Job Description
The National Employment Law Project (NELP) seeks a skilled relationship-builder with a talent for managing complex projects to join our team in the role of Program Manager or Senior Program Manager in the Berkeley, California office.
Who We Are
Founded in 1969, the nonprofit National Employment Law Project (NELP) is a leading advocacy organization with the mission to build a just and inclusive economy where all workers have expansive rights and thrive in good jobs. Together with local, state, and national partners, NELP advances its mission through transformative legal and policy solutions, research, capacity building, and communications. Our victories over the last decade have impacted the lives of an estimated 100 million workers and their families. We lead and collaborate in fights for higher pay and just benefits, secure and safe jobs, and support at each stage in a worker’s life. For more information, read our annual reports and explore our website: www.nelp.org
NELP has a team of 55 staff people based across offices in New York City, Washington D.C., and Berkeley, CA, with an 11-person Board of Directors, an annual budget of $14M, and hundreds of partners in the field with whom we work to further our mission.
What You Will Do
You will work with NELP’s staff of lawyers, policy experts, researchers, and strategic communications experts. You will primarily focus on coordinating and managing a groundbreaking statewide community and government agency partnership—the California Strategic Enforcement Partnership (CSEP), which was formed in 2016 to tackle wage theft in California. Through CSEP, community partners help to identify significant cases and support workers throughout the process. Although the position is primarily focused on CSEP at this time, there is an opportunity to expand into supporting our Worker Center Program. You will report to the Director of Worker Power.
You will coordinate and independently manage the ongoing work of CSEP to support the achievement of its vision and strategies by:
- Effectively building and maintaining relationships with CSEP partners and diverse stakeholders, with attention to complexity, power dynamics, and language justice.
- Supporting capacity building of worker centers and legal organizations in CSEP, including: identifying common challenges and opportunities, sharing learning and strategies from across the partnership, and connecting partnership participants with strategic research and communications support.
- Leveraging learnings from the CSEP model to promote community-agency partnerships, including developing materials such as policy briefs, brochures, presentations, and talking points.
- Supporting CSEP with overall independent project management, including planning and executing meetings, ranging from one-on-one meetings with funder stakeholders to 100+ person annual gatherings, with support from colleagues and consultants.
- Supporting a workplace culture that fosters growth and professional development.
- Actively contributing to NELP’s work in becoming an anti-racist organization that reflects and embodies internally the values of dignity, justice, equity, and inclusion.
Who You Are
- You have at least four+ years’ advocacy, organizing, and/or coalition-building experience promoting labor and employment rights, civil rights and racial justice, or other social or economic justice issues. Experience with fundraising is a plus.
- You are a leader who builds relationships that foster trust and transparency across lines of difference and have a track record of developing and maintaining alliances.
- You have a proven track record of working in coalition with diverse groups, such as: community-based organizations, funders, legal advocates, labor, government agencies, and worker centers.
- You understand or are curious about how policy and legal strategies can be tools to support organizing and worker power building.
- You have strong racial equity competencies and center your role in an analysis and understanding of how race and power shape systems in our society and culture and are continuously learning, reflecting, and growing.
- You care about the big picture and are adept at managing a multitude of details. You have created systems and leveraged tools for managing deliverables, milestones and deadlines. You are a problem-solver with strong organizational skills.
- You are self-aware, curious, and respectful with strong interpersonal skills fostering a sense of purpose and community and have high standards for holding yourself and others accountable.
- You operate with a commitment to excellence, integrity, diplomacy, and camaraderie.
Start Date, Location, Compensation and Benefits: This position will be based out of our Berkeley, California office. Staff may be located a commutable distance from the office. NELP has a hybrid model that requires staff to work in-person at least six days per month. This hybrid model seeks to leverage both the benefits of working with colleagues in-person and the benefits of flexible remote arrangements. This position will require some travel, including for NELP internal meetings or conferences, as well as for CSEP meetings. The start date will be as soon as possible.
This position is in NELP’s bargaining unit, represented by National Organization of Legal Service Workers, UAW Local 2320. Classification and compensation for NELP bargaining unit positions are commensurate with relevant experience and education and based on NELP’s collectively bargained scales. Based on our union scale, the Program Manager’s annual salary would be between $77,807-$93,265. The Senior Program Manager’s annual salary would be between $96,185-$122,645. Here are some examples of salaries:

- with a JD and 5 years’ post-degree relevant experience, the salary for a Senior Program Manager will be $96,185; and at 9 years the salary will be $107,735.

The role is designed to provide additional support while multiple staff members are on leave.
ABOUT OPENHOUSE: Openhouse was founded in 1998 to enable lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) seniors to overcome the unique challenges they face as they age by providing LGBTQ-welcoming housing, resources, high-impact direct services, and innovative community programs.
