About the role

California Trout (Cal Trout) seeks a thoughtful, motivated California Policy Associate to support state policy and advocacy work in Sacramento and across California. Working under the Director of Policy, you will advance efforts to protect rivers, fish, and watersheds, while developing professional relationships with policymakers and partners. The ideal candidate is a proactive communicator, strong writer, and eager to learn about California policymaking.

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.
