I’m looking for a new member of the TPM team to work directly with me on a new project we’re launching. I don’t want to go into great detail about the project in this post. But I can give you a pretty good sense of the sort of person we are looking for, the kind of knowledge and professional experience required. Are you a DC based journalist or a congressional staffer interested in a cool new opportunity? If so, join me after the jump for some more details. And if you’re intrigued, drop me a line to discuss.

We are looking for someone who currently works in Washington, DC and would work out of our Washington DC office. The key qualification for the job is to have a deep familiarity with the professional world of Democratic politics in Washington. That means the inner workings of Capitol Hill, the major activist groups, the more political oriented think tanks, the PR agencies and the K Street lobby shops. There’s obviously more that goes on in all these places than any one person can ever be fully on top of. But I’m looking for someone who knows that world and has been immersed in it.

I could see a few different professional backgrounds fitting for what I have in mind. The most obvious is a journalist. But I think a congressional staffer looking for a new and exciting challenge could be just as good a fit, a staffer with a journalistic bent. Whether you’re a journalist or staffer, I’d be looking for 5 to 10 years professional experience. This is something very new and I’d be looking to this person to play the key role in building it. So I think the fit will have as much to do with the particular person, their unique mix of experiences, interests and qualifications as the kind of work they’re coming out of. We’d offer a solid salary and a full array of job benefits that all our employees get.

If you fit the description above and you’d like to hear more, please drop me a line at our main comments email address. It’s linked directly under the TPM logo at the top left of the page. Send me a resume and anything else you’d like to share in an informal email. Use the subject line: “Job App: New DC Gig”.
