  • Help develop research and media strategies in coordination with other staff.

Qualifications:
  • Experience with policies on fuel economy, ZEVs, auto safety, or adjacent areas a plus.
  • Failing that, an eagerness to learn and ability to learn quickly.

  • Great medical and dental coverage, 100% paid by PC, including full coverage for children.
  • Three weeks paid vacation for new employees, plus five personal days.
  • 401K plan with a 5% contribution from PC after one year of employment.
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave after one year of employment.
