The Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence envisions a world where every one of us, in every zip code, lives free from the threat of gun violence. We bring together impacted communities, advocates, public health experts, and policy-makers to prevent gun violence in all its forms. We are seeking a passionate Policy Specialist to join our team and build communal power that will drive policy-making and support violence prevention initiatives in Massachusetts.
The Policy Specialist will be responsible for co-creating and implementing the policy priorities of the Coalition, including conducting research to support policy initiatives. Additionally, the Policy Specialist will coordinate volunteers and allies to advocate for our policy initiatives, both at the State House and throughout the Commonwealth.
Responsibilities:
What we are looking for in a candidate:
This is a full-time, exempt position that will report to the CEO. The Policy Specialist will be joining a small, tight-knit team that values collaboration and prioritizes a healthy work culture.
We have a hybrid work environment, with staff coming into our Boston-based office roughly twice a week. The Policy Specialist will be expected to travel around the state as needed for events and initiatives.
Individuals from communities impacted by gun violence are strongly encouraged to apply. Studies have shown that women and BIPOC individuals are less likely to apply for jobs if they are not a perfect fit for every criterion. If you feel that this position may be right for you, we encourage you to apply regardless.
Salary and benefits:
The salary range for most candidates is $50,000 - $55,000, depending on experience. Benefits include a stipend for health and dental coverage, paid vacation, holidays, sick days, and support for remote work set-up. We offer ongoing training opportunities, in a fast-paced, dynamic, supportive, and collaborative setting.
The Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence is an equal opportunity employer. Women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and members of other historically disenfranchised groups are especially welcome and encouraged to apply.
