About the Role
ICLE seeks an energetic and strategic full-time Communications Manager, preferably located in the Eastern Time Zone, to promote ICLE research and scholars and help craft the center’s communications strategy. Our team offers a highly competitive salary, excellent benefits, and a flexible schedule.
Working at the direction of the Editor-in-Chief, the Communications Manager will be responsible for executing and evolving ICLE’s communications agenda. This mid-career position requires an entrepreneurial spirit, the ability to take ownership of projects, and a vision for the communications output of our organization. It requires a demonstrated ability to engage with the media; pitch content to publications; pitch scholars to appear as guests on television, radio, and podcast programs; manage social media channels; and to distill dense material into more accessible and readily communicable content. It also means that you have excellent networking skills and a strong ability to build relationships with reporters and editors.

Skills and qualifications
- Three years of communications experience—be it with campaigns, in a legislator’s office, a policy-oriented non-profit or in the media—will likely be necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of this position.
- A strong preference for candidates who have experience working with legal, economic, and/or policy matters.
- Though we are mostly remote, ICLE is a small, close-knit team. We’re looking for a colleague with grit and determination, who is also positive, flexible, and team-oriented.
