About the role

Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA) is seeking a Legislative Correspondent to cover health, education, labor, and pensions issues. Primary duties include processing incoming mail and drafting outgoing constituent mail, with opportunities to meet stakeholders, conduct research, and assist staff on a small policy portfolio. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and motivated, with prior Capitol Hill experience and a public policy background preferred.

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.
