Policy Director/Senior Policy Director (AES)

Policy Director/Senior Policy Director (AES) The Alliance for Early Success convenes and supports a community of early-childhood advocates spanning all 50 states and the District of Columbia, which ensures these allies have the connections and resources they need to secure the crucial state funding and policies that provide children what they need in the early years to realize their full potential for a lifetime. We provide our state allies the latest strategy, research, and expertise from our national allies. We organize peer learning opportunities that help them replicate success and avoid pitfalls.

Funded by many of the leading investors in early childhood philanthropy, the Alliance’s unique support of state advocacy is crucial to the field. ABOUT THE POSITION In this role, you will cultivate authentic partnerships within our network, seize opportunities, champion equity, guide strategy, foster connections, help grantees apply for and execute Alliance grants, and leverage your issue-area expertise – all in pursuit of state policies that expand funding and improve outcomes for young children and their families.
