Our Vision | An Ohio where people are welcome, affirmed, and flourishing.
Our Mission | Equality Ohio identifies and transforms systems and institutions so LGBTQ+ Ohioans can
fully access legal and lived equality.
With a combined board of 13 individuals and a staff of 18+, Equality Ohio Education Fund and Equality Ohio, are the premier statewide LGBTQ education and advocacy organizations dedicated to advancing LGBTQ+ equality in the Buckeye State.
Equality Ohio was founded in 2005 by a group of 65 dedicated LGBT activists and allies from all corners of Ohio after voters passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage and civil unions. Over a decade later, Equality Ohio’s work is broad and focuses on multiple aspects of LGBTQ equality in Ohio. Equality Ohio has and continues to change hearts, minds, and laws to create an Ohio where people are welcome, affirmed, and flourishing. In recent years, Ohio has seen an uptick in attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, putting Equality Ohio at the forefront of some of the highest-profile and highest-stakes legislative battles in the country.Equality Ohio is looking for our next Legal Clinic Director. This person will lead and manage our statewide legal clinic, ensuring the delivery of high-quality legal services to LGBTQ+ individuals. This role involves overseeing day-to-day operations, developing and implementing strategic initiatives, and fostering a culture of inclusivity and equity within the clinic. The ideal candidate will be a dedicated advocate for LGBTQ+ rights with a strong background in legal services and nonprofit management.
Equality Ohio is dedicated to promoting and protecting the legal rights of LGBTQ+ communities across the state by providing accessible and affordable legal assistance. We strive to empower individuals through advocacy, education, and direct legal services, fostering a just and inclusive society.

LOCATION | Columbus, Ohio
This position will require consistent presence in Columbus. We also have physical offices in Columbus and Cleveland, and we are a hybrid remote / in-person work environment. Some travel will be required.

Candidates are required to be/have:
We prefer but do not require the following qualifications and skills:
Successful candidates should be/have:
Equality Ohio’s regular business hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. Non-exempt employees shall be permitted a 30-minute paid lunch each day. All employees shall be entitled to a fifteen (15) minute break for each four (4) hour period worked. The default regular work week shall consist of forty (40) hours per week.
Due to the nature of the work of Equality Ohio - and this position in particular - employees may have to work weeknights and weekends. Employees may be permitted to balance time to equalize their workload and account for the flexibility needed to accomplish the above-mentioned work. To provide opportunities for internal meetings, employees are generally expected to establish a schedule such that they are typically available for work meetings during the hours between 9:00am and 4:00pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, recognizing that circumstances may at times require a meeting to take place outside of this timeframe. As an organization, we expressly strive to limit the number of meetings on Fridays after 12:00 noon.
Candidates should be able to travel independently across the state, sometimes overnight. In-state travel outside of Columbus is estimated at approximately two (2) to four (4) times per month. Out-of-state travel may occur up to three (3) or more times per year. Travel will be reimbursed or paid for directly per EO’s internal policies. Mileage is reimbursed at the standard IRS rate. Per diems are provided and vary based on in-state or out-of-state travel.
The nature of this position requires nearly constant sedentary positions, including significant work at a computer (e.g. typing, document creation, database management, reading, tracking, video conferences, phone calls, etc.) and participation in meetings, legislative hearings, and more. There may be the occasional need to lift and move furniture, tables, etc. at events. Additionally, as this position requires one to be in the statehouse and attend various public events, there may be instances where the person encounters weather and outdoor elements, temperature fluctuations, enclosed spaces, and noisy environments. Accommodations can and will be made for candidates who may not be able to meet some of the physical demands outlined.
Studies have shown that women, non-binary folks, and People of Color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every single one of the qualifications as described in a job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization, and we are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job. That candidate may be one who comes from a background less traditional to our field of work, and that’s okay. We would strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of the qualifications described.
People of color, LGBTQ+ people, and those with gender-expansive identities are strongly encouraged to apply.
