Position Description
InterAction seeks a dynamic, experienced senior professional to join as a leader on our public policy and advocacy team, and lead our foreign assistance budget and appropriations portfolio, among other priorities. We are looking for someone who believes in the power of advocacy to shape a more peaceful and prosperous world and who knows how to build and maintain bipartisan coalitions. This position plays a leadership role in the InterAction community by providing regular analysis to the coalition, developing and executing advocacy strategies, and fostering learning on appropriations and congressional advocacy among InterAction members.
The prospective candidate will be expected to lead InterAction’s PPC Budget and Appropriations Subcommittee, provide written and oral budget analysis, facilitate information sharing, and represent the interests of InterAction to key agencies within the Administration (i.e. OMB, State Department, and USAID) and relevant Congressional staff and committees. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of how U.S. development and humanitarian foreign assistance budgets are created and why they matter to the American people. This may include direct experience working with the State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill, analyzing annual bills as well as supplemental funding requests, and developing recommendations for a group of stakeholders.
