- Strong writing and presentation skills, including distilling complex research for senior, non-technical audiences
- 8+ years of professional experience in political or public opinion research, ideally spanning multiple campaign cycles and policy environments
- Corporate public affairs experience, ideally in a highly scrutinized or regulated industry
