Under the direction of the Vice President of Government Relations for UCSF Health, the Director, as part of the Office of Community & Government Relations, is responsible for planning and implementing government relations and advocacy activities to advance UCSF Health's priorities at the local, state, and federal levels. This position is the primary liaison for UCSF Health to elected officials in the Bay Area, with an early focus on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, local mayors, and state elected officials with jurisdiction over health issues.
The Director will be responsible for building and executing a government relations and advocacy program that strengthens UCSF Heath's presence and visibility with policymakers in Sacramento and building strong, collaborative relationships with local policymakers.

The position also facilitates positive relationships with government officials and mitigates any actions, concerns or opposition that would adversely affect UCSF Health, UCSF, or the University of California. This position will be based in Oakland or San Francisco, requiring on-site work at both locations and periodic travel to Sacramento and Washington, D.C.
