ABOUT THE ROLE

The Communications Director will be responsible for leading Future Caucus’ press and media operations to amplify Future Caucus members and success stories, promote new narratives about the next generation of problem-solving, and build the Future Caucus brand. The Communications Director reports directly to the Chief Strategy & Public Affairs Officer, manages communications staff, and provides leadership, supervision, and oversight of the organization’s communications, public relations, and earned media strategies.

The individual in this position will play a key role in strategically advancing Future Caucus’ efforts in support of a more functional democracy, driven by the inclusive and effective leadership of young policymakers. The role includes heavy press and media engagement and will serve as our primary liaison with national reporters; it also includes significant writing, especially blog-like stories related to the impact of our legislator-members from both sides of the aisle.

The ideal candidate is a strong, creative writer and an experienced communications professional who will bring sophisticated media strategies to our organization. Communications experience with a state or federal legislative office or agency is preferred but not required.

ABOUT FUTURE CAUCUS

Future Caucus has an audacious mission: activate young leaders to bridge the partisan divide and build a more functional democracy. Future Caucus is a national, nonpartisan organization dedicated to supporting the next generation of elected leaders. We provide the resources, networking, and capacity-building opportunities for these policymakers to forge productive partnerships on critical national issues.

In 2013, Future Caucus organized the nation’s first and only caucus for young members of Congress, the Congressional Future Caucus, to build coalitions on future-oriented challenges. Future Caucus also scaled this model into more than 33 state legislatures, each with a Future Caucus consisting of young, high-potential legislators, and now engages more than 1,800 young legislators nationwide.
