Summary

Join Our Team as the Legislative Policy Analyst (Government Relations Administrator)

Department of Local Services (DLS) – King County

The Legislative Policy Analyst (Government Relations Administrator) is the key resource within the department to coordinate the review, development, and drafting of reports and legislation amending King County land use policy and building codes. The position requires regular coordination with staff and leadership within the department, and across partner departments, to facilitate code reviews and analysis, develop legislative documents, and plan for and monitor legislative actions.

This may involve prioritizing and coordinating opportunities to comment, testify or otherwise communicate about new and emerging issues and ongoing policy debates with direct impact and relevance to the mission of the Department. In addition to working on local and State legislation, the position will be assigned ongoing projects that support the department or interdepartmental efforts on a variety of policy issues. The incumbent must work constructively with other departments, the King County Council, and the Office of the King County Executive. This position reports to DLS’s Director of Policy and Government Relations. This position operates in a fast-paced, dynamic environment that requires the ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities, respond to emerging legislative and policy issues, and adapt quickly to changing timelines and stakeholder needs.

About the Department of Local Services:
King County is the local service provider for the roughly one quarter-million people who live in the unincorporated areas of the county; collectively, these communities would be the second largest city in the state. The Department of Local Services includes a Director's Office, Road Services, and Permitting divisions, as well as long-range planning, code writing, subarea planning, and comprehensive planning teams. Together, this department provides a single executive point of accountability for delivering local services to all unincorporated areas.

Our Commitment to Equity, Racial and Social Justice

The Department of Local Services is deeply dedicated to fostering Equity and Racial and Social Justice in every aspect of our work. Our pledge is to cultivate, embrace, and celebrate the distinct experiences, viewpoints, and perspectives of our people, partners, and the communities we serve. Through this work, we dismantle systemic barriers, address inequities, and actively confront prejudices and biases. We acknowledge this journey is ongoing, and we remain steadfast in our efforts to create a positive impact for our employees and communities alike.

Job Duties

Applying equity and racial and social justice is a daily responsibility and a foundational expectation for all King County employees. In this role, you will apply equity and social justice principles that exemplify shared values, behaviors, and practices to all aspects of the work.

In this role, you will:

Work with staff within the department, and across other departments, to review and draft proposed legislation (i.e., ordinances and motions) impacting King County codes and policies.

Work with issue experts within the department to conduct research and analysis to inform the development of proposals.
Lead or work with communications staff to prepare policy fact sheets, update web sites, and develop other handouts for use by DLS in educating policymakers and community partners.
Work with counterparts in other departments and external partners to move forward large, complex policy efforts.
Assist the Policy and Government Relations Director and the Long-Range Planning Manager with planning the department’s annual legislative calendar, monitor the status of active legislation, and coordinate with the Executive’s Office on State and federal legislative matters that concern the department.
As assigned, provide staff support to or lead interdepartmental, interbranch, or interjurisdictional teams; provide staff support to community engagement efforts.

As assigned, support or take lead responsibility for ad hoc or on-going projects that relate to the work of the department.

Monitor Council meeting agendas for items relevant to DLS and coordinate staff participation in King County Council meetings.
