Justification

Humana is seeking a PAC Growth Lead to lead initiatives to support and strengthen the growth of HumanaPAC.

A centerpiece of this role would be the development and implementation of a strategic and measurable fundraising plan focused on engaging internal PAC-eligible associates to help support our federal and state advocacy goals.

This role requires exceptional fundraising expertise, an understanding of the regulatory landscape governing PACs, and the ability to be a proactive leader who can identify new opportunities to engage eligible associates and optimize the PAC’s fundraising potential.

• Lead, build, and execute – in partnership with Corporate Affairs leadership – fundraising strategy to grow Humana’s PACs, including annual strategic planning, PAC and political content development, event planning, and execution.
• Design and oversee the execution of compelling fundraising campaigns, events, and targeted outreach to engage internal PAC-eligible associates and maximize the PAC’s financial capacity to support federal and state advocacy goals.

This could include materials such as one-pagers, FAQs, newsletters, executive talking points, and website updates.
• Directly engage with PAC members and prospects, in individualized and group settings, educating and encouraging voluntary PAC membership through effective and non-partisan communication of its importance to the company’s public policy agenda.
• Work closely with the Vice President of Federal Affairs and the Vice President of State Affairs to develop a targeted HumanaPAC engagement strategy involving state and federal policymakers to accelerate associate support and interest in HumanaPAC. This could include in-person or virtual events that are issue-based or geographically targeted.
• Work closely with the Chief of Staff on Humana PAC operation and compliance tasks and other responsibilities as assigned. This includes also working with other senior members of the Government Affairs team to ensure coordination and alignment of record-keeping of contributor and recipient records, including all necessary compliance and required filings are done in a timely and appropriate manner. As directed, support efforts to prepare comprehensive reports for internal stakeholders and, as applicable, materials for state and federal regulatory agencies.
