Who We Are
Lambda Legal is a national advocacy organization committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights for the LGBTQ+ community and everyone living with HIV through impact litigation, education, and public policy work. Since 1973, Lambda Legal has used impact litigation and other advocacy tools to decriminalize same-sex relationships; challenge discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV in the workplace, in the home, in schools, in health care, and in the military; and protect LGBTQ+ families, including by winning and defending marriage equality. Our clients are not charged for legal representation or advocacy, and Lambda Legal receives no government funding. Headquartered in New York City, Lambda Legal also has regional offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, and Washington, DC.
We believe that serving the full breadth of the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities requires cultural competency and enthusiasm for diversity of all kinds. To be successful, we must approach our work with an understanding that discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status is not the only obstacle to achieving full formal and lived equality for LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV; rather, we recognize the intersectional nature of discrimination, specifically including biases based on race, religion, national origin, gender, disability, education, and class. Considering this reality, we prioritize a proactive commitment to counteracting these biases and their compounding effects in the work we do, but also in how we work together as an organization.
Deputy Legal Director for Policy
The Deputy Legal Director for Policy (DLDP) leads Lambda Legal's national policy strategy, shaping and advancing a long‑term vision for how policy advocacy drives durable gains for LGBTQ+ and HIV civil rights. This role is responsible for articulating a forward‑looking policy framework that identifies priority issue areas, strategic geographies, and the appropriate mix of proactive and defensive advocacy across federal, state, and local levels.
Working in close partnership with litigation, public education, and organizational leadership, the DLDP ensures that policy initiatives are strategic, integrated, and focused on areas where Lambda Legal's legal expertise, partnerships, and positioning can achieve meaningful impact. The DLDP translates this strategy into action by guiding a policy team engaged in legislative and regulatory advocacy, policy analysis, coalition building, and cross‑departmental collaboration, while remaining responsive to urgent threats affecting our communities.
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in LGBTQ+ and HIV civil rights, a sophisticated understanding of and significant experience with federal and state policymaking and regulatory processes, and strong people and strategic leadership skills. This role requires the ability to exercise influence through partnership, set clear priorities in complex environments, and strengthen Lambda Legal's strategic policy impact nationwide.

About Us
The vision of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing is to make mental wellbeing, including recovery from substance use challenges, a reality for everyone. Despite overwhelming need, nearly 30 million people across the U.S. do not have access to comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment.
Founded in 1969, the National Council is a 501(c)(3) membership organization that drives policy and social change on behalf of more than 3,200 mental health and substance use treatment organizations and the more than 15 million children, adults and families they serve. We advocate for policies to ensure equitable access to high-quality services. We build the capacity of mental health and substance use treatment organizations. And we promote greater understanding of mental wellbeing as a core component of comprehensive health and health care. Through our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program, we have trained more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges.
The National Council is growing to meet this moment. We've more than doubled our dedicated team to 240+ employees since 2020. Although we have office space in Washington, D.C., we operate as a remote-first organization, with employees working from their various locations across the United States.
The National Council is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. We embrace individuals from all backgrounds and perspectives, welcoming people of all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and ages, as well as veterans, people with disabilities, and those with lived experiences in mental health and substance use challenges to apply. We are committed to fostering a welcoming environment and recruitment process for everyone.
