Communications Manager

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) seeks a communications manager with one to three years’ previous professional experience in media relations and public policy to work with ITIF’s policy analysts and communications team to increase ITIF’s exposure in the press, expand its social media presence, and enhance its reputation as the world’s top think tank for science and technology policy.

Reporting to ITIF’s chief communications officer and managing editor, this position is based in Washington, D.C., with a hybrid schedule allowing employees to work onsite in ITIF’s headquarters part of the time and remotely part of the time.

The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in technology and innovation issues and may have gained their previous media relations experience in journalism, government, or an organization such as a public policy think tank, industry trade association, advocacy group, public relations or public affairs agency.

ITIF has earned its standing as the world’s leading think tank for technology and innovation policy by nimbly producing high-caliber research reports, policy analysis, and commentary, and by staging a rich program of panel discussions and other events, which it hosts in its Washington, D.C. office and other locations. The communications manager’s primary responsibility is to help disseminate and publicize all this activity. This is an exciting opportunity for a rising media-relations and strategic-communications professional to deepen their expertise in public policy, public affairs, and government while helping to influence public debates on important technology-related issues.

The salary for this position is $60,000 to $80,000, commensurate with experience. ITIF offers a health benefits package, generous paid vacation, an annual performance-based bonus, and a public transportation benefit.
