- Monitor science and child & family policy activities in relevant agencies, in Congress and at the state-level.
- Develop targeted dissemination plans for policy-related products tailored to key policy audiences.

- Ability to work together: Exceptional interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and maintain strong relationships, and to work well within our team.
- Minimum of 1-3 years of professional experience required, running programs or working with U.S. federal policymakers and/or Congressional staff. Child and family policy or advocacy experience strongly preferred
