Join us
Do civil rights compliance work that actually protects people, and withstands scrutiny. We’re a small, senior team that takes the standard seriously and the work personally.
What we look for
Experienced practitioners who’ve done this work inside institutions: investigators, coordinators, and trainers who care as much about a defensible record as a fair outcome. We value judgment over credentials, though the credentials help.
How we work
Fractional and project-based, remote-first from our Portland base, with real ownership of the matters you take on. Senior people, small caseloads, high standards, not a volume shop.
Open roles
We don’t always have a posting up, but we’re always glad to hear from practitioners who’d raise our standard. Tell us what you do and how you’d want to work with us.

The role
We are hiring a Business Development Specialist to grow our East Coast institutional client base.

- Two or more years of business development, sales, or partnerships experience, ideally selling professional services
