The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s mission is to defend and sustain the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought — the most essential qualities of liberty. FIRE educates Americans about the importance of these inalienable rights, promotes a culture of respect for these rights, and provides the means to preserve them
About the Legislative and Policy DepartmentThe Legislative and Policy Department develops and advances FIRE’s positions on public policy issues related to free speech. We directly lobby legislators and regulatory agencies on issues that affect free speech, offer consultations to policymakers to help them draft and pass speech-protective legislation, draft model legislation, talk to press about legislation and government regulations that affect free speech, and write bill analyses, public statements, and other public-facing pieces related to FIRE’s legislative agenda.

- Drafting and delivering testimony for legislative hearings.
- Tracking and analyzing state and federal legislation and regulations.
- Advising on institutional policy positions and legislative strategy.
- Drafting regulatory comments.
- Drafting public statements, op-eds, blogs, and other advocacy pieces related to the department’s work.
- Drafting model legislation and amendments to existing bills.
- Networking and managing relationships with other organizations engaged in legislative advocacy on First Amendment issues.
- Attending and speaking on behalf of FIRE at conferences and events.
- Giving press statements and interviews.
This position will involve a moderate amount of travel. Work on weekends and evenings should be expected at certain times of the year.
The expected start date for this position will be as soon as possible.
QualificationsThis position requires:
- A strong work ethic.
- A careful attention to detail.
- The ability to work and communicate effectively with people across the political spectrum.
- Past success with building and managing relationships with other organizations.
- A passion for FIRE’s mission.
- Five-plus years of lobbying or legislative experience.
- Strong networking and interpersonal skills.
- The ability to analyze and articulate legal arguments.
- Strong writing skills.
- The ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment.
- An interest in mentoring junior members of the team.
- The ability to gather, analyze, and disseminate information accurately and quickly.

FIRE also offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes employer-paid comprehensive health, dental, and life insurance; a Section 125 Flexible Spending Account option; matching retirement contributions; and a generous paid time-off plan.
ApplicationsApplicants should provide a resume, cover letter, writing sample or other demonstration of work (portfolio, for example), salary requirements, and contact information for at least two professional references.
