KAP 2026-2027 - Legal Policy Analyst - Independent Women

The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals with a drive to tackle our country’s most pressing challenges in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips associates with the tools, mindsets, and community to succeed as social entrepreneurs—individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice. Associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at one of our many partner organizations the rest of the week. Our curriculum is designed to supercharge your development and equip you for long-term success as you seek to have an impact on the problems that prevent people from realizing their potential.   Who We Are Independent Women's trusted experts, analysis, and data enable us to drive informed conversations to build support for better policy solutions. We are different, in that we successfully talk to not only the conservative base, but to centrist women independents, and Millennials/Gen Z helping them embrace policies and approaches that improve lives.   IW operates as a virtual office. While we maintain regular working hours, our virtual office means staff spends more time getting things done and less time sitting in traffic. Still, we understand the importance of personal relationships, which is why we remain in constant daily communication and hold regular staff and department calls.   Job Summary Independent Women's Legal Policy Analyst supports the work of the Independent Women’s Law Center and broader policy team by tracking, analyzing, and translating legal and regulatory developments.

She should be a self-starter who is detail- and results-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.   With hard work, IW’s Legal Policy Analyst could gain significant exposure to legal and policy work, develop specialized expertise, build relationships across policy and legal networks, and grow into a more senior role. Initially, the role is focused on supporting the Law Center and IW’s policy experts.
