Washington, United States Center on Budget and Policy Priorities Full time


The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation's prosperity.


CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states.

It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and others in communities that continue to face systemic barriers to opportunity.

CBPP promotes policies that will build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term.

CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen disparities, and worsen health outcomes.


CBPP is seeking a Manager or Senior Manager of Government Affairs to help advance our policy goals and communicate our research findings and policy recommendations to congressional policymakers and staff.

Reporting to the Vice President for Government Affairs, the Manager or Senior Manager will help design and execute legislative work on a broad range of fiscal policies and low-income and/or economic assistance programs including but not limited to those related to housing, nutrition, and income support.

Represent CBPP on the Hill in meetings, briefings, and events and work with policymakers to promote CBPP policies and legislative priorities.

Strengthen CBPP's coalition efforts with national organizations and identify opportunities to work with other diverse groups and constituencies.

Help represent CBPP with various national partners and coalitions to inform CBPP's policy agenda, provide support for partners and stakeholders on shared priorities, and promote CBPP's policy and legislative priorities.


Draft legislative updates and other written materials, engage in public speaking, and provide strategic assistance and information to CBPP staff as well as national and state organizations engaged in the debate around federal budget priorities and low-income issues.


Build and maintain close working relationships with CBPP policy experts and senior leaders to ensure effective communication and information sharing in a rapidly changing environment.


Build and maintain excellent relationships with key congressional offices and caucuses and other external stakeholders to promote CBPP's policy and legislative priorities.

A Senior Manager will be expected to perform the responsibilities above with more autonomy.

While they will consult with colleagues and CBPP leaders, they will own developing and executing on strategies, work plans, and products with less guidance.
