• Build relationships with external research allies.
• Work closely with staff across the department to ensure that a research lens and approach are integrated into all American Progress campaigns and efforts, as appropriate.
• Ensure all of the team’s and larger department’s content meets a high bar of accuracy and fairness through quality control fact-checking procedures.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
• 7 to 10 years of professional experience with investigative research and/or in political communications roles.
• Previously demonstrated team leadership skills and a high level of competency.
• Ability to present and build unique arguments that affect targeted audiences.
• Established relationships across the progressive movement.
• Political experience on a campaign or with an advocacy group or nonprofit.
• Strong understanding of progressive values and policies and how they intersect with the news.
• Detail-oriented with the ability to juggle multiple projects for different stakeholders, often in rapid-response or high-pressure situations.
• Strong familiarity with research and data resources such as LexisNexis, FEC filings, SEC filings, federal spending data, Quorum, and the Congressional Record, and familiarity with economic measures and statistics.
• Expert writing skills.
• Proactive and a self-starter.
• Creative and committed to innovation and experimentation.
• Open to developing new skills as needed.
• Positive team player with a passion for progressive change.
