Dreamliners & Dynamos
Progressive think tank Third Way seeks resumes for Administrative Coordinator by July 6. At least three years of accounting and admin experience desired.
The Charles G. Koch Foundation notes program-related positions available on their careers page – as well as a Senior Development Officer position that we first found in February (perhaps they are recruiting more than one, or are always looking for development/fundraising talent):
By our (semi-accurate at best) count, we’ve featured a couple dozen opportunities with the Brookings Institution, going back to when we were about ten days old. Here’s the latest: Assistant to the VP/Director of the Economic Studies Program. Apply by June 12.
OK – it hasn't exactly been a great couple of weeks for the Republican Party in the spousal behavior deparment. Prospects may looking up, however, for a few of you young GOP types – the College Republican National Committee has put out the call for five or six Interns for the DC office this fall.
The Dreamliner-developing folks from Boeing are looking for a senior-level Government Relations Specialist for a wide range of advocacy and relationship building activities. Apply by July 7 (7/07 - a possible allusion/homage to the legendary Boeing 707?).* Can also search here, using req number 09-1009699. They’re also looking for a less-senior GR Specialist (09-1009566), and want those resumes by July 1.
The latest opportunities with the Human Rights Campaign Fund:
Khalilzad Associates is seeking to hire a Senior Consultant with 5-10 years of experience in preparing strategies to attract foreign direct investment in developing countries.
Fresh from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change: this opportunity for a Congressional Affairs Fellow. Their call for an Energy Efficiency Communications Associate appears about three weeks older.
Several chances for the presumably-bright crew at the Society for Neuroscience to get inside your head – or at least view your resume:
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington is not content with just plain competent and experienced candidates; instead looking to hire a creative dynamo/go-getter for their Israel & International Affairs Associate position. Which is fine, since we are certain the DCPA+CJ readership is a dynamo-rich cohort.
For your far-flung Friday special opportunity: HBO Corporate Affairs Associate (search req # 112941BR or Corp Comm-Corp Affairs-Govt Affairs category) with Time Warner in San Francisco. Primary duty is to promote HBO/Cinemax programming nationwide through media events including screenings, talent appearances, and community outreach.
San Francisco not far-flung enough for your tastes? How about heading over to EU-land, as Executive Director, Brussels Office for the US Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber is looking for candidates with 10+ years’ experience with international business and trade issues, particularly in Europe and familiarity with EU institutions and officials. Mid-to-upper $100k salary range.
Busy days ahead for the HR department at the Defenders of Wildlife we imagine. In addition a couple of maybe-still-active opportunities we first found in early May, they also show these openings:
The better-world-builders at CHF International tout a few spots open on the team:
To enter through this company’s door, answer thou these questions four:
Democracy International is looking for short-term Program Staff with experience in program/admin work for international development or democracy promotion organizations. Experience with election-related projects a strong plus.

And here's another new offering from the ACLU – Associate State Legislative Counsel – apply by July 17.
Follow this timeline:
The National Democratic Institute is seeking an Interactive Communications Manager to manage online activities, including website and use of web-based communications and other new media. Job requirements appear to focus more on communications/public affairs experience than technical proficiency.
The Director of Media Relations for the School Nutrition Association will develop media plan and strategies and provide input on public policy, programs and current issues. Old Town location, mid-$80k.
Brodeur Partners is looking for an Account Executive for their growing DC office who can manage strategic media relations programs, product launches, events, research, competitive analysis, press releases, presentations, case studies and product reviews.

So, please apply for and snag this Natural Resources Policy Analyst job there ($86k-$113k – job ID 090140 – apply by July 16) and let us know if our speculative admiration is spot on or misplaced.
Perhaps some of your friends will ask if you “get to take your work home with you” as Manager, Prescription Drug Policy for the Pew Charitable Trusts.
