Policy and Advocacy Manager, Sustainable Business Network

Posted by Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia on August 10, 2015

The Sustainable Business Network is a membership organization for locally-owned businesses committed to using their businesses not just to generate profit, but to make positive impacts on people and the environment. Our mission is to transform the Philadelphia region’s economy into one that is green, thriving, and socially-just, by advancing and supporting a growing base of local businesses, and educating policy-makers and the general public. As it approaches the end of its strategic planning process, and looks excitedly towards its future, SBN seeks team members to lead its efforts to attract and serve members, and to push forward policy changes critical to creating a more local and sustainable economy in the Philadelphia region. Both of these positions are instrumental to SBN’s ability to achieve impact, and require enthusiastic, committed team members with the ability to lead and inspire others.

SBN Policy and Advocacy Manager

SBN’s Policy and Advocacy Manager will build on and grow recent policy gains made by SBN, namely, related to the Good Economy Challenge (GEC), a 5-point policy campaign spearheaded by the organization during Philadelphia’s 2015 primary election.Throughout Philadelphia’s 2015 Democratic primary, SBN communicated with mayoral and council candidates, achieved endorsements from 15 allied organizations, hosted a mayoral forum, and gained early interest in legislation and programming around several areas of the platform. The Policy and Advocacy Manager will continue this momentum while also working to keep SBN responsive to and engaged in other policy discussions pertinent to building a sustainable economy, and will assist SBN’s Executive Director to develop systems and processes consistent with the policy and advocacy goals stated in SBN’s strategic plan.
