The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today’s most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and invigorate civic life.
We are an independent nonprofit organization – the sole beneficiary of seven individual trusts established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew.
Our work lays the foundation for effective policy solutions by informing and engaging citizens, linking diverse interests to pursue common cause and insisting on tangible results. Our projects encourage efficient, responsive governments – at the local, state, national and international levels – serving the public interests.
With offices in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Australia, Brussels and London, and with additional staff in other regions of the United States and around the globe, Pew provides an exciting learning environment and the opportunity to work with highly talented individuals. We are a dynamic, rapidly evolving organization that values creativity and innovative thinking and fosters strong teamwork with mutual respect.
The Philadelphia Program
Through the Philadelphia Program, Pew seeks to enhance civic life in its hometown. We partner with many local institutions in encouraging a thriving arts and cultural community, supporting the health and welfare of the region’s most vulnerable residents, informing policy discussions on important issues facing the city, and, more broadly, strengthening Philadelphia’s appeal to visitors and residents alike.
Position Overview
The officer will support Pew’s efforts to help decision makers and influential stakeholders in the Philadelphia region address key policy challenges by providing them with relevant data and research, and bringing to bear national expertise and examples of policy reforms that have been successful in other cities. The project will concentrate its efforts on areas (1) where Pew has built expertise in our local, state, and national projects; (2) that are recognized by influential constituencies in Philadelphia as important and timely; and (3) where research has shown there are effective policies or practices in other states and localities that could inform Philadelphia’s decisions.
This initiative will draw on the research and expertise of Pew’s Philadelphia research initiative, which was established to provide data and impartial analysis on issues critical to the city’s future, and the robust national networks of experts that exist within Pew’s D.C.-based state and local government programs. The core element of the project will be an ongoing series of convenings intended to allow relevant local policymakers and stakeholders to engage in candid dialogue with both subject matter authorities who have conducted extensive study on targeted issues and public officials who have innovated and implemented more effective approaches. Our goal for this project over the next two years is for policymakers to draw on the research and expertise provided by Pew to enact policies, adopt agency practices or make resource allocations in at least two issue areas that will be examined by the project.
The ideal candidate will have a strong policy background combined with the capacity to coordinate both internal and external logistics and be capable of designing, planning, and executing convening sessions. The candidate will be knowledgeable about the local policy and political landscape, and have the proven ability to facilitate policy conversations and discussions of research with key decision makers. In addition, the successful candidate will have the ability to communicate and work effectively with diverse individuals and organizations in the nonprofit, public and private sectors. Finally, the candidate will be able to work with research and policy teams at Pew to synthesize data and existing research and participate in conceiving and drafting original materials for both internal and external consumption.
The officer will report to the project director, Philadelphia Policy. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

Project Description:
The civil justice innovation project launches in 2018 as an initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts. The project works to make the nation’s civil legal system more accessible and affordable to the public by implementing the most promising technologies and tools to assist self-represented litigants and improve state court efficiency. The project provides technical assistance to courts to encourage the broad-scale adoption of these technologies and conducts evaluations to determine best practices.
Specifically the project will:
- Promote the adoption of online dispute resolution as an official judicial procedure in five states, through deployment statewide or in a major municipal subdivision of the state court system.
- Support the successful implementation of statewide legal-assistance portals in two states that provide access via the internet to diagnostics of civil legal problems and referral to a variety of information and services to assist self-represented litigants.
- Identify the next set of states to target for the adoption of statewide legal-assistance portals.
- Produce evaluations of four online dispute-resolution systems and two legal-assistance portals that estimate the expected return on investment for and examine changes in affordability, access, and time to case resolution for these technologies compared to traditional processing.
- Convene a prominent civil justice working group to produce recommendations regarding additional technologies and reforms that would improve access to justice.
Position Overview:
The project director position, based in Pew’s Washington, DC, office, will report to a director or senior director level position. The project director will have primary responsibility over all facets of the project, developing opportunities, delivering technical assistance and conducting evaluations to achieve the goals of the project. This person will manage the initiative, supervise project staff and collaborate closely with other Pew colleagues, including communications, government relations, philanthropic partnerships and operations.

The Environmental Portfolio at the Pew Charitable Trusts
For the past twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with close to 250 professionals working full-time at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for sound solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
Project Overview:
Pew’s global tuna conservation campaign works to ensure a future for the world’s largest tuna species and the largest tuna fishery. Industrial fishing vessels place more nets and hooks in the water in their search for tunas than in any other fishery in the world. These vessels are also responsible for the incidental catch of massive numbers of sharks, billfish, turtles, seabirds and other marine species caught as collateral damage by these fisheries. Unfortunately, as valuable migratory species that cross national and international boundaries, developing the tools to effectively and sustainably manage tuna fisheries has proven challenging. Pew works to ended or prevented the overfishing of the five major commercially fished tuna species in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, by ensuring precautionary, science-based management of select tuna stocks in the Pacific and Atlantic and working for much-needed reforms for the two major gears used to catch tuna: purse seines with fish aggregating devices and surface longlines.
The global tuna conservation campaign is one of eight projects that fit within Pew’s international ocean conservation program.
Position Overview:
The project director, global tuna conservation is responsible for delivering campaign outcomes across the full campaign portfolio through leadership in the development and implementation of strategies and activities to achieve the agreed project deliverables. The position reports to the director, international fisheries.
The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

Ending Overfishing in Northwestern Europe
At the start of 2014, a new era began for fisheries management in the European Union. A new Common Fisheries Policy, aiming to restore EU fish stocks, entered into force. For the previous five years, Pew and 192 other organizations worked through the OCEAN2012 coalition to support an ambitious reform. Though that process proved successful, overfishing is far from over. The legislation must be implemented well on the water if the new policy is to achieve its aims. To make this happen, Pew launched a campaign in 2014 that focuses on ending overfishing in northwestern European waters.
Position Overview
This London-based position will be responsible for driving and supporting the objectives of Pew’s Ending Overfishing in NW Europe project for the UK.

Project Description:
Public pension sustainability is one of the most significant fiscal challenges facing states and municipalities today. In fact, our research shows that as of 2016, state governments had pension debts totaling more than $1.7 trillion. Although some plans are well-funded, in other places, if changes are not made, retirees, workers, and taxpayers will be left with rising costs and unpaid promises for years to come.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Every state and municipality has a unique set of policy preferences and budgetary challenges. Given the high stakes for governments’ budgets and workers, policy makers need trusted information and guidance to help them consider possible options, understand what is known about each, then make decisions based on the best available information. This project will work with states and cities to examine their challenges and help policy makers consider data-driven policies that result in sustainable retirement systems while maintaining jurisdictions’ ability to recruit and retain skilled workers.
Specifically, the project will:
• Provide highly credible, independent, and nonpartisan research, including 50-state reports, to help answer critical questions about which policy actions are most effective at controlling costs, meeting governments’ policy goals, and providing workers with retirement security;
• Provide selected states with customized technical assistance informed by tailored research; and
• Engage influential stakeholders to build the support necessary to enact reform.
Position Overview:
Pew seeks to hire a senior manager, state policy, to work in selected states where Pew is providing customized technical assistance and the support needed to enact reform. The senior manager will be expected to contribute at multiple levels, taking lead responsibility for designing and implementing state technical assistance strategies, managing staff, and supporting the entire spectrum of activity under the project, including research, communications, and national initiatives. This position, based in Pew’s Washington, DC, office, will report to the project’s director and has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support. The ideal candidate will have an educational and employment background in public policy or a related field, knowledge of public sector retirement and benefit systems, and work experience undertaking projects involving many partners, complex issues and extensive writing and presentation skills.

Protecting Antarctica’s Southern Ocean
The Protecting Antarctica’s Southern Ocean (Southern Ocean) project is working to establish a network of marine reserves in the Southern Ocean through the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), an organization made up of 25 members, including the United States and the European Union. The campaign goal is to establish four protected areas in CCAMLR managed waters by the end of 2020.
Antarctic marine reserves serve many important ecosystem functions, one of which is to protect foraging areas for penguins, seals, whales and other predators by restricting industrial fishing. In 2016, the campaign succeeded in establishing the world’s largest marine protected area (MPA) in Antarctica’s Ross Sea, an area home to large populations of penguins, seals, whales and Antarctic toothfish, also known as Chilean seabass. CCAMLR is currently considering three other MPA proposals in the East Antarctic, the Weddell Sea, and the Antarctic Peninsula region. To build on the momentum of the Ross Sea, the Southern Ocean team will continue to work with CCAMLR governments to secure more large-scale marine reserves, and work towards the vision of a network of protected areas surrounding the Antarctic continent to safeguard its unique wildlife from the pressures of human activities.
Position Overview
The officer will be based in Brussels and will report to the director, Protecting Antarctica’s Southern Ocean (SO) in Washington, DC. Responsibilities will include working closely with the staff of the SO project to develop, implement and advocate for the project’s goals. This position will also work closely with the senior director of government relations based in Brussels to focus on policy outreach with the EU Commission and EU member states, in particular France and Germany, to secure large-scale marine reserves in the Southern Ocean. This position requires a strong capacity to think strategically, to understand the implications of broader geopolitics in international decision making, and to work as part of a global team of campaigners to achieve consensus-based decisions at the international level. The officer will collaborate with Pew staff across multiple campaigns, industry representatives, as well as global coalition partners, to develop and/or implement a campaign strategy that achieves large-scale marine protections and ecosystem-based management measures for the Antarctic krill fishery.
The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

The Environmental Portfolio at the Pew Charitable Trusts
For the past twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with close to 250 professionals working full-time at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for sound solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
