This is a benefits eligible, full-time non-exempt position that will require 35 hours of work, with flexibility, during normal business hours, Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM ET. The salary range for this position is $107,000 to $115,000, commensurate with experience.  The position is remote and the preferred candidate is within a four hour radius of New York City. 

WHO WE ARE: 

NIRH and NIRH Action Fund fight for just and equitable access to reproductive health care and build political power for reproductive freedom. For decades, our strategy has been to go on the offensive, at the state and local level,  so we have a long track record of passing laws that are safeguarding and advancing access.    

In states and cities across the country, we launch campaigns, change policy, and elect  candidates who champion our cause, all by working hand-in-hand with reproductive health,  rights, and justice organizations; health care providers; and other groups invested in this fight.   We partner in communities where change is needed and where we can make a difference. At the national level, we engage in groundbreaking public opinion research, proactive policy initiatives, and innovative advocacy campaigns to help reshape the national conversation about reproductive freedom.  

Our approach to advocacy, policy, and politics strives to center the people who are most  impacted by barriers to care, historically underserved, and often under-represented — Black women and Black communities, Indigenous and other communities of color, low-income people, and immigrants.  

We don’t just push back against restrictions on reproductive autonomy; we fight for a society in  which everyone has the freedom and ability to control their reproductive and sexual lives.
