Washington, United States Bipartisan Policy Center Full time

The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is a Washington, DC-based think tank that helps policymakers work across the aisle to craft bipartisan solutions. By connecting lawmakers, delivering data and context, negotiating policy details, and creating space for bipartisan collaboration, BPC ensures democracy can function on behalf of all Americans. We believe that bipartisanship combines the best ideas of both parties to create an even better, lasting policy.

BPC is seeking a media relations professional with a background in energy, infrastructure, or related policy to join our communications team. In this role, your primary function is to generate positive media coverage for BPC’s energy and infrastructure projects, directors and/or executive directors, and other senior staff associated with our Energy and Infrastructure projects.

A successful applicant will work hand in hand with BPC’s Energy and Infrastructure project staff to produce reports and policy recommendations, hold events, and use traditional and digital media to advance our policy objectives.

You will be part of a six-person media team and work closely with the broader communications team, including marketing, digital, and events. While the position will reside on the Communications team, the position will be considered a full-time member of the Energy team.
