Careers

Build a career where the work matters.

The work we do at RFA matters—and so do the people who do it. We’re a bipartisan team that takes on some of the most complex policy and regulatory challenges in Washington, and we’re always interested in connecting with talented people who want to do this work at the highest level. Whether you’re an experienced government affairs professional, a Hill or agency veteran, or early in your career and looking to grow, RFA is a place where careers are built.

Why Build a Career at RFA

Real work, from day one.

RFA isn’t a place where junior staff sit on the sidelines. Our team is lean by design, which means everyone—from analysts to partners—works directly on client issues, sits in on the conversations that matter, and contributes to the strategy from the start.

Bipartisan by design.

Our team includes professionals who have worked on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill and across federal agencies. That mix isn’t just good for clients—it’s what makes RFA an unusually rich place to learn, debate, and grow.

A firm that invests in its people.

RFA’s senior leadership is committed to the development of every member of the team. That means real mentorship, meaningful feedback, and the kind of long-term investment in careers that’s reflected in how long our people tend to stay.

Work that matters.

The policy issues RFA works on—financial services, technology, energy, tax—shape the economy and affect millions of people. Our team takes that responsibility seriously, and we look for colleagues who do too.

Who We Look For

RFA hires for substance, judgment, and character. The specifics of any given role vary, but across the firm we look for people who:

Have a genuine interest in policy and how Washington actually works
Communicate clearly in writing and in the room
Take ownership of their work and follow through
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity, competing priorities, and high-stakes deadlines
Approach colleagues, clients, and policymakers across the political spectrum with respect and professionalism

Hill, agency, or relevant private-sector experience is valued for many roles, but it isn’t a prerequisite. Strong candidates from a range of backgrounds have built successful careers at RFA.
