About Community Catalyst
Community Catalyst is the national health justice organization working to ensure care is accessible, affordable, and accountable to the people it serves—and that racial bias does not determine who receives care. For more than two decades, Community Catalyst has partnered with state and community advocates to change systems before harm occurs. The organization integrates policy reform, community organizing, data science, narrative strategy, and thought leadership to advance structural change in health care.
The Opportunity
The Associate Director for State Policy is responsible for assisting the Director of Policy and Vice President for Policy & Government Affairs in developing and carrying out Community Catalyst’s state policy agenda, ensuring alignment with federal policy priorities and partner needs.
The individual in this position will provide leadership to the policy team in identifying and capitalizing on trends in state health policy and help shape the support that Community Catalyst provides to partners across our programs and projects. The individual will need to work with colleagues across the organization, think about how various initiatives intersect, and how we coordinate and collaborate within the organization.
The individual is expected to motivate policy team colleagues and technical assistance providers to consistently provide excellent service to our external partners as well as represent the needs and goals of those partners within the organization. The individual will also need to build relationships with external partners – including state and community based organizations.
