Congressional Investigations Advisor (Writing Intensive)
About The Position
We're looking for a Congressional Investigations Advisor who can transform fast-moving Capitol Hill developments into polished client alerts, sharp talking points, and incisive briefing memoranda.

If you have a talent for producing accurate, well-sourced writing on quick turnaround—whether that's a client letter, a research brief, or a proposal for new business—and want to put those skills to work at the intersection of law, policy, and government investigations, we want to hear from you.
