While the economy has increasingly become more rigged against working families over the past 50 years, conservative leaders have built an embellished and inaccurate economic brand using an increasingly walled-off echo chamber via talk radio, cable TV, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, ensuring their message dominates many Americans’ attention spans.

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.
American Progress offers full and competitive benefits packages. Candidates from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. This position is not represented by a union and has a minimum salary of $92,000.
