(Career Progress) JOB: CHAMBER WATCH DIRECTOR - PUBLIC CITIZEN, (CAP HILL) WASHINGTON, DC

PUBLIC CITIZEN

215 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC 20003

Congress Watch Division

Position Available – Chamber Watch Director

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF POSITION:

Work to create and brand the U.S. ChamberWatch program as an entity that shines a light on the activities of the Chamber, and challenges its distortions of fact, its massive, anonymous corporate spending in elections, and the undue influence of the Chamber over federal and state policy.

The project conducts research and communications on the myriad activities of the U.S. Chamber, and will work in coalition with consumer protection, environmental and other public interest groups, as well as small business organizations and labor unions. The U.S. Chamber Watch director will guide this work.

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with campaign experience (corporate, electoral or otherwise), that is able to manage staff, communicate well, and build strong coalitions to take on the U.S. Chamber as they misleadingly claim to represent the interests of millions of small businesses, and work to benefit only the largest and most powerful corporations in America.

Full job description located here.

QUALIFICATIONS: J.D., M.A., or comparable experience preferred. Five years of experience in a legislative setting or in campaign-oriented public interest advocacy, including three years as a supervisor. Proven interpersonal and management skills. Outstanding analytical thinking, political judgment, and oral and written communication skills. High energy and enthusiasm.

SALARY AND BENEFITS: Competitive salary commensurate with experience; good medical and dental coverage; three weeks paid vacation for new employees. This is a grant contingent position.

To apply: Send cover letter, resume, and writing sample to lgilbert@citizen.org. Please include your last name and the position for which you are applying in the subject line of your email and in the filenames of attachments.
