Center for Progressive Reform seeks Executive Director - $120k to $150k
The Center for Progressive Reform (CPR) seeks a visionary leader and skilled manager to be our next Executive Director. We are looking for candidates who have a deep commitment to inclusive and progressive environmental, labor, and public health policies.
CPR is a national non-profit organization founded in 2002 to protect and strengthen regulatory safeguards for health, safety, and the environment. Our model to drive change is unique: we collaborate with our network of more than 60 nationally recognized legal scholars to influence policymakers on a wide range of critical policy and law issues. Our scholars and staff bring deep expertise to the public policy arena, from translating scholarly legal work for policymakers, publishing op-eds in national news outlets, testifying before Congress, weighing in on regulatory proposals, working the media, collaborating with like-minded organizations, and helping the public engage with the policy process. In 2020, our scholars and staff have been quoted, cited, interviewed, and published hundreds of times in nearly 200 different media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, the Associated Press, CNN, NPR, and NBC News. More than 130 of those stories were related to COVID-19.
The Executive Director (ED) will have overall strategic and operational responsibility for CPR’s staff, programs, execution, and evolution of its mission. The ED will focus on leadership, vision, and development with a comprehensive understanding of programs, operations, and business plans.
The Executive Director will further CPR’s mission through formulating and executing on a vision for the organization as it enters its third decade, which will include broadening and diversifying CPR’s development capacity, its impact, and its outreach. The ED will oversee the composition, organization, and engagement of the pillars of CPR’s community: an eight-person staff, legal scholars, donors, and digital and conventional media outlets. The position is full-time, in the Washington, DC area, and the ED reports to CPR’s Board of Directors.
