Have you ever wanted to work for Students for Sensible Drug Policy?

We’re hiring a U.S. Federal Policy Liaison! Working for SSDP is a great opportunity to serve our network of students and young people who are leading the charge to end the disastrous War on Drugs and heal from the harms of drug prohibition. SSDP is overseen by our Board of Directors, which maintains a majority of network-elected members and keeps SSDP accountable to the people we serve.

The position will be remote and the anticipated start date is January 11th. The position is expected to last for approximately 4 months, but the start and end dates are flexible and the position is eligible for renewal.

SSDP is seeking a U.S. Federal Policy Liaison to assist in developing and implementing SSDP’s federal legislative strategies in the United States. The U.S. Federal Policy Liaison works with SSDP’s United States Federal Advocacy Facilitator to analyze the policy landscape, develop organizational positions, assist in lobbying efforts, and optimize SSDP’s effectiveness in policy change, drug education, direct action, and other areas of grassroots organizing using our legislative presence.
