Tier 1 Support Technician
Fully Remote • Work from Anywhere in the U.S.
Description:
While this is a fully remote position, candidates are required to work in the Pacific Time Zone and may need to travel to our Sacramento office occasionally for on-site support as needed.
You: An up-and-coming technology guru with beginner to intermediate-level support experience with a passion for helping your colleagues resolve their technical barriers to become the most effective advocates for PLF’s mission. In addition, you are dedicated to mastering all our technology software to elevate your colleagues’ ability to use them efficiently and effectively. More importantly, you are customer-focused and thrive on getting the best possible outcome for your colleagues, with the added interest in teaching technological concepts to your fellow staff.
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 18 victories out of 20 cases litigated at the Court. We also have nearly 200 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.

To Apply:
Qualified candidates should submit the following application materials:
Your resume.
A cover letter explaining why PLF is the place for you, why you want to fight for liberty, and what distinguishes you from typical applicants (not required, but encouraged).
This is a full-time, permanent position. PLF is committed to recruiting and retaining the highest-quality talent available nationwide, and we offer a total compensation package that includes a competitive salary, medical and dental insurance, and employer-paid retirement savings. We take work-life balance seriously through our generous paid leave and flextime policies. We have a flexible, collaborative, positive, and collegial work environment. We take pride in investing in your future and encourage internal advancement. PLF is the place for someone principled, tenacious, and determined to succeed in positively shaping the future of our country and restoring real limits on government power.

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 and protecting the fundamental right to property as the “guardian of every other right.” PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 18 victories litigated at the Court. We also are actively litigating nearly two hundred cases in trial and appellate courtrooms 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.
About our practice groups:
Property Rights are the foundation of liberty. The right to own, enjoy, and put property to productive use is a source of personal security, dignity, and prosperity, protecting the freedom of individuals to shape their destiny. We aim to achieve the same level of constitutional protection for individual rights in property as the courts accord other celebrated personal liberties.
Equality and Opportunity are the cornerstones of our civil rights. But government stands in the way of many people’s opportunities today. It has displaced the Constitution’s guarantee of liberty with policies that assail, for instance, opportunities to earn a living or pursue a quality education. And government officials disregard the Constitution’s call for equality before the law by allocating burdens or benefits to some at the expense of others, increasingly discriminating based on race, sex, or group entitlement. PLF’s equality and opportunity cases aim to secure equal freedom for all. We work to dismantle unconstitutional barriers to opportunity, freeing individuals to rise based on their choices, character, and ability.
Separation of Powers between the branches is crucial: Allowing powers to accumulate in any government body is, as James Madison said, “the very definition of tyranny.” Our Constitution established three separate branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. And yet, the American administrative state has grown into a Leviathan. Today, a sea of regulatory agencies has seized more power—becoming lawmaker, executive, and judge—to exert greater control over our lives. PLF fights to rein in this unconstitutional “fourth branch” and to restore the proper structure of our government.
What PLF Attorneys get to do:
Litigate for Liberty: Be on the front lines of the fight for individual freedom by litigating strategic lawsuits against government abuse. Lead cases that challenge unconstitutional laws, regulations, and policies that threaten equality and opportunity, property rights, and the separation of powers.
Generate High-Impact Cases: Develop new cases and run with them consistent with your experience level. We have needs for junior attorneys and seasoned veterans who can run a case from an initial complaint through the Supreme Court. We want confident self-starters who think big and aim high.
Advocate for Shared Moral and Constitutional Principles: We win in the courts of law and in the court of public opinion. You will speak with journalists, the public, allied organizations, trade groups, and academics to advance our litigation objectives and mission.

Here’s what you get to do in this role:
You will generate and lead high-profile cases in PLF’s Equality and Opportunity Program.

We defeated race-based federal farm-loan forgiveness and are litigating against California to end its sex-based quota for Board members of publicly-traded companies. We have overturned certificate of need laws in half a dozen states and challenged other legislation that protects the profits of some by stifling the economic opportunity of others. You will build on our success by working on landmark cases that affirm equality of freedom for all persons. You will find and win the next important Supreme Court case enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment. And you will be recognized as a nationwide leader on equality and opportunity, giving speeches, attending conferences, appearing on radio and television, and publishing op-eds and scholarly articles on these issues.
You will work on teams with junior and senior attorneys, providing your expertise and knowledge and elevating the talent and skill of our attorneys.

PLF’s administrative capacity is lean and nimble. In this new role, you’ll take on a host of responsibilities, spanning from contributing to new-hire orientation to coordinating with external vendors when requests arise.

Reception (online)—handling phone, email, and faxes.
Onboarding/Offboarding Support—assisting with new staff training on phone/copier; ordering supplies for new employees.
Staff Support—assisting in booking flights, hotels, and rental cars for staff; assisting with company credit card reconciliation; scheduling meetings; assisting with all-staff gatherings as needed.
Vendor Support—helping administer vendor accounts such as rideshare, corporate rental car, coffee and coffee supplies, furniture orders, office supplies, packages/shipping, and postage meter.
This role is ideal for someone who is:
Highly entrepreneurial and self-starting.
Extreme Customer Service mindset.
Detail-oriented and who takes extreme pride in getting things right the first time.
An amazing culture fit who loves PLF’s mission and values.
Passionate about learning and growing in the public interest/legal space.

You: You are passionate about advancing liberty through engaging social media content creation and management. You cracked the organic algorithm code across various platforms and have experience scaling social media accounts for a brand or organization.
You are a marketing-savvy storyteller who knows how to catch someone’s attention with a social media post. Your friends would probably classify you as “too online”—you’re fluent in the language, norms, trends, and memes of X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Reddit. You’re creative, willing to push boundaries, and unafraid to consistently collaborate and connect with internal departments, staff and notable influencers to curate content sure to engage the online masses.
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 U.S. Supreme Court, with 18 victories out of 20 cases litigated at the Court. We also have more than a hundred active cases across the nation.

Here’s what you get to do in this role:
You’ll get audiences excited about and invested in PLF as a brand. You’ll immerse yourself in the organization’s legal, policy, and research work, turning complex topics into digestible, entertaining content that algorithms adore. You’ll turn case stories into pithy posts and threads, drawing on PLF’s incredible database of client interviews, photography, film, and legal documents to create content that will draw outrage, sympathy, excitement, and support from existing followers and new audiences. You’ll draw inspiration from outside the nonprofit world—from cutting-edge ad campaigns, films, startups, and art—to put PLF’s social media program on the highest playing field. You won’t be afraid to disrupt the status quo; you’ll bring new ideas to PLF, along with a bias toward action. With you in this role, PLF will draw new attention and will become a bigger, more effective champion for our clients and for liberty.
The role is somewhat flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate your strengths and gaps in your knowledge. If you have videography, photography, or graphic design experience, you’ll hit the ground running designing graphics for social channels, but you may need training in copywriting.
We are seeking a creative and data-driven Social Media Growth Strategist to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate is passionate about leveraging social media platforms to grow audiences, increase engagement, and drive brand awareness.

But, getting down to brass tacks, your specific job duties likely will include:
Develop and execute growth strategies for X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube
Integrate social media with our broader marketing strategy, including branding, PR, and digital advertising.
Create, curate, and manage engaging content tailored to each platform
Analyze performance metrics to track progress and optimize content and strategies
Conduct A/B testing to determine the most effective approaches
Engage with the online community, responding to comments, messages, and mentions
Identify trends and emerging opportunities to stay ahead of the curve
Collaborate with internal departments and other stakeholders
Seek and manage influencer relationships
Monitor competitor activities and industry trends to inform strategy
Report regularly on performance, insights, and growth opportunities
Experiment with new formats and storytelling techniques to enhance engagement
Leverage existing PLF content, assets and documentaries to create social media content reels
This role is ideal for someone who has at least three years of experience and a track record of success in social media growth. Experience with graphic design software—including Adobe Photoshop or Canva—and video editing software—including Adobe Premiere or iMovie—is a bonus.
Key Skills:
Proven experience in growing social media channels across various platforms (e.g. X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, etc.)
Experience with social management tools like Meltwater, etc.
Strong understanding of social media algorithms, trends, and best practices
Analytical skills to interpret data and translate insights into actionable strategies
Proficiency in content creation, including copywriting, graphic design, and video editing
Ability to conduct market research and competitor analysis
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
