Company Description The U.S. Global Advocacy & Development Foundation (USGADF) is a digital-first civil society organization focused on Civil Diplomacy, System Navigation, and Public Education.
USGADF works to empower people with the knowledge needed to understand and navigate institutions and administrative systems. Through research, public education, community resources, and institutional engagement, we identify issues, examine how systems operate, and make useful information more accessible to the public.
Role Description The Policy & Systems Navigation Director is a remote, non-compensated foundational leadership role supporting USGADF's work in policy research, systems navigation, and public education.
The Director helps identify and research policies, regulations, institutional developments, and other issues that may be important for the public to understand. The role involves examining relevant information, identifying significant findings, and bringing those findings to USGADF for consideration.
When an issue warrants public education, the Director helps develop clear and useful materials such as explainers, community resource guides, toolkits, and other educational resources. Where appropriate, the Director may also support USGADF in researching and preparing institutional inquiries and tracking responses or developments.
This is a lean, digital-first role designed around meaningful contributions rather than a full-time schedule. The anticipated commitment is approximately 3–5 hours per week, depending on active issues and Foundation priorities.
Qualifications
• Strong research and analytical abilities.
• Ability to understand and organize complex policies, regulations, and institutional information.

• Ability to translate complex information into clear, accessible explanations.
• Organized and able to work independently.
• Curious about how institutions and administrative systems operate.
• Good judgment in identifying information that may warrant further attention or public education.
• Comfortable working remotely and communicating digitally.
• Relevant experience in research, policy, administration, government, education, law, or a related area is helpful, but demonstrated ability is more important than a specific credential.
Engagement
This is a non-compensated, foundational leadership opportunity with USGADF. The position is remote and open to qualified applicants.
