- Familiarize government officials with IPF’s analysis and research, and target IPF work to appropriate audiences.
- Craft internal and external communications showcasing government relations work and explanations of complex developments and dynamics on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch for new and existing audiences.
Organizational Management and Leadership
- Build and supervise the government relations team in Washington, and create a strategic plan for long-term departmental growth.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across other departments to integrate IPF’s government relations work into larger strategic and messaging goals, and help support other departments’ initiatives.
