Manager, Government Relations -- The Pew Charitable Trusts
2016-4557
Manager, Government Relations
The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today’s most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and invigorate civic life.
We are an independent nonprofit organization – the sole beneficiary of seven individual trusts established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew.
Our work lays the foundation for effective policy solutions by informing and engaging citizens, linking diverse interests to pursue common cause and insisting on tangible results. Our projects encourage efficient, responsive governments – at the local, state, national and international levels – serving the public interests.
With offices in Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Brussels and London and staff in other regions of the United States as well as Australia, Pew provides an exciting learning environment and the opportunity to work with highly talented individuals. We are a dynamic, rapidly evolving organization that values creativity and innovative thinking and fosters strong teamwork with mutual respect.
Pew Government Relations
Government Relations was established in 2006 to complement and advance Pew’s work in the public policy arena. In 2010, the department was reorganized and staff that had been spread throughout the institution were consolidated into a single unit. Government Relations is comprised of a Senior Vice President and (currently) five directors overseeing advocacy of Pew’s programmatic agenda as well as operations and institutional advocacy. The senior director for operations and his team focus on supporting Pew-wide government relations priorities as well as assisting the efforts of the other deputies. The priorities of the unit are to: (1) provide relevant, timely and insightful advice on legislation of direct relevance to the Trusts, its programs and advocacy goals; (2) develop close effective relationships with key congressional offices, the administration and the government affairs staffs of major trade groups relevant to our work; (3) develop Pew’s annual advocacy strategy as well as manage and facilitate its implementation; (4) work hand in hand with program staff and policy experts to guide advocacy from inception to successful completion; (5) coordinate, collaborate and communicate with and between Government Relations and program staff to advance institutional priorities; and (6) monitor, track, review and approve all interactions between Pew staff and government officials including participation in coalition efforts and work with our external stakeholders.
Position Overview
Pew’s “eAdvocacy” efforts largely split into two categories of work – online grassroots organizing and direct policy maker outreach. Online grassroots organizing leverages email, the web, and social media to generate petition signatures, constituent messages to elected officials, public comments on proposed regulations, and tweets/posts. This work is done at a state, federal, and international (European Union, Canada, and Australia) level. Pew manages an advocacy subscriber base of ~250k active online advocates organized by policy portfolio or individual program. Direct policy maker outreach promotes Pew research, policy positions, web content (videos, infographics, etc.), and events to federal, state, and local policy makers and their staff for educational and advocacy purposes.
The Manager, Government Relations, is responsible for the successful execution of this work, while monitoring performance, consulting programs on eAdvocacy strategy, ensuring strategic list growth, and staying abreast of industry best practices/technologies. The Manager supervises a staff of two Associates who are each responsible for a portion of the Pew program portfolio – attending program meetings, drafting/creating content, consulting teams, and monitoring performance.

• Ensure online tools are functioning properly, guaranteeing delivery of emails to advocacy subscribers and constituent messages to elected officials.
• Oversee relationships with related vendors.

• Develop and maintain relationships with program operations and partner staff to ensure a high level of information sharing and awareness regarding new initiatives and changes in Web and electronic outreach.

Qualifications:
• Strong strategic and tactical online advocacy and communication skills honed by previous web communications management experience in either the for-profit or nonprofit arena. Detailed understanding of and experience with the online space.
• Eight years of online outreach experience with a proven track record in managing online communications programs – specifically using email. Demonstrated success managing vendors and suppliers is required.
