Policy Counsel-State Policy

State-level financial regulation is where much of the fight for consumer protection plays out right now and every shift in a state legislature or regulatory agency creates real consequences for the families CRL fights for. We're looking for a Policy Counsel who wants to be in the room where that fight happens: tracking legislation and rulemakings across the states as they move, building the legal case for CRL's positions, and turning that analysis into comment letters, testimony, and amicus briefs that hold up under scrutiny.

Reporting to the Director of State Policy, you'll take ownership of priority issues, monitor developments, spot opportunities and threats early, and recommend the strategy to meet them. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with CRL's research, communications, and federal policy teams, and you'll be a visible presence with allies, coalition partners, state regulators, and legislative staff across the states. This role also puts you at the center of CRL's litigation strategy by helping build amicus briefs, coordinating with outside counsel, and fielding legal questions from ally organizations.

If you want a job where your legal training directly protects people from predatory financial products, and where good writing and sharp analysis are rewarded with real influence, this is it.
