About the Tax Foundation 
The Tax Foundation is the nation’s leading independent tax policy nonprofit. Since 1937, our principled research, insightful analysis, and engaged experts have informed smarter tax policy at the federal, state, and global levels. For over 80 years, our goal has remained the same: to improve lives through tax policies that lead to greater economic growth and opportunity. We use our research and analysis to bring tax changes to the national spotlight, foster competition among the states, and advise policymakers on how to improve their tax systems.
Job Overview
This newly created position’s goal is to develop and implement outreach strategies that raise America’s Tax and Economic IQ. We are looking for a very creative and energetic person who would listen for and seek new audiences for the Tax Foundation’s Tax Basics program and know how each of these audiences most easily accesses tax information—the forms of media the audiences consume, how they talk, and what makes them engage. This position will report to the Vice President of Marketing and Communications. The role is ideally based in Washington, DC. For the exceptional candidate, remote work will be considered.
