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.

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 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.

When needed, the AMIG assists with prospect research of Circles members, helps the WNO Development team prepare donor profiles or presentations for major gifts solicitations, or provides collegial support to colleagues during deadlines. In addition to the AMIG’s primary focus on the Circles program, the position participates in WNO Major Gifts meetings and Kennedy Center-wide Development meetings, contributing to the broad strategic thinking of contributed income projections for the Opera and supporting WNO and Kennedy Center colleagues as needed to achieve shared goals. As part of the WNO Development team, the AMIG participates in the planning of WNO’s annual gala and is assigned duties prior to and during the event. These duties may include assisting with the development of lists, invitations, drafting guest profiles, and other duties as needed.
