Through hands-on partnerships with government agencies, CPL performs rigorous research across issue silos and builds the data infrastructure necessary to improve programs and policies that millions of Californians rely on every day. We focus our work in six policy areas: education, criminal justice reform, poverty and the social safety net, labor and employment, health, and homelessness and high needs populations. We work in close partnership with state and local public agencies, co-developing and carrying out joint research agendas. Our staff are mostly based at UC Berkeley and UCLA and we work with faculty and students at all ten UC campuses. In 2025, we are opening a new Sacramento office, housed at the University of California Student and Policy Center, across the street from the Capitol.
CPL recognizes the value of having a diverse staff at all levels of the organization. We are looking for equity-minded applicants who represent and understand the diverse racial and ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, educational, socioeconomic, cultural, and disability backgrounds present in California.

Position Summary
The Policy Director will lead CPL's Sacramento office, with a primary goal of amplifying CPL's impact through engagement with the legislature, the Governor's Office, and other Sacramento-based stakeholders on matters of research and data.

The Policy Director will advance CPL's mission by identifying opportunities to inform state legislation with data and research, translating CPL research into actionable recommendations, and building and maintaining research relationships with Sacramento-based stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading policy-focused research institute and to help craft and strengthen how we engage with policymakers across the state.

We actively support this by providing all of our full-time staff employees with at least 80 hours (10 days) of paid time per year to engage in professional development activities. Find out more about how you can http://grow.berkeley.edu/ at UC Berkeley.
Departmental Overview
The California Policy Lab (CPL) generates research insights for government impact. Through hands-on partnerships with government agencies, CPL performs rigorous research across issue silos and builds the data infrastructure necessary to improve programs and policies that millions of Californians rely on every day. We focus our work in six policy areas: education, criminal justice reform, poverty and the social safety net, labor and employment, health, and homelessness and high needs populations. We work in close partnership with state and local public agencies, co-developing and carrying out joint research agendas. Our staff are mostly based at UC Berkeley and UCLA and we work with faculty and students at all ten UC campuses. In 2025, we are opening a new Sacramento office, housed at the University of California Student and Policy Center, across the street from the Capitol.
CPL recognizes the value of having a diverse staff at all levels of the organization. We are looking for equity-minded applicants who represent and understand the diverse racial and ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, educational, socioeconomic, cultural, and disability backgrounds present in California. When you join our team, you can expect to be part of an inclusive and equity-focused community. The employee will be appointed through CPL's Berkeley site, which resides as a center within the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE).
Position Summary
The Policy Director will lead CPL's Sacramento office, with a primary goal of amplifying CPL's impact through engagement with the legislature, the Governor's Office, and other Sacramento-based stakeholders on matters of research and data. The Policy Director will bring CPL's research and data insights into the policymaking process while also sourcing new project ideas through stakeholder engagement. The position is ideal for a seasoned policy professional with deep experience in California state government and an existing network of trusted relationships with Sacramento-based policymakers and staff. The Policy Director will represent the entire Lab and will report to the Executive Directors at our Berkeley and UCLA sites.
The Policy Director will work in close coordination with the UC Office of the President's External Relations and Communications Division (ERC) and the government relations offices at relevant UC campuses, including following their guidance on how to interact with Sacramento stakeholders and regularly reporting on interactions with key policymakers.
The California Policy Lab is a nonpartisan research lab focused on some of the most pressing issues facing California. CPL is not an advocacy organization, though our research is designed to be actionable and to directly inform policy at the state and local level. The Policy Director will advance CPL's mission by identifying opportunities to inform state legislation with data and research, translating CPL research into actionable recommendations, and building and maintaining research relationships with Sacramento-based stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading policy-focused research institute and to help craft and strengthen how we engage with policymakers across the state.
This role reports to the Executive Directors at UCLA and UC Berkeley and will be part of the Leadership Team at CPL. The formal appointment will be at UC Berkeley.

SANDAG’s Office of the Independent Performance Auditor
On January 1, 2018, a new California Assembly Bill (AB 805) required the creation of the Audit Committee and an Independent Performance Auditor (IPA) position. The IPA leads the Office of the Independent Performance Auditor (OIPA) and has the authority to conduct performance audits of all departments, offices, boards, activities, and programs of the agency. OIPA is currently a 10-person independent, oversight function expected to grow to 12 positions by fiscal year 2027. Performance audits are conducted in compliance with Generally Accepted Government auditing standards (GAGAS). OIPA’s performance audits can include reviewing compliance with the agency’s administrative policies, procedures, and local, state and federal regulations; audits of funding, revenue streams, capital projects, expenditures, enterprise risk management, public procurement practices, various transportation projects and programs, and other regional planning programs and initiatives that impact the region.
OIPA serves as the Board of Directors’ oversight function that objectively evaluates and recommends improvements to SANDAG operations. The IPA presents an annual work plan to the Audit Committee for approval based upon the results of an annual risk assessment. OIPA is also the official body of SANDAG to investigate allegations of potential fraud, waste, abuse, and gross mismanagement identified by SANDAG staff or other stakeholders.
Role
The Manager of Business Administration and Operations is a key leadership role within OIPA, responsible for driving the agency’s core administrative, operational, and communications functions. Reporting directly to the Independent Performance Auditor (IPA), this position ensures the smooth and strategic execution of OIPA’s internal systems and external messaging.

Description
SANDAG’s Office of the Independent Performance Auditor
On January 1, 2018, a new California Assembly Bill (AB 805) required the creation of the Audit Committee and an Independent Performance Auditor (IPA) position. The IPA leads the Office of the Independent Performance Auditor (OIPA) and has the authority to conduct performance audits of all departments, offices, boards, activities, and programs of the agency. OIPA is currently a 10-person independent, oversight function expected to grow to 12 positions by fiscal year 2027. Performance audits are conducted in compliance with Generally Accepted Government auditing standards (GAGAS). OIPA’s performance audits can include reviewing compliance with the agency’s administrative policies, procedures, and local, state and federal regulations; audits of funding, revenue streams, capital projects, expenditures, enterprise risk management, public procurement practices, various transportation projects and programs, and other regional planning programs and initiatives that impact the region.
OIPA serves as the Board of Directors’ oversight function that objectively evaluates and recommends improvements to SANDAG operations. The IPA presents an annual work plan to the Audit Committee for approval based upon the results of an annual risk assessment. OIPA is also the official body of SANDAG to investigate allegations of potential fraud, waste, abuse, and gross mismanagement identified by SANDAG staff or other stakeholders.
