Since 2016, Across the Aisle™ — a nonpartisan, non‑profit 501(c)(3) organization — has been providing young Americans (ages 14 to 35) with opportunities to learn, lead, and find bipartisan solutions to our country’s biggest challenges.

We work with experts from both sides of the aisle to empower voters with reliable facts and a framework to make their own informed decisions. Our leadership programs identify and prepare students and early‑career professionals from both parties for decision‑making positions on Capitol Hill, in the executive branch, and in other public service roles. Our core policy areas include fiscal issues such as the national debt and the federal budget, as well as entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

Across the Aisle™ is hiring a Senior Associate, Alumni for its Answer the Call™ program to help us engage, educate, and empower the next generation of public policy leaders. The Director will manage a growing team of HQ‑based staff, vendors, and remote consultants and will serve a program cohort of over 200 undergraduates and more than 600 alumni.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of producing alumni engagement programs from concept through execution, scaling operations to serve a national cohort, managing a young and diverse group of alumni, juggling multiple projects at once, and solving problems on the fly.

This job is perfect for someone who cares deeply about our country’s future, enjoys helping emerging leaders reach their potential, and wants to provide pathways to public service for young Americans.

Strong preference will be given to candidates who:

• Are veterans and/or have experience providing continuing education or leadership training to veterans and/or members of the armed forces.
• Have experience with colleges or universities, nonprofits, or similar institutions.

• Assist with creating and rolling out the organization’s Alumni program, focusing on continuing policy education and professional development opportunities.

• 3+ years of experience in higher education, alumni program management, or a closely related field.
• Substantial knowledge of program development, alumni affairs management, event planning logistics, and onsite staff management.
• Able to balance multiple projects simultaneously, delegate work effectively, meet deadlines, and work within established budgets.
