Very few communications roles sit at the intersection of justice, leadership, and learning. This is one of them.
The Federal Defender Leadership Center was established in 2023 with a clear and urgent charge: every client deserves the very best representation the federal defender community has to offer. Meeting that standard requires leaders who are as committed, skilled, and mission-driven in their leadership as they are in their defense of human and constitutional rights. That is an extraordinary responsibility — and those who carry it deserve the training, support, and resources to do it well.
We are a small, high-performing team operating in a start-up environment with real purpose at its core. We move fast, think creatively, challenge each other, and care deeply about the work. The people who join us now will not inherit someone else's architecture — they will build it. This role represents a genuine opportunity to lead where the field needs more, and to do work whose impact on the federal defender community will be traceable, lasting, and real.
Right now, we are looking for a Head of Digital Communications & Learning who can help us build the digital learning infrastructure and media ecosystem that will define how the federal defender community develops its leaders.
