Full Job Description

About the team:

Reducing extreme sentences is essential to a more just legal system, and the perspectives of crime survivors and system-impacted people should be central to that work. Over the past two years, the Sentencing Reform Initiative has built coalitions and advanced campaigns across multiple states to increase incarcerated people's ability to earn time off of their sentences through rehabilitative behavior, allow judicial review of long sentences, end mandatory minimums, and create mechanisms for courts to consider survivors' experiences of abuse as a mitigating factor at sentencing. The project is now working to deepen legislative strategy and expand sentencing reform nationally.

As part of the Sentencing Initiative team, the Program Associate will help drive research, coalition building, and legislative support in select states.

About the role:

1. Project Support and Coordination

Support the Program Manager and Director in developing strategy, tactics, and implementation across sites.
Monitor targeted sentencing reform legislation across states.
Coordinate logistics, scheduling, and follow-up for advocacy meetings, coalition calls, and legislative sessions.
Plan and help staff convenings, briefings, roundtables, and trainings for coalition partners and stakeholders
Collaborate with Vera's Advocacy and Partnerships, Communications, and Research teams to help move project strategy forward.
Track progress against project targets and milestones, flagging issues to the Program Manager as they arise.

2. Advocacy, Materials Development, and Research Support

Conduct research and draft background materials, talking points, one-pagers, and presentations on specific bills.
Help plan and facilitate coalition meetings, advocacy days and workgroup discussions.
Build and maintain relationships with partners in government, non-profit, policy, and advocacy spaces.

3. Leadership, Funder, and Partner Materials

Draft materials, briefings, proposal sections, and reports for Vera leadership, funders, and prospective partners and sites.
Compile information and materials for meetings with funders, leadership, and prospective partners or sites.

4. Team Support and Internal Collaboration

Create agendas, update internal documentation, and support facilitation of team meetings.
Mentor program assistants, analysts, and/or interns on tasks as needed.
Monitor relevant news coverage to stay informed about trends in the field.
Support logistical and event planning processes, as needed.
Take on additional responsibilities outside the core role, as needed, to keep project work moving as part of a small team.
