  • Own and direct onX's government relations and policy consultant relationship, setting priorities and turning federal developments into clear decisions and actions.
  • Shape onX's policy positions with internal experts and leadership, keeping them specific, defensible, and nonpartisan.
  • Identify and manage priority nonprofit and community partners that advance A&S program goals.
  • Lead and participate in Washington, D.C. engagements with congressional offices, agency stakeholders, and advocacy partners.
  • Define and track success metrics across grants, education, partnerships, stewardship, and policy.
  • Oversee development of the annual A&S Impact Report.
  • Synthesize qualitative and quantitative inputs into executive-ready updates and present clear recommendations, risks, trade-offs, and opportunities to senior leadership.
  • Lead internal communication for A&S and partner with PR on external and media representation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Public Policy, Environmental Studies, Nonprofit Management, Business, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

  • Experience working across nonprofit, public-sector, government affairs, or other mission-driven partnership environments.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders with and without direct authority and put enterprise outcomes ahead of their own lane.
  • Strong strategic thinking, prioritization, and judgment, including the ability to surface trade-offs and make recommendations in ambiguous or evolving environments.
  • A track record of taking ownership and moving work forward without waiting for perfect clarity or ideal conditions.
  • Comfort operating as both strategist and doer, setting direction while executing hands-on with a small team.
