A prominent bipartisan public policy team is seeking a Policy Advisor with 5+ years of experience in energy policy and federal legislative processes. This is an exciting opportunity for a mid-career professional to play a central role in shaping energy policy outcomes for sophisticated corporate and institutional clients.

• Collaborate with attorneys and policy professionals to address the legal and regulatory dimensions of energy strategy

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience working in energy policy, legislation, or federal affairs

• Capitol Hill experience strongly preferred, particularly with committees of jurisdiction (e.g., House/Senate Energy Committees, Appropriations, etc.)

• Experience at an executive branch agency (e.g., DOE, FERC, EPA) is also highly valued and may substitute for Hill work

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (JD, MPP, or similar) preferred

• Excellent writing, research, and verbal communication skills

• Team-oriented, client-focused, and eager to work on impactful public policy matters

Why This Role?
You’ll join a collaborative, mission-driven lobbying and policy team embedded in a full-service law firm—giving you the platform to advocate effectively on both policy and regulatory fronts. With access to high-profile clients, complex challenges, and bipartisan networks, this role offers the chance to shape the future of energy policy from a place of influence and integrity.
