Job Description

Engine is looking to add a new member to our policy team to help formulate and advocate for pro-startup, pro-innovation policies. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work on the issues that early-stage startups face, including tax, capital formation, and access to talent.

As Engine’s Policy Analyst/Manager, you will:

  • Work closely with Engine staff to develop strategy and shape Engine’s take on a wide range of policy issues.

  • Monitor and provide analysis of policy proposals and conversations at the state and federal levels that would impact the startup ecosystem.

  • Communicate Engine’s positions to policymakers and their staff, including through meetings, written regulatory comments, and statements.

  • Represent Engine in public and in working with allies.

The Candidate:

  • Must have demonstrated interest in the intersection of policy and entrepreneurship.

  • Must have the ability to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

  • Must be willing and able to develop expertise in new policy areas with limited direct guidance.

  • Must be a self-starter.

  • Must be able to write clearly and compellingly (including in Engine’s weekly newsletters, blog posts, op-eds, social media, comments to federal agencies, letters to Congress, and research projects).

  • Must work well with and coordinate large coalition groups with disparate interests.

Pluses:

  • Recent experience working for a policymaker.

  • Experience working on policy issues relevant to the startup ecosystem, including telecommunications and intellectual property.

  • Political or startup/VC experience.
