We're a dynamic, hard-working team that thrives on constant learning, ownership, and growth.
About You
You have a passion for policy — at the federal, state, or local level — and a genuine curiosity about how legislation and regulation shape the world.
You are a strong writer and communicator who can synthesize complex information for a wide range of audiences, from analysts to executives.
You are organized, reliable, and take pride in delivering accurate, high-quality work on time — even when juggling competing priorities.
You seek out feedback, apply it quickly, and are committed to building your skills and growing your career.
You are a team player who contributes positively to those around you and takes accountability for your own work and outcomes.
You are comfortable working with technology and data, and you are open to adopting new tools — including AI-assisted workflows — to improve efficiency and output quality.

A Bachelor’s degree in political science, government, economics, public policy, or a related subject. Experience using data to support analysis and communicate targeted, concise insights.
