Job description

Senior Program Officer, Gender and Reproductive Equity Grantmaking (CLSFP)

ABOUT THE POSITION

The Senior Program Officer (SPO) for Reproductive Knowledge, Freedom and Power is a member of the Gender and Reproductive Equity (GRE) Portfolio and will be based in Schusterman’s Washington, DC or New York, NY office. This new role is part of a growing GRE team, working to increase women’s – particular Black women, women of color and non-binary people’s: Political power and leadership, Knowledge, freedom and power to determine their reproductive lives, Economic power and Freedom from sexual harassment and violence

The SPO will have overall leadership for the GRE Portfolio’s Reproductive Knowledge, Freedom and Power strategy. Working with the Senior Director and the GRE team, the SPO will build out national and state strategies to further three intersecting areas of work: Comprehensive sex-ed; Birth equity and justice; and Abortion access

Because the entire GRE portfolio is relatively new, the SPO will also have opportunities to support the development of other strategies and grantmaking across the portfolio.

The GRE team’s grantmaking supports organizations that use a race and gender lens to forward: political leadership development; civic engagement and organizing; policy and political advocacy; narrative and culture change; and creative, people-centered direct services that have the potential for system-wide impact. The SPO should be open to experimentation and taking calculated risks on new approaches/leaders that meet the current political moment and reproductive healthcare infrastructure needs.
