The position will advance PeopleForBikes’ efforts to make the U.S. the best place in the world to ride a bike by overseeing the organization’s state and local policy agenda. The Senior Manager of State and Local Policy is responsible for the management and implementation of PeopleForBikes' state and local policy agenda, ensuring alignment with the organization’s mission and priorities, managing lobbying efforts, and building relationships with advocacy partners while coordinating with PeopleForBikes’ federal policy team and other departments to achieve policy goals.

Responsibilities
Qualifications
Don’t meet every requirement? No problem. Studies show that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they do, so we encourage you to apply anyway. PeopleForBikes will consider alternative ways that an applicant may have gained the required qualifications outside of traditional pathways.
Compensation and Benefits
This “at-will” position offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience. The salary range will be decided based on the applicant selected with a range of $70,000 to $85,000.
PeopleForBikes offers an excellent and comprehensive benefits package, including paid health insurance for employees, a generous paid-time-off (PTO) policy including 23 days plus federal holidays, paid parental leave, a flexible work schedule including work-from-home options, and optional participation in a deferred compensation retirement plan with immediate vesting of a competitive employer match. In addition, we provide long-term disability insurance, a cell phone plan, and a laptop computer, along with many other benefits like industry discounts. As icing on the cake, PeopleForBikes also pays you to ride your bike.
At PeopleForBikes, our agreed-upon set of team norms are what drives us to do our best every day we show up to work. Our core purpose is to make life great and our core values are to put others first, including everyone, and it can always be better. We’ll talk more in the interview process about what these mean, but for now, know that we continually strive to build and strengthen our team, we work together effectively to serve our mission, and we have fun. Beyond that, we’re casual, we work flexibly with remote work allowed, and we really love dogs. You don’t have to be an amazing bike rider to work here — what matters to us is a desire to work alongside passionate people improving the world through bikes (and hopefully you love bikes too).
