Building on more than thirty years of policy wins for the Pacific Rim's peoples, ecosystems, and climate, Pacific Environment has been campaigning to end fossil fuel use, including to get ships off fossil fuels. Our federal strategies include securing strong regulatory frameworks and legislation to achieve zero-emission shipping on a timeline commensurate with the climate emergency; mobilizing congressional and public pressure on federal agencies and policymakers to adopt binding emissions standards and public investments; and engaging industry and maritime workers as partners in the transition to zero-emission shipping — working with bodies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, MARAD, and the Federal Maritime Commission to align national maritime policy with a zero-emission shipping future. Position Pacific Environment seeks an experienced Federal Policy Director to lead the organization's federal government affairs strategy on maritime shipping issues. This role is the organization's principal advocate before Congress and federal agencies — including the U.S. Coast Guard, Maritime Administration (MARAD), Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), EPA, and Department of Transportation — on policy priorities such as vessel emissions and fuel standards, port and vessel infrastructure investment, supply chain resilience, and maritime workforce and safety standards. The Federal Policy Director will build and maintain relationships with congressional offices and committee staff, track and analyze relevant legislation and rulemakings, represent the organization in coalitions and public forums, and translate technical maritime policy into actionable advocacy strategy. This is a senior externally facing role requiring deep familiarity with the federal legislative and regulatory process and credibility with maritime policy stakeholders.
