The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity.
CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states. It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and others in communities that continue to face systemic barriers to opportunity. CBPP promotes policies that will build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term. CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen inequities, and worsen health outcomes.
CBPP seeks a Senior Editor to collaborate with policy experts to produce written products that advance the Center’s policy goals. The Senior Editor will work closely with policy staff to distill complex concepts into clear, compelling language and visuals for papers, blog posts, statements, and other documents, ranging from restructuring content to line editing and copy editing. The Senior Editor will also manage projects for publication, coordinating project timelines as well as contributions and review by policy and research staff, Communications team members, and others within the organization. With other members of the editorial team, the Senior Editor will support CBPP’s efforts to center and advance equity, inclusion, and justice in our written products.
The Senior Editor role offers an opportunity for a talented communications professional to contribute to products that shape the news and public debate and advance policies that build opportunity, promote equity, and reduce poverty. The ideal candidate will have excellent written communication and project management skills, understanding of domestic policy, experience communicating about intersectional issues of identity and public policy as well as the impact of structural racism and other inequities, and enthusiasm for working to advance CBPP’s mission.
