The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing a cross-functional research portfolio, including message testing, opposition research, and issue-specific studies, to guide national and state strategies. This role requires a leader with deep expertise in reproductive health policy, health finance, and Medicaid, who can ensure the organization is recognized as a leader in sexual and reproductive health policy.

They must be adept at translating complex data into clear, actionable strategies and be capable of influencing decision-makers across the health and policy landscape.
