About the Role

The Company is in search of an Executive Director to lead the Coalition for the Life Sciences (CLS) in advancing its mission through strategic programs and advocacy activities. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the CLS is a recognized and trusted resource in the life sciences research policy arena, particularly with regard to federal agencies. This role involves identifying and responding to policy developments, as well as developing clear advocacy priorities and messaging that align with the CLS mission and member interests. The Executive Director will also be tasked with maintaining strong relationships with member organizations, government agencies, and the life sciences community to support the CLS's visibility and influence. Candidates for the Executive Director position should have a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, with a Master’s or higher being a plus, and at least 8 years of experience in the federal science policy landscape. A proven track record of working on Capitol Hill and a strong network of contacts is essential. The role requires strong program development, management, and fundraising expertise, as well as the ability to manage the CLS's financial resources effectively. The ideal candidate will have outstanding interpersonal, communication, and political skills, and be well-versed in policy issues related to life science and science funding. The position is primarily remote, with a requirement for a physical presence at the ASCB Headquarters office in Rockville, MD, at least once every two weeks, and may involve up to 10% travel.
