    Description

    The Atlantic Council seeks a driven, self-directed, intellectually curious, and enterprising researcher, with writing, editing, research, organizational, and upward management skills to serve as Research Assistant to the President and CEO.

    Archival research experience is required, as the position demands long-term historical research work on a book project. Those with a background in journalism are especially encouraged to apply.

    This role requires experience writing and editing against tight deadlines, with a clear understanding of how to edit within the confines of a style guide.

    The position also demands excellent communication, organizational, and analytical skills.

    This may occasionally include work on the weekends and on evenings.


    This individual will also be expected to work closely with the President and CEO of a large, dynamic, and growing organization.

    As a result, this individual must have experience managing up, dealing with unanticipated schedule changes, and adapting quickly to dynamic schedules.


    Moreover, this individual must be a highly capable self-starter with a demonstrated aptitude for analytical thinking, exceptional writing, effective editing, and communication skills.

    They must also be comfortable working in an ever-changing environment while managing multiple projects as a core member of a collaborative, high-impact Executive Office team.

    Responsibilities Include:

    • Conduct research for book projects, speaking engagements, writing, and special projects as assigned, and place findings into a quickly digestible format for President and CEO.
    • Extensive work in archives and ability to read and apply primary source documents in German and English to the President and CEO's current book project.
    • Research and manage content and workflow for the President and CEO's newsletter, Inflection Points, and use entrepreneurial approaches to seeking new opportunities to expand thought leadership opportunities and brand.
    • Oversee the President and CEO's social media engagement while tracking key metrics and data to develop a strengthened online presence.
    • Other research and administrative duties, as necessary.
    Qualifications

    • Excellent analytical abilities and experience absorbing, condensing, and synthesizing large amounts of complex information into quickly digestible briefs.
    • Familiarity with archives and archival work.
    • Experience working with high-level individuals and managing work amidst a busy and rapidly changing schedule.
    • Ability to take on research assignments and write and edit quickly and clearly, with minimal supervision, against tight deadlines.
    • Ability to liaise between different programs and centers on short notice to ensure the best and most up-to-date information reaches the President and CEO.
