Program Director
Capitol Impact is recruiting for the position of Program Director
We are seeking a Program Director to lead the California Legislative Staff Education Institute (CLSEI), our flagship professional development program serving staff from both houses of the California Legislature, across political parties, as well as the Legislative Analyst’s Office. For more than 20 years, CLSEI has been a trusted, nonpartisan resource, providing educational briefings, site visits, and other learning opportunities that deepen policy knowledge, strengthen professional skills, and build relationships across the Legislature.
We’re looking for a leader who combines strong program management and analytical skills with political acumen, sound judgment, and an understanding of the Capitol’s culture and dynamics. Prior experience working in the California State Legislature is strongly preferred, as this role requires the ability to navigate complex relationships, anticipate sensitivities, and maintain CLSEI’s credibility as a trusted, nonpartisan resource.
