EJP’s Policy and Research Director will provide strategic leadership in the development, execution, and evaluation of EJP’s policy work, both analysis and outreach. The position requires working closely with internal and external partners to ensure consistency and integration across EJP’s programs with respect to research efforts and policy campaigns.
