KAP 2027-2028 - Communications and Operations Manager - Fiscal Lab

Stand Together • Washington, DC

10d • Remote

About The Position

The Fiscal Lab is seeking a Communications and Operations Manager to oversee the organization’s media relations and social media presence, coordinate logistics for the Center for Strategic Fiscal Reform (CSFR), and support day-to-day Fiscal Lab operations. The role is suited to someone with Capitol Hill experience who can move between external-facing communications in Washington and behind-the-scenes coordination.

The Fiscal Lab operates on a virtual work platform, so the position is primarily remote, with in-person engagement in Washington for CSFR events, Hill meetings, and media work as needed. The role is full-time, with scope and title calibrated to the candidate’s experience level. Although remote, this professional engagement works best for someone who lives in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

The position is part of the Koch Associate Program (KAP), a career accelerator for early- to mid-career professionals. KAP associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at a partner organization during the rest of the week.

Requirements

• Strong written communication skills and comfort writing for a policy and DC audience.
• Experience with social media management tools and platforms.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple logistics threads simultaneously, including in a virtual work environment.
• Strong interest in fiscal policy, economics, or public policy.

Nice To Haves

• Capitol Hill experience is strongly preferred; familiarity with how congressional offices work and an understanding of fiscal policy.
• Experience working with prominent Washington media, including press outreach.
• Prior nonprofit or think tank experience is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Manage logistics for CSFR events and initiatives, including speaker outreach, scheduling, and coordination among participating stakeholders, including congressional offices.
• Develop and execute social media strategy and content across platforms to raise the Fiscal Lab’s public profile.
• Draft and schedule social posts promoting Fiscal Lab research, events, and the Weekly Lab Report.
• Collaborate with research staff to translate policy work into accessible external communications.
• Support ad hoc operations tasks, such as event logistics, vendor coordination, and internal process support.
• Track engagement and media metrics and report on communications performance.
