Jennifer "Jen" Klein is a legally trained American federal officeholder, serving, as of March 2021, as inaugural Co-Chair (with Julissa Reynoso) then eventual sole Director of the newly created White House Gender Policy Council,[1][non-primary source needed][2][3] and concommitantly as an Assistant to Joe Biden, President of the United States.[1][non-primary source needed]

After a JD from Columbia University School of Law that followed a BA from Brown University, Klein went on to serve in advisory positions in the White House (Special Assistant to President Bill Clinton on the Domestic Policy Council, and senior domestic policy advisor to First Lady Hillary Clinton) and in the U.S. Department of State (Deputy and Senior Advisor, Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues), before taking on the role current as of July 2024.[1][non-primary source needed] Klein's work advising President Biden "on issues including reproductive rights, gender-based violence, and women’s economic security" continue the focus on American gender policy at domestic and international levels that has characterised her career.[1][non-primary source needed]

Klein's most immediate non-governmental position prior to return to serve in the Biden White House was as chief strategy and policy officer at the now defunct organization, Time's Up, a non-profit organization that, from 2018-2022, sought to "help fight systemic sexual harassment", in part through the establishment of a legal defense fund.[4][better source needed]

Klein has served as a Senior Fellow at Brown University’s Watson Institute and an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law Center.[citation needed] As of 2021 she was living with her husband, Todd Stern, and their 3 children, in Washington, DC.[citation needed]
