For the Policy Analyst position, additional responsibilities include drafting grant proposals, managing coalitions of stakeholders, and collaborating with communications and advocacy teams to promote the team's work externally. Candidates should possess a strong interest in federal tax policy, budget policy, and economic policy, along with excellent writing skills and the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and external stakeholders. A bachelor's degree with relevant experience or a master's degree is required, with specific experience levels varying between the Policy Analyst and Research Analyst roles. Preferred qualifications include a background in research and policy analysis related to federal tax and budget policy, as well as experience in writing for public audiences and managing diverse coalitions.
