What are the responsibilities and job description for the Federal Affairs Manager position at Americans for Tax Reform?
Federal Affairs Manager
Financial Services
ATR is seeking a policy/government affairs staff member with an issue portfolio focused on financial services issues; including banking, insurance, credit, monetary policy, and cryptocurrency. You will join a growing federal government affairs team working for free-market solutions and a light-touch regulatory environment.
The incumbent will advocate for free-market policies through direct lobbying and coalition building, building relationships with Congress in particular. Key to this position are effectiveness in writing and public speaking, as well as enthusiasm for working with diverse interests toward a common goal.
ATR fosters an entrepreneurial culture. Applicants should be self-motivated and driven by intellectual support for the policy work and an ideological commitment to individual liberty. Successful candidates will have a coalition-minded outlook and a flexibility toward working in different issue areas.
Sound writing skills are a must. Applicants should be able to communicate complex financial services issues to a general audience. A demonstrated ability to balance competing priories is desired, as is two or more years’ experience in analysis or advocacy within the conservative/libertarian movement or on Capitol Hill. Campaign experience is a strong plus.
Applicants should submit a résumé along with an introductory email to cbutler@atr.org.
