Job Description

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.

You always start with the end goal in mind. While others get overwhelmed by the big picture, you're able to break down larger goals into timelines, tasks, and deadlines. You enjoy working with others to achieve a shared vision.
 
Does this sound like you? Apply today to join Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and our State Government Affairs (SGA) team as a Legislative Compliance Liaison.

Your attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to interpret complex legal requirements will contribute to our ongoing success and commitment to integrity.
 
This role offers candidates the opportunity to be a catalyst for change and to work closely with those at AFP who are at the heart of driving major policy change across the country. The Legislative Compliance Liaison will work hand-in-hand with these individuals to advance important principles like equal rights, mutual benefit, openness, and personal fulfillment.
