Research Assistant to the President and SVP for Policy – Cato Institute – Washington, DC

Description

The Cato Institute seeks an ambitious and resourceful candidate to provide research support to Peter Goettler, its president and CEO, and Gene Healy, its senior vice president for policy, reporting directly to both. The position offers the successful applicant the opportunity to work closely with the Cato Institute’s senior leadership and is ideal for anyone looking to begin a career in public policy.

About Cato

The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization—a think tank—dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues. 

Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to Cato’s Letters, a series of essays published in 18th-century England that presented a vision of a society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution—individual liberty, limited government, and free markets—turn out to be even more powerful in today’s world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for a free people, it is the indispensable framework for the future.

The Cato Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Major Gifts Manager – New Civil Liberties Alliance – Washington, DC or Virtual Office

About the New Civil Liberties Alliance

NCLA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group founded by prominent legal scholar Philip Hamburger to protect constitutional freedoms from violations by the Administrative State. NCLA’s public-interest litigation and other pro bono advocacy strive to tame the unlawful power of state and federal agencies and to foster a new civil liberties movement that will help restore Americans’ fundamental rights.

About the Major Gifts Manager Opening

This position is ideal for someone wanting to join a growing, collaborative, engaged alliance. As NCLA’s name suggests, it is committed to creating a movement of lawyers and others to defend civil liberties in a new way: constitutional litigation to remove administrative agencies’ unlawful tools and tactics.

The major gifts manager must be deeply committed to NCLA’s mission and possess sufficient experience and wherewithal to recruit major donors alongside the Director of Development and President of NCLA. This position offers a unique opportunity to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from a position in a civil liberties organization.

The Manager of Major Gifts should be able to work proactively alongside the Director of Development and other senior leaders. NCLA has a substantial development program already.  We are seeking a manager of major gifts who will bring experience and skills to help advance a culture of excellence, entrepreneurial zeal, and strategic action.

The Manager of Major Gifts will work from NCLA’s Washington, DC office and can work from home one day per week. Alternatively, we will consider exceptional candidates living elsewhere in the country who want to work virtually.  This full-time position reports to the Director of Development. This position will travel (approximately 10% for local candidates; 30% for virtual candidates) as needed for fundraising purposes.
