State Government Affairs Manager

The Michigan League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is one of Michigan’s largest, most impactful political advocacy organizations tackling drinking water contamination, the rapidly-worsening impacts of climate change, and efforts to undermine access to the ballot. We are seeking a full-time State Government Affairs Manager to be a part of our day-to-day presence at the Capitol. This will be someone who knows the ins and outs of the legislative process, understands how to build influence, and can move our environmental and democracy priorities forward in real time.

The ideal candidate will have legislative and government affairs experience, including a track record of advocating for policy change. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for someone with deep relationships in Lansing, strong political instincts, and the ability to work independently to push their priorities forward. They will serve as a core player on Michigan LCV’s lobby team. They will need to be an excellent writer, communicator, and ‘people-person’ who is excited to steward existing relationships and develop new ones.

This position offers the opportunity to directly impact environmental and voting rights policy in Michigan. The State Government Affairs Manager, alongside a team of tenacious colleagues, will advocate for strong environmental protections, and build and amplify the voices of communities of color and other key constituencies who are disproportionately impacted by environmental issues.
