The ideal candidate will have strong written and verbal communication, the ability to conduct thorough research, excellent administrative and organizational skills, and the ability to maintain balance among multiple priorities, in addition to exercising sound judgement in a variety of situations. Working knowledge of health policy and related majors, degrees, or coursework is preferred.

Hours:

Hours can be flexible depending on availability, a minimum commitment of 15-20 hours per week, applicants must be located in Washington, D.C. to join us in our downtown office.

Policy, Advocacy, & Business Strategy
- legislative and regulatory analysis (i.e. regulatory summaries),
- policy writing (e.g., briefs and memos for various clients, including advocacy)
- research (e.g., white papers, background memos, etc.),
- event planning (e.g., hill briefings and stakeholder convenings)
- business strategy development
- attend meetings, hearings, and events on behalf of clients and key partners and provide detailed minutes and summaries 4

Demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple ongoing projects.

Compensation

Hourly compensation ranges from $20 – $22/hr. Actively enrolled students can expect school credit, if relevant, in addition or in lieu of financial compensation.
