Position description
TPA is seeking a Senior Tech Fellow to further the organization’s research, analysis, and advocacy on technology policy issues with direct implications for taxpayers. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in tech policy, a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility and limited government, and the ability to translate complex technical issues into compelling policy arguments and public communications. This is a high-visibility role that will shape TPA’s voice on some of the most consequential technology debates of our time. This is not an entry-level position.
Key responsibilities:
- Conduct original research on emerging technology issues including artificial intelligence, algorithmic systems, the infrastructure of the digital economy, and data governance, translating complex technical concepts for legislative and public audiences.
- Produce high-quality reports, op-eds, blogs, policy briefs, and one-pagers that advance the organization’s mission and influence public discourse.
- Monitor legislative, regulatory, and industry developments and assess their implications for TPA’s focus areas.
- Represent the organization in congressional briefings, state legislative hearings, regulatory comment processes, and interagency meetings.
- Develop policy recommendations and advocacy positions grounded in rigorous technical and legal analysis.
- Represent TPA at policy briefings, coalition meetings, and relevant events as needed.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in public policy, political science, economics, or a related field.
- 4-8 years of experience in advocacy, research, or policy in the tech sector, ideally within a nonprofit, think tank, or government setting.
- Strong interest in tech policy, artificial intelligence, and data privacy.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex policy issues clearly and concisely.
- Strong research and analytical skills, including the ability to track and interpret legislation and regulatory developments.
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced policy environment.
This position is remote on Fridays, and in-person at our Washington D.C. office Monday-Thursday. TPA offers medical and dental insurance coverage, and a generous and flexible PTO policy.
