Position Title: Senior Legislative Strategist
Omni Family of Services | Home Office (Hybrid/Remote) | Frequent Multi-State Travel Shape the Policies That Shape Families' Futures This is a rare opportunity to walk into a newly created, enterprise-level position with a direct line to the CEO and executive leadership. You won't be inheriting someone else's playbook. You'll be writing it, monitoring and analyzing legislation, regulations, and state budgets across every state where Omni operates, and turning that analysis into real influence on the policies affecting foster care, adoption, behavioral health, IDD services, and community-based family support.
