Campaign Manager/ Director, Supreme Court Reform

Employer: The Brennan Center

Location: Washington, DC

Category: Director

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve our systems of democracy and justice. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Brennan Center’s work ranges from voting rights to court reform, from ending mass incarceration to preserving constitutional protections in the fight against terrorism. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in the courts, in Congress and the states, and in the court of public opinion.

The Brennan Center’s Kohlberg Center on the U.S. Supreme Court was established in 2024 to advocate for reform of the Supreme Court to prevent ethical abuses, reduce partisanship and extremism, and ensure that the Court plays a more balanced and appropriate role in our constitutional democracy. Building on the Brennan Center’s long-standing work, including in support of Supreme Court term limits and ethics reform, the Kohlberg Center promotes research and policy development, pursues policy advocacy, and engages in broad public education.

Manage contractors helping with research, communications, advertisements, or events.
Maintain regular communication with internal stakeholders about political factors and developments affecting the Supreme Court reform strategy.
Work collaboratively with relevant Brennan Center policy, communications, and federal affairs experts to execute Supreme Court reform strategy. Advise on relevant lobbying and external communications strategies.
The Brennan Center is committed to advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace.  We continuously work with our staff to find new ways to increase diversity and to build and cultivate an inclusive and equitable work environment, where everyone can be their true self and feel a strong sense of belonging.  As such, we seek to hire employees who have a commitment to and/or experience with diversity, equity, and inclusion.  In addition, we expect employees to participate/contribute with DEI initiatives or activities with recruitment, retention, and workplace culture.

Requirements:

Area of special focus: conference presentations – Represent the Professional Development Team at conferences for local election officials as our primary conference traveler.

Relationship building – You are comfortable meeting new people and making connections between your work. You have experience representing an organization at public events, communicating organization mission, answering questions, and pursuing partnerships with a target audience.

Strong spoken and written communication skills – You can present complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. You document and share project plans that promote alignment with collaborators.
