- Connect policy developments to communications. Understand which proposals and congressional actions could affect the business or generate coverage. Turn that into clear guidance for leadership, reporter outreach, and executive preparation.

- Handle the daily execution. Draft responses, brief reporters, prepare executives, follow...
