  • Utilize professional knowledge of the public policy process and established contacts to analyze potential opportunities and intersections of proposed legislative and regulatory activity with the work of the Brookings scholars.
  • Identify and develop relationships with points of contact in the Washington D.C. public policy community, including the White House, U.S. Congress, Executive Branch Agencies, think tanks, trade associations, and relevant stakeholders on matters affecting the institution's mission.
  • Maintain awareness of emerging policy trends and adapt strategies accordingly.
  • Collaborate with internal, cross-functional teams to achieve common objectives.

  • Strong understanding of the legislative and regulatory processes at the federal level; local, state, and/or international experience a plus.
  • Proven track record in developing and executing strategic plans to engage with policymakers.
  • Experience in providing guidance and support to scholars, staff, and leadership in their interactions with public officials.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to distill complex policy issues into clear and compelling messages.
