Job Description
A Democratic New Jersey Congressman seeks a highly organized, good-humored, hard-working Scheduler to develop, coordinate, and manage all aspects of the Member’s daily and long-term schedule and logistics in DC, NJ, as well as national travel. The DC Scheduler will report to the Chief of Staff and work closely with the Member, DC staff, and District Office staff, including a district-based scheduler responsible for in-district scheduling.
This is not an entry-level role; prior scheduling experience is preferred. Salary and title commensurate with experience. This position is based in Washington, D.C., with occasional travel to the district as needed. This position requires flexibility to work long hours and be responsive to urgent scheduling needs, including on nights and weekends.
Responsibilities include tracking, evaluating, and responding to all invitations and scheduling requests, coordinating travel for the Member, compiling the Congressman’s nightly briefing materials, and managing office operations, including but not limited to facilitating Member meetings and calls, coordinating internal and external events, assisting with onboarding and training for staff and interns, and other duties and special projects as assigned. Responsibilities also include providing staffing support.
Applicants must possess a valid drivers’ license and strong driving skills. Having a car is not required.
Strong candidates will be creative problem solvers and self-starters who thrive at managing cross-departmental projects with tight deadlines. They will demonstrate excellent attention to detail, communicate succinctly and effectively, and embrace performance-related feedback. The position requires the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once, stay calm under pressure, and exercise sound judgement to make quick decisions.
Candidates of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, disability, military status, age, marital status, or parental status.
Candidates should submit a resume, cover letter, and three references (including name, title and organization, phone number, email, and relationship to the candidate) to Jobs@mail.house.gov with the following subject line: “Full Name – DC Scheduler.”
