Program Associate, Reproductive Freedom Alliance

The Governors Action Alliance (GovAct) is a nonpartisan nonprofit initiative that helps Governors work across state lines to champion fundamental freedoms and improve people’s lives. GovAct serves as a central platform for collaboration across Governors’ Offices – incubating, launching, and supporting alliances of Governors. These alliances share cutting-edge policy and legal approaches to some of the most challenging and critical national issues, including reproductive freedom, democracy, public safety, and public health. Currently, GovAct supports the Reproductive Freedom Alliance, Governors Safeguarding Democracy, the Governors Public Health Alliance, and other Governor-led initiatives and collaborations. For each of these Alliances and initiatives, GovAct helps: 

• Build capacity and expertise by connecting experts across Governors' Offices and organizations, tailoring best practices, model policies, and legislation, and advancing other legal and policy innovations for Governors to advance bold policies; 

• Develop innovative ideas for collaboration by breaking down silos and advancing creative ideas; 

• Advance affirmative agendas that Governors can use to maximize their powers to protect fundamental freedoms and counteract federal overreach; and 
• Partner with other nonprofit organizations, experts, and other stakeholders to advance shared goals. 

The Reproductive Freedom Alliance (RFA) is nonpartisan, nonprofit coalition of Governors working together to strengthen and protect reproductive freedom across the United States. RFA fosters cross-state learning and coordination to help governor’s offices strategize, collaborate, and bring solutions to scale. Among other initiatives, RFA supports governors in:     

• Safeguarding access to abortion care;   

• Protecting patients, providers, and helpers;   

• Expanding contraceptive coverage and access; and    
• Making reproductive health care access more affordable, accessible, and equitable.   

GovAct is seeking a savvy, well-organized Program Associate for RFA to provide comprehensive administrative, operational, and project support. Reporting to the Executive Director of RFA, the Associate will help manage day-to-day operations, meetings, communications, and special projects, ensuring that the alliance’s work is executed efficiently, professionally, and with attention to detail. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment, brings strong organizational judgment, and is eager to contribute to the growth of a Governor-led initiative. The role calls for versatility and the willingness to wear many hats while navigating between high-level goals and task execution. This is an excellent opportunity for a detailed-oriented professional to help support one of the most consequential Governor-led initiatives in the country at a moment when that work has never mattered more. This position is remote, with the possibility of hybrid work in Washington, D.C., or in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a preference for an Eastern Time zone work schedule. Some travel may be required.
