public events, and other outreach to share research findings and policy recommendations.

    • Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of professional experience in California state government, the Legislature, or related policy roles.
  • Ability to leverage an existing network of trusted relationships with Sacramento-based policymakers and staff.
  • Deep understanding of California's legislative, budgetary, and regulatory processes.
  • Demonstrated success translating research or technical analysis into actionable policy recommendations.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with a diverse range of stakeholders, including academic researchers, agency leaders, elected officials, and community partners.
  • Knowledge of CPL's mission and demonstrated ability to advance evidence-informed policy.
  • Demonstrated skill in advancing equity and understanding how policy impacts a variety of California communities.
  • Bachelor's degree in related area and / or equivalent experience / training.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional experience in California state government, the Legislature, or related policy roles.
  • Experience working in one of CPL's major policy areas (criminal justice, homelessness, workforce, education, social safety net, health).
