Web Manager at Hope Street Group
Description
About Us
Hope Street Group is a new generation of leaders dedicated to building an Opportunity Economy, where anyone who works hard and invests in themselves has the opportunity to succeed and our nation prospers as result.
We have built Policy 2.0, a powerful way of thinking and acting in the policy arena, bringing new talent and tools to traditionally partisan debates. We convene leaders from business, government, and civil society to develop action plans that expand economic opportunity. Our web platform enables reform-minded professionals, policymakers and practitioners to collaborate on policy ideas and realize them in partnership with decision-makers.
Since our launch in 2003, Hope Street Group’s innovative model has made a real impact on policy. Though events like our annual Colloquia and Bipartisan Working Groups in education and health care, Hope Street Group has built an outstanding network of leaders across political and other boundaries. Also, Hope Street Group has been engaged actively in national policy discussions and our policies have been adopted in both the 2004 and 2008 Presidential Campaigns, and have been incorporated the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Our work to build "Health Care Agenda for an Opportunity Economy," has produced breakthrough agreement among traditionally opposed partners in the health care industry.
As a rapidly growing, entrepreneurial organization, we seek to hire someone who shares our values and enjoys a fast-paced, collaborative, and ambitious work environment.
