Senior Director, Government Relations - Washington - National Grocers Association
8 hours ago
Description
OVERVIEW
The National Grocers Association (NGA) is the national trade association for America's 21,500 independent community grocers. NGA members include retail and wholesale grocers located in every congressional district across the country, as well as state grocers' associations, manufacturers, and service suppliers.
The NGA Government Relations (GR) team manages government relations, political activities, member casework, and more. We lobby on issues across a range of policies, including food, nutrition, antitrust, payments, labor and employment, tax, privacy, pharmacy, among others.
POSITION SUMMARY
NGA is seeking a seasoned Senior Director of Government Relations to lead and advance the association's advocacy on key business policy issues, especially with republicans, affecting the independent grocery industry. This role is responsible for developing and executing federal legislative and regulatory strategies, representing NGA with policymakers and coalition partners, and advising NGA leadership and members on complex policy matters. The position offers significant autonomy and external visibility.
Reporting to the head of government relations, the Senior Director will help shape NGA's advocacy priorities, drive member engagement initiatives, and guide business policy communications in coordination with our communications team. This role is based in Washington, DC, and is primarily in‑office to support effective lobbying and in‑person engagement, with limited hybrid flexibility offered when appropriate. A proactive, results‑driven professional will thrive in this position.
