Media Relations Officer – Commonwealth Foundation – PA-Based or Virtual Office

This role is meant for someone who wants to dive headlong into the media coverage of free market public policy knowing that it will require persistence in the face of a media and a public increasingly hostile to nuanced policy ideas.

Whether you’re a brilliant policy analyst who has a deep desire to influence the media narrative or an experienced communicator who loves a good policy debate, you’ll need to have a deep desire to spar with your communications teammates on the best way to present our policy arguments. At the same time, you’ll be given the task of building relationships with Pennsylvania and national reporters and editors.

The Media Relations Officer will have the opportunity to work closely with both the communications team and Vice President in charge of communications. The officer will report to the Director of Media and can be based in our Philadelphia, Harrisburg, or Pittsburgh office or work remotely from anywhere in the country.

About the Organizationintercollegiate studies Institute

Since 1953 the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) has been inspiring deep-thinking conservative college students, faculty, and alumni to understand and advance the foundations that make America free and prosperous. These key principles include limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law, free markets, and traditional values.

ISI is seeking a full-time Associate Development Officer (ADO) responsible for identifying, cultivating, and soliciting major gifts. The successful candidate would manage a growth portfolio of individual donors, major donor prospects, and foundations located nationally with some concentration in California and the Midwest. The primary purpose of the ADO is to secure funds for ISI by qualifying donors, fulfilling their philanthropic interests and passions, by providing them with giving opportunities, encouraging them to give, and assuring that as many as possible are retained as continuing donors to ISI and are upgraded in their support and involvement. The ADO will be expected to conduct regular personal meetings with donors and donor prospects. They will also be expected to make solicitations, employing an effective moves management strategy. The ADO will report to the Vice President of Philanthropy.

Internet Policy Counsel - TechFreedom - Washington, DC; San Francisco, CA; or Virtual Office

 

TechFreedomTechFreedom, the premier market-oriented technology policy think tank, seeks an experienced Internet lawyer to study, document and combat a populist frenzy sweeping across the political spectrum, channeling broad outrage about the tech sector, and demanding fundamental changes to the legal framework governing consumer protection, privacy, intermediary liability, content moderation, and political speech online. This scholar will work alongside our Competition Counsel to study, document and combat the so-called “Techlash.” They will join our existing team of Internet lawyers.

Philosophically, we’re casting a wide net, looking for those who approach the ongoing Digital Revolution as fellow dynamists, preferring the messiness of experimentation over technocratic promises of predictability and order.

We prefer candidates based in Washington, D.C., but will consider exceptional candidates based elsewhere — especially the San Francisco Bay area and Brussels. Remote candidates must be open to regular travel to D.C., and generally greater flexibility in travel and salary. Regular trips to D.C. would be required and at least two days per month in the D.C. area expected.
