Leading the conversation on energy and transportation policy, SAFE produces high-quality, fact-based analysis and policy recommendations for lawmakers, regulatory agencies, and the public with the goal of bolstering the economic and national security of the United States and its allies. Our organization convenes industry executives, policymakers, former military leaders, and other stakeholders to advance a range of initiatives in the energy, climate, and industrial policy realms.  

Position Summary

This will include the support of and/or participation in meetings, briefings, hearings, and other events.
  • You will work closely with Senior Vice President, Government Relations and the Executive Directors of SAFE’s centers to develop and execute legislative and executive branch outreach efforts, including events, briefings, and meetings; identify key topics for analysis; draft memos and briefing materials; and support Executive Directors and organization leadership in meetings with elected officials and staff.
  • You will work closely with the SAFE communications team to develop strategic communications to a policymaker and key stakeholder audience.
  • You will represent SAFE in industry associations, coalitions, think tank discussions, and other forums to advance company priorities.
  • Other responsibilities not listed may be added based on the individual’s skills and background.
