Descrizione del lavoro

The incoming Chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee seeks an attorney to lead the Committee’s work on government ethics and anti-corruption legislation and to participate in the Committee’s oversight and investigations work.

The Counsel develops, drafts, and manages legislation on corruption, conflicts of interest, financial disclosure, lobbying and foreign influence, and related accountability measures; prepares members for hearings, markups, and floor activity; drafts memoranda; and works with other offices and outside stakeholders to build support for the Chair’s agenda. The Counsel may also work on investigations.

Qualified candidates will have a J.D. and experience in government ethics, public integrity, or anti-corruption, whether at a federal agency, inspector general’s office, Department of Justice, congressional committee, watchdog organization, or law firm. Candidates should have a strong command of the law governing public integrity — for example, the federal conflict-of-interest and financial disclosure regime, the Hatch Act, lobbying disclosure and foreign influence, or the Emoluments Clauses — and an interest in developing new accountability tools. Experience drafting legislation or regulations and experience with investigations are assets but not required.

The right candidate will identify and develop reform opportunities without waiting to be asked.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. This office is an equal opportunity employer; diverse candidates are encouraged to apply.
