position description

TPA is seeking a Senior Tech Fellow to further the organization’s research, analysis, and advocacy on technology policy issues with direct implications for taxpayers. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in tech policy, a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility and limited government, and the ability to translate complex technical issues into compelling policy arguments and public communications. This is a high-visibility role that will shape TPA’s voice on some of the most consequential technology debates of our time. This is not an entry-level position.

Key responsibilities:

• Conduct original research on emerging technology issues including artificial intelligence, algorithmic systems, the infrastructure of the digital economy, and data governance, translating complex technical concepts for legislative and public audiences.
• Produce high-quality reports, op-eds, blogs, policy briefs, and one-pagers that advance the organization’s mission and influence public discourse.
• Monitor legislative, regulatory, and industry developments and assess their implications for TPA’s focus areas.
• Represent the organization in congressional briefings, state legislative hearings, regulatory comment processes, and interagency meetings.
• Develop policy recommendations and advocacy positions grounded in rigorous technical and legal analysis.
• Represent TPA at policy briefings, coalition meetings, and relevant events as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in public policy, political science, economics, or a related field.
• 4-8 years of experience in advocacy, research, or policy in the tech sector, ideally within a nonprofit, think tank, or government setting.
• Strong interest in tech policy, artificial intelligence, and data privacy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex policy issues clearly and concisely.
• Strong research and analytical skills, including the ability to track and interpret legislation and regulatory developments.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced policy environment.

This position is remote on Fridays, and in-person at our Washington D.C. office Monday-Thursday. TPA offers medical and dental insurance coverage, and a generous and flexible PTO policy.
