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.
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.

This is an entry-level role with significant growth potential.
Experience in relevant systems like social media, CMS, CRMs, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, 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.
