Key Responsibilities:

  • Direct the formulation and implementation of strategy and insights-driven projects in collaboration with various departments and senior management.
  • Supervise the research and polling unit that conducts regular studies for both internal and external purposes, utilizing quantitative, qualitative, social listening, AI, and other methodologies.
  • Manage the development and execution of long-term strategy projects in domains such as reputation management, messaging innovation, risk evaluation, original thought leadership, strategic planning, industry positioning, and narrative crafting.
  • Collaborate with the broader Public Affairs team and the PhRMA organization to integrate strategic insights into our initiatives.
  • Design and implement project plans, memos, presentations, and other materials for the team.

  • Act as a representative for the team both internally and with external stakeholders, delivering impactful presentations to various audiences.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

Success Factors:
PhRMA seeks a proactive, solution-oriented, strategic thinker who is enthusiastic about strategic insights and advocacy communications. Essential success factors for this position include a strong sense of teamwork and collaboration, a results-driven mindset, and the ability to work independently.

The ideal candidate will possess a blend of research insights, strategy formulation, and political communications expertise. This includes knowledge in politics, research/polling, advocacy communications, consulting, strategic planning, and/or project management for large organizations, government entities, and/or institutions.

Moreover, the candidate should be an organized, detail-oriented self-starter with exceptional communication skills, capable of conveying complex information in a clear and engaging manner.

Demonstrating consensus-building skills among internal and external stakeholders, as well as strong decision-making and interpersonal abilities, is crucial. This position is highly visible and fast-paced, requiring adaptability, the ability to reprioritize quickly, and comfort in high-pressure situations while being politically astute, diplomatic, and responsive.

Professional Experience / Requirements:

  • 10+ years of relevant experience.
  • Proven understanding of strategic insights, the political landscape, and the advocacy environment.
  • Demonstrated expertise in strategic planning, consulting, change management, project management, and client relations.
  • A collaborative, team-oriented approach that fosters confidence and incorporates diverse perspectives into the team's work.
  • Outstanding communication (both verbal and listening) and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong project management capabilities: adept at prioritizing, delegating, following up, and taking initiative.
  • A curious mindset that encourages the right inquiries and a commitment to seeing projects through to completion.
  • The ability to synthesize, clarify, and communicate complex issues and ideas to a non-technical audience.
  • Capacity to work effectively with a diverse, bipartisan array of stakeholders.
  • A Bachelor's degree is required.

Preferred Experience:

  • Expertise in analytics, employing both quantitative and qualitative data, and applying it within a business context.

Compensation:

$187,100-$253,270 annually. Salary will be commensurate with experience and other compensable factors.
