Energy Policy Analyst

Job Description

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.

Americans for Prosperity is part of the Stand Together philanthropic community.

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) seeks an Energy Policy Analyst to assist its effort in developing a reform agenda for growth and energy abundance nationally and across the 50 states.

Reporting to one of AFP’s Policy Portfolio Directors, the candidate will work collaboratively with our Energy Policy Fellow and other members of the team to craft analysis and other content related to current legislation, policy proposals, and provide research to support our policy initiatives.

If you are excited to drive a national conversation around issues critical to the kind of reforms needed to drive economic progress and energy abundance and looking for an out-of-the-box policy career opportunity, apply today!
