  • Moderate noise (e.g., from computers, phones, printers, and light traffic) is expected.
  • Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential responsibilities associated with this position.

Qualifications
  • A bachelor's degree (required)
  • 0-2 years of previous full-time work experience is required; previous internship or work experience in fundraising or at a nonprofit (a plus, but not required)
  • An interest in public policy and AEI's mission
  • The ability to work closely on a team while independently managing multiple responsibilities
  • Exceptionally strong oral and written communication skills
  • The ability to meet tight deadlines, multitask, and prioritize
  • Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • High proficiency in Microsoft Office (including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
  • Experience with customer relationship management and marketing software, especially Salesforce or HubSpot (a plus)
  • Experience with design, Adobe products, or branding (a plus)

Benefits
AEI offers generous benefits, including 18 days of paid leave (15 days of paid annual leave and three personal days or floating holidays); 12 days of paid sick leave; paid family leave; medical and dental coverage, in addition to a health savings account; medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; a tuition assistance program of up to $5,200; life and disability insurance at no cost to employees; and a 403(b) retirement plan with a contribution from AEI, among other benefits.
