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
