About the role

American Forest & Paper Association is seeking an experienced advocacy professional in Washington, DC to lead policy efforts across energy, environment, and manufacturing. You will work on strategic initiatives, manage a portfolio of federal issues, and collaborate with multiple AF&PA departments and coalitions. The role requires building relationships with congressional staff, delivering education on industry accomplishments, and ensuring ethical standards as a registered lobbyist.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
