Roosevelt’s Work

The Roosevelt Institute takes on today’s greatest public policy challenges by advancing bold, cutting-edge research and policy ideas. We believe that the future of the American economy and our democracy depends on a new way of thinking about markets and government—and have successfully engaged with policymakers and the media to inform and shape public debate. Too few people hold too much economic and political power today, and we know that a stronger society is possible if we rectify this imbalance between private actors and the public. With a commitment to restructuring markets, transforming corporations, reviving democratic institutions, and reimagining the role of government, our work moves our nation toward a more resilient, equitable, and green future. The Roosevelt Institute is a think tank, a student network, and the nonprofit partner to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum that, together, are learning from the past and working to redefine our collective future. Focusing on corporate and public power, labor and wages, and the economics of race and gender inequality, the Roosevelt Institute unifies experts, invests in young leaders, and advances progressive policies that bring the legacy of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt into the 21st century.

What You’ll Do

The Managing Director of Government Relations will lead Roosevelt Institute’s engagement with federal policymakers — with a primary focus on Congress — and a select set of state and local leaders. This role is responsible for developing and executing a forward-looking government relations strategy that ensures Roosevelt’s ideas meaningfully shape legislative debates, policymaker thinking, and long-term economic governance. Working closely with senior leadership and policy directors, the Managing Director will translate Roosevelt’s research, programs, and long-term strategy into proactive congressional engagement. The Managing Director will position Roosevelt not only as an influential voice in shaping governing agendas, but also as a trusted, go-to think tank — relied upon by Members of Congress and committees for smart, creative, and rigorous policy expertise.

Essential Functions & Responsibilities

Strategy & Leadership

Develop and execute a comprehensive federal government relations strategy, with a primary focus on Congress and select state/local engagement aligned with Roosevelt’s strategic priorities

Identify priority committees, Members, caucuses, and key legislative moments where Roosevelt can shape debate and outcomes

Design innovative approaches to congressional engagement — expanding alliances, cultivating emerging leaders, and building new pathways to socialize ideas and foster dialogue

Establish clear goals and metrics for policy influence, relationship-building, and institutional positioning

Policymaker Engagement

Build and maintain strong relationships with Members of Congress, committee staff, and select state and local elected officials

Position Roosevelt as a trusted policy resource — proactively offering background briefings, policy ideas, hearing support, and one-on-one engagement with Members

Ensure Roosevelt experts are visible, accessible, and relied upon in legislative conversations, hearings, and policy development

Translate Roosevelt research into clear, actionable policy guidance tailored to diverse congressional audiences

Staff organizational principals and senior fellows for high-impact policymaker engagements

Political & External Interface

Interface appropriately with federal political stakeholders, including political committees and allied political infrastructure, within applicable compliance boundaries

Monitor political dynamics that affect policy windows and advise leadership on strategic engagement opportunities

Identify and cultivate relationships with rising political leaders and influential policy leaders

Internal Coordination & Campaign Alignment

Coordinate closely with policy teams to align government engagement with Roosevelt’s research agenda and campaign priorities

Partner with Communications, Partnerships, and Roosevelt Forward (c4) leadership to ensure aligned strategy within appropriate compliance guidelines

Support fellows and policy directors in developing engagement strategies that increase the uptake and visibility of their work

Keep leadership apprised of congressional developments and recommend strategic interventions

Operations & Team Management

Oversee CRM systems and institutional tracking of government relationships

Manage and mentor a small government relations team

Ensure compliance with all applicable c3/c4 advocacy and lobbying requirements

What You’ll Have

Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree strongly preferred

10+ years of experience working with Congress, in legislative leadership roles, or in high-level policy advocacy

Deep understanding of federal legislative processes and congressional operations

Demonstrated ability to translate complex policy ideas into actionable legislative strategy

A track record of innovative policymaker engagement and coalition-building

Strong political judgment and comfort operating in high-stakes, complex environments

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including briefing memos and executive-level materials

Experience managing staff and cross-functional initiatives

Commitment to Roosevelt’s values and goals of building a more just, inclusive, and equitable economy

Additional Details

The salary for this position is $161,999 - $175,000 plus benefits. This is a hybrid role based in Washington, DC.

The application deadline is Friday May 15, 2026.
