Careers

CAREERS AT CALBIKE

Job Opportunities

Temporary Policy Associate

The California Bicycle Coalition is seeking a part-time temporary Policy Associate to support the Executive Director and Senior Policy Advocate in their advocacy campaigns. 

CalBike works at the intersection of social justice and bicycling advocacy to help California’s communities become more equitable, safer, and more sustainable, and to help more Californians take advantage of bicycling for health, prosperity, and joy. 

About the Position 

Our Policy Associate will mostly assist our campaign to win a grant program to subsidize e-bikes. E-bike trips will replace many car trips, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Californians who can use their bikes for their long and hilly trips, for their delivery jobs, to take children to school, and countless other purposes. 

Day-to-day tasks will include the following:

  • Communicating with allied organizations to understand their perspective and earn their practical support. 
  • Responding to questions from members and others about the campaign, helping them engage as necessary.
  • Coordinating volunteers in the creation of policy briefs and other communications. 
  • Coordinating online events and presentations.
  • Setting up meetings between legislators and community leaders. 

Additional tasks, depending upon skills, may also include:

  • Testifying at a meeting in Sacramento, probably online but possibly in person, depending on COVID protocol 
  • Newsletter and Action Alert writing
  • Fundraising

Necessary Qualifications

  • Experience with policy advocacy or political campaigning
  • Good speaking skills, able to communicate sometimes complicated policy objectives clearly and concisely 
  • A good listener, able to understand another’s perspective and restate it clearly and empathetically

Desirable Qualifications

  • Experience at the state level, with legislative or organizational leaders
  • Spanish language proficiency
  • Great writing skills
  • Knowledge of and familiarity with online organizing tools 

Compensation

Compensation is for 20 hours per week, at $40-$50/hour, depending on qualifications. This is a temporary position for approximately six months, starting as soon as possible. No fringe benefits, except those required by law, are provided. We reimburse for the cost of your phone and computer for the duration of your employment. 

Apply by February 28

BLACK LIVES MATTER

California will never have the equitable, prosperous and inclusive communities that CalBike advocates for until we address and redress anti-Black violence. We want to actively contribute to ending systemic racism, especially in transportation policy, and most especially in bicycling advocacy. We promise to listen and learn how we can best do this work. To our community members who experience the violence of racism on a daily basis: we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.
