Public Justice offers a mission-focused work environment, a teamwork and community-oriented work culture, and a competitive compensation package. We recognize and support healthy work-life balance policies, including operating on a four-day work week year-round. We also offer a generous benefits package, including flexible time off, two weeks of sick leave, all federal and some local holidays, end of the year office closure, employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance premiums for employees and eligible dependents, and a 401(k) plan.

Public Justice operates as a remote organization, embracing flexibility and inclusivity that remote work offers. However, recognizing the value of in-person collaboration and the need for physical office space, Public Justice has an office in Washington, DC. In addition, because

Public Justice handles litigation, education, and advocacy nationally, the position may entail some travel.

Salary will be in the range of $67,000 – $72,000, depending on experience. We are open to feedback from the market and would welcome the ability to connect with potential candidates who may be outside of the compensation band as part of our commitment to equity in pay practices.
