About the National Center for Public Policy Research
The National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) was established in 1982 to address issues insufficiently addressed by the broader Freedom Movement. It is a nimble and dynamic organization dedicated to providing free-market solutions to today’s public-policy problems through innovative programs. The National Center’s programs advance the principles of free markets, individual liberty, and personal responsibility. Its largest programs are the Free Enterprise Project (FEP), long-time leader of the fight for shareholders and capitalism against ESG & “stakeholder capitalism,” and Project 21, a black leadership network drawing its membership from academia, law enforcement, small business, the media, and other fields. Project 21 leads the fight against radical groups such as Black Lives Matter that seek to divide Americans along racial lines. The Center also includes an Environment and Enterprise Institute, which advances free market solutions to environmental problems and Able Americans, designed to promote market-oriented public policies that help people with disabilities.
About the Role
The Free Enterprise Project of the National Center is seeking an energetic and self-directed candidate to fill the role of FEP Associate. The new team member will work with the rest of the FEP team to defeat the capture of American corporations and related institutions by the hard left, and to ensure that center/right interests are fully represented throughout American business. This person will aid in returning business to performing their work and generating profits for shareholders while remaining neutral about political and social issues not directly related to the companies’ bottom lines. The candidate will focus on FEP’s Proxy Navigator app maintenance and development. This will include researching company proxy statements and making proxy voting recommendations. In addition, the candidate may be involved in the development and writing of shareholder proposals and related activities. The candidate may also be asked to educate the public about the app at relevant events.
The ideal candidate will already have an interest in assisting FEP’s efforts to roll back the leftwing capture of much of corporate America, and will be eager to learn more about what’s happening in corporate executive suites and how to fight it. Deep knowledge of the intricacies of corporate activism and the leftward lunge of the American corporate world is not required, but a qualified candidate will be prepared to get up to speed quickly. Hard-work and successful achievement in the role can lead to expanded responsibilities and position and salary advancement.
This person will report to the Director of the Free Enterprise Project. National Center for Public Policy Research is open to a hybrid or virtual office arrangement for exceptional candidates.
