Job Description
CDM is hiring a smart, driven, and intellectually curious team member to help us decode the chaos and build strategic narratives that matter. This is a hybrid role with a strong emphasis on research and strategy, paired with real-world communications execution. You’ll dive deep into policy topics, information integrity, emerging technologies, and the shifting dynamics of political and cultural power – and help translate those insights into compelling communications, briefs, events, and campaigns. We don’t do traditional job descriptions because we’re not a traditional company. But if you’re the kind of person who reads the news, questions everything, and figures stuff out faster than anyone else in the room – keep reading.
What You’ll Do - Track and analyze key cultural, political, and policy trends – from climate to technology to democracy to industrial policy
- Write high-quality research briefs, memos, and strategic recommendations
- Draft and edit articles, one-pagers, and communications for internal and external use
- Help design and execute events that convene business, political, and cultural leaders
- Support multimedia content or podcast prep
- Keep operations running smoothly – manage calendars, track invoices, and support logistics as needed
Who You Are - A sharp writer and clear thinker who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguity-filled environments
- Insatiably curious about politics, economics, sustainability, and how narratives shape power
- Comfortable toggling between research and execution – you can think big and get things done
- Confident working directly with senior leaders and external stakeholders
- Bonus if you’ve worked on comms campaigns, media production, research projects, or policy events
Requirements - Bachelor’s degree (required)
- 1–3 years of relevant work experience preferred
- Writing sample required
- Highly organized and detail-oriented
- Strong critical thinking and communication skills
- Flexibility to travel or work non-traditional hours occasionally
Benefits - 401(k)
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Flexible hybrid work environment
- Mentorship and rapid growth potential
