Job Description

Missouri Family Health Council champions the freedom to access sexual and reproductive healthcare—no matter who you are or where you live. Through programs like Title X, Free EC, and The Right Time, we partner with providers, support communities, and advocate for policies that protect care and expand rights. We ensure that everyone can get the care they need, without shame, judgment, or obstacles. Simply put, we do hard work and we do it well.

As a member of the Programs team, the Government Affairs Manager is responsible for ensuring a functional connection between MFHC’s policy priorities and relevant local, state, and, occasionally, national policy and regulatory work, legislative advocacy, and lobbying, serving as a trustworthy resource to elected officials and their staff on issues related to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. They work in close collaboration with other members of the MFHC team and other health- and equity-focused coalition members and community partners in order to defend against legislative attacks to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice, and pave the way toward implementation of proactive policies that move us closer to the vision that everyone has access to healthcare without shame, judgement, or obstacles.

The core of this role is developing and implementing legislative strategies to achieve MFHC’s policy priorities on the local, state, and federal levels. If you’re a resilient and tenacious individual that excels at relationship building and navigating complex legislative dynamics with demonstrated success in leveraging advocacy opportunities to advance policy priorities on a local, state, or national level, we want to hear from you.

  • Describe your vision for creating a world where everyone has the freedom to access sexual and reproductive healthcare, no matter who they are or where they live. Include at least one tangible strategy you would use to make that a reality.
  • Tell us about legislative strategies you have used to advance or defeat legislation.
MFHC offers a competitive and generous benefits package. All resumes will be treated as confidential. No phone calls please.
