Our family of organizations consists of OneAmerica (501(c)3), OneAmerica Votes (OA) (501(c)4), OneAmerica Votes Justice Fund (State PAC), OneAmerica Votes Justice for All Fund(Federal PAC).\nOA envisions a peaceful world where every person’s human rights and dignity are respected, where communities appreciate differences and stand together for justice and equality, and where each person contributes to the common good. All of our work is grounded in our Theory of Change and guided by the conviction that people directly impacted should lead our movement for justice because they are best equipped to create real solutions that build lasting power.\nYou'll be stepping into an organization in a strong position: 25 years of relationship-building and political credibility, stable and growing funding, and deeply committed leadership and staff. Immigrants are under attack nationally, and WA is where we push back, win, and actively model for the rest of the country what it looks like to fully include immigrants as part of the fabric of our communities.\nThis is a chance to be at the center of that fight: to lead a resistance movement inside an organization committed to long-term power building and real wins for immigrants in WA. For the right person, there is no more exciting or meaningful place to work.\nTHE OPPORTUNITY\nImmigrants and refugees are facing significant political and policy threats. We are also at a moment where there are opportunities to advance meaningful protections and build a more inclusive future. Washington State is a critical place to defend our communities, win policy victories, and demonstrate what it means to fully include immigrants in the fabric of our democracy.\nThe Senior Policy Manager will play a central role in shaping and advancing OneAmerica’s policy agenda. This position combines deep policy analysis, strategic judgment, legislative advocacy, and relationship-building to advance policies that improve the lives of immigrant and refugee communities and strengthen a multiracial working-class.\nReporting to the Chief of Staff, the Senior Policy Manager will lead a portfolio of proactive and defensive policy priorities, with a primary focus on Washington State legislative and administrative advocacy and additional responsibility for monitoring federal developments and supporting targeted municipal campaigns.\nThis is a role for someone who can move fluidly between analyzing complex policy, identifying emerging opportunities and threats, developing and implementing strategic responses, and coordinating the people and partnerships needed to act. The Senior Policy Manager will have significant ownership over assigned policy portfolios, campaigns, coalitions, and projects, working closely with organizing, communications, organizational leadership, community partners, and contract lobbyists.\nThe Senior Policy Manager will also supervise a Policy Analyst, ensuring that policy analysis, legislative intelligence, lobbying, and community priorities translate into coordinated and effective advocacy.\nWHAT YOU’LL LEAD\nPolicy Analysis, Development & Strategy\nYou will help shape OneAmerica’s policy agenda for our core campaign areas of immigrant defense and inclusion, childcare and education, and democracy reform by identifying opportunities to advance our mission, anticipating emerging threats, and developing clear, actionable recommendations.\nMonitor and analyze legislation, administrative actions, agency policies, budgets, regulations, and emerging policy developments.\nTrack priority legislation and identify opportunities, threats, unintended consequences, and emerging attacks affecting immigrant and refugee communities.\nDevelop clear organizational analysis and strategic recommendations regarding policy positions, amendments, interventions, and potential responses.\nDevelop proactive policy proposals that materially improve conditions for immigrant and refugee communities and advance a broader multiracial working-class agenda.\nTranslate complex policy and legislative developments into accessible analysis for staff, members, partners, and organizational leadership.\nState Legislative & Administrative Advocacy\nYou will lead and coordinate OneAmerica’s Washington State policy and legislative advocacy, helping move priorities from policy development through implementation.\nConduct deep policy analysis and participate in policy development from concept through implementation.\nEngage state agencies on implementation, administrative policy, emerging questions, and opportunities for advocacy.\nAlong with the Chief of Staff, coordinate the work of OneAmerica’s contract lobbyists, ensuring lobbying priorities and activities align with organizational strategy, policy analysis, and community priorities.\nIntegrate legislative intelligence and political assessments from contract lobbyists with OneAmerica’s policy analysis, organizing priorities, and community perspective to inform legislative strategy and organizational decision-making.\nServe as the primary internal point of coordination for contract lobbyists, Policy staff, and relevant OA teams on legislative inquiries, partner requests, testimony, and other advocacy opportunities.\nSet clear priorities and expectations for lobbyist engagement, monitor progress on priority legislation, and identify opportunities to adjust strategy in response to changing political conditions.\nHelp shape in-building legislative strategy for priority bills, including amendments, targets, negotiations, testimony, coalition strategy, and escalation.\nIdentify defensive threats early and recommend organizational responses.\nFederal & Local Policy\nYou will help OneAmerica respond strategically to policy developments beyond the state level while identifying opportunities to advance change locally.\nMonitor significant federal policy, regulatory, administrative, and legislative developments affecting immigrant and refugee communities.\nMaintain relationships with relevant national advocacy organizations and federal policy partners.\nAssess implications of federal developments for Washington communities.\nCoordinate organizational engagement when federal action is warranted.\nSupport municipal policy advocacy on a strategic basis.\nProvide policy support for local childcare campaigns and initiatives.\nHelp develop and support local campaigns that improve conditions for immigrants and refugees.\nProvide policy analysis and technical assistance to organizing staff and community partners working on local advocacy.\nIdentify opportunities where local policy can serve as a model or pathway toward broader statewide change.\nCommunity-Informed Policy Development\nYou will ensure that the experiences, expertise, and priorities of immigrant and refugee communities meaningfully shape OneAmerica’s policy agenda.\nTranslate complex policy questions into accessible language and concepts that enable meaningful participation by a diverse membership of immigrants and refugees.\nDevelop opportunities for members and community partners to provide input into policy priorities, proposals, and organizational positions.\nListen for how proposed policies would affect people's lives, not simply how they read on paper.\nIncorporate member and partner feedback into policy development and recommendations.\nWork with organizing staff to ensure community priorities meaningfully inform legislative and administrative advocacy.\nHelp members understand how government decisions are made and where community participation can influence those decisions.\nTrain members on campaign strategy and policy proposals\nPolicy Team Leadership\nYou will build a coordinated, accountable policy function that connects internal expertise, external advocacy, and organizational strategy.\nSupervise and support the Policy Analyst, including setting priorities, providing strategic direction and feedback, supporting professional development, and ensuring accountability for deliverables.\nEstablish clear roles, responsibilities, communication practices, and decision-making processes across internal policy staff and contract lobbyists.\nTranslate OneAmerica’s organizational priorities into coordinated policy, legislative, and lobbying work plans with clear objectives, timelines, and measures of success.\nFacilitate regular coordination among the Policy Analyst, contract lobbyists, and relevant internal teams to ensure timely information-sharing, strategic alignment, and effective execution.\nAssess the effectiveness of policy and lobbying strategies, identify gaps or emerging needs, and adjust priorities and assignments as necessary.\nEnsure policy analysis, legislative
