Pacific Legal Foundation is only as good as the talent we employ. Knowing this, our hiring philosophy is simple: we seek to hire the best talent available. We’re constantly and aggressively on the lookout for employees who embody our core values.
If you’re passionate about one or more of our job opportunities, and you’re enthusiastic about working alongside colleagues who share these values, then we encourage you to apply to be a part of the PLF team.
Liberty is our obsession—we live and breathe it. When it’s threatened, we act decisively to protect it.
Our pioneering spirit spurs us to take big, bold swings. We never rest on past success. Our eyes are aimed squarely on the future.
We trust and invest in our clients, allies, and each other. We believe that—together—we can change the world.
We know liberty will win.
You: An aspiring marketer passionate about technology, software, and marketing communications. You are determined to master these tools to promote freedom and dismantle policies that trample individual liberty. You will be a crucial component of the execution of PLF’s communications strategy, learning from and supporting managers and directors across the organization.
Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other’s backs, and are confident in, and passionate for, the cause—the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF.
Us: We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation is the nation’s first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty. PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 14 victories out of 16 cases litigated at the Court. We also have more than a hundred active cases across the nation.
We are a next-generation public interest law firm. What does “next-generation” mean for a legal nonprofit? It means we aren’t interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. We aspire to be the best player in a constantly changing game.
Here’s what you get to do in this role:
You will work with every part of the communications team to make marketing communications a reality. You will have the opportunity to become an expert in all critical aspects of digital marketing: lead generation, search engine optimization (SEO), marketing automation, digital advertising, and the infrastructure and measurement to make it all happen.
Getting down to brass tacks, your specific job duties likely will include:
This is an entry-level role with significant growth potential.
Experience in relevant systems like social media, CMS, CRMs, Adobe Creative Suite, and Google Analytics is a plus—but we intend to teach you.
It is absolutely essential that you are fascinated by technology, enthusiastic to master the intricacies of various software platforms, and capable of working with/interpreting data. An attention to detail is critical.
Finally, you must understand and support the organization’s mission and vision for individual liberty.
GENERAL INFORMATION

You: A scholar who has studied administrative law and seeks to end the unconstitutional aspects of the administrative state. You’re fluent in the language of administrative law, from Chenery II to Chevron Step Zero, and look for creative and novel solutions to restore the Constitution’s greatest protection for our individual liberties—the separation of powers. You’re relentless, determined, and thrive in a team setting. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was the administrative state. You know unwinding the administrative state will take many hands and many years to accomplish, and you want to be in the center of the action that gets the job done.
