Job Description
Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (D-VA-04) seeks a proactive, dependable, and detail-oriented staff assistant for the Washington, DC office.
This position plays an invaluable role in office operations and reports directly to the Chief of Staff. Responsibilities include serving as the primary point of contact in the front office, managing the office’s DC internship program, coordinating tour and flag requests, answering phones, assisting the Chief of Staff and Director of Operations with office operations, driving the Member, and other duties as assigned.
