Job Description
Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.
Americans for Prosperity is part of the Stand Together philanthropic community.
We are looking for a Sr. Administrative Assistant to join Americans for Prosperity (AFP). We need a quick-thinking collaborator to support multiple leaders within the AFP policy team. Our goals are significant, and our organization moves quickly. We will tap into your problem-solving and organizational skills every day and look to you to help the leaders you support. You’ll support the team in making effective decisions about how they prioritize their time while ensuring steady progress and forward momentum.
