About the role

Democracy Forward Foundation seeks a Senior Director of Compliance to lead the organization’s compliance function, reporting to the General Counsel. The role involves strategic vision and hands‑on execution in a context that includes 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) governance, employment law, ethics, and grant management. The position is full‑time with a hybrid work model; in‑office presence is expected regularly in Washington, DC, with remote eligibility for U.S. candidates and occasional travel to DC.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
