Policy Director

REPRO Rising Virginia (RRVA) is pleased to seek applications and nominations for the position of Policy Director. As Virginia’s only independent, state-based reproductive rights and freedom advocacy organization, RRVA plays a pivotal role in protecting and advancing reproductive rights and fighting for increased access to reproductive healthcare throughout the Commonwealth. With a dedicated team and strong community partnerships, RRVA is at a critical moment of transformation and growth as it seeks to focus its impact and adapt to the evolving post-Roe landscape.

The Policy Director is an essential strategic leader within RRVA and is responsible for shaping and implementing the organization’s policy and legislative programming. This role involves working closely with the Executive Director, staff, and state and national partners to advance RRVA’s policy and legislative priorities. The Policy Director will play a key role in driving RRVA's mission to build political power for reproductive freedom and ensure that every Virginian can make personal reproductive healthcare decisions without stigma or interference.

The ideal candidate will bring at least 2-5 years of experience in legislative advocacy and issue-based campaigns, with a demonstrated commitment to centering the needs and voices of those most affected by reproductive or systemic injustice. Additionally, 2 or more years of experience managing staff or consultants is required. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, experience implementing strategic planning, and strong organizational abilities are essential. The Policy Director will lead efforts to implement effective policy and communication strategies that align with RRVA’s mission and values.

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Policy Director will collaborate with a diverse team and engage with stakeholders across Virginia and beyond. This role requires a deep sense of integrity, collaboration, and dedication to equitable practices both in the workplace and the field. The Policy Director will also participate in community engagement activities and represent RRVA at relevant events and coalitions to further the organization’s impact and reach.
