Counsel/Professional Staff Member

The Committee on Oversight and Accountability Democratic staff seeks a counsel or professional staff member to assist with the Committee’s oversight and investigations work. 

Exceptional writing and research skills, sound political judgment, and the ability to work closely and collaboratively with other congressional offices and stakeholders are essential. 

Responsibilities include preparing for and staffing hearings and briefings; drafting statements, memos, letters and other materials; assisting with the Committee’s investigative and oversight work, including preparing for transcribed interviews and depositions; and serving as a resource for Democratic Members and staff on matters within the Committee’s jurisdiction. 

All candidates should possess superior organizational and communication skills; excellent attention to detail; the capacity to articulate technical and policy issues clearly and concisely; and the ability to meet deadlines and multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment. 

This is not an entry-level position. Ideal candidates will have at least two years of relevant professional experience. Previous Capitol Hill or legal experience, and experience with investigations or oversight is preferred. 

The Oversight Committee is committed to, and benefits from, a diverse staff, and candidates of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
