  • Strategic Alignment: You will work closely with the Communications Team to ensure our policy ideas are translated into clear, understandable messages for the public.

Must-Haves:

  • Execution mapping: You can take a broad objective (like "write a program about X") and proactively break it down into actionable steps.

  • Leadership Skills: You know how to delegate, motivate volunteers, and build a team culture.
