Job Description
Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (CT-03) is hiring a full-time Staff Assistant in her Washington, DC office to start in the beginning of September 2025. This role provides a unique entry level opportunity to work closely with a prominent Member of Congress. The staff assistant reports to the scheduler and chief of staff, and responsibilities include driving the Member, helping execute her daily schedule, providing logistical support for events and meetings, managing the front office and the internship program, coordinating tours and constituent requests, processing incoming phone calls, mail, and other inquiries, providing operational, administrative, and technology support for the office and staff, and performing other duties as assigned.
Applicants should be detail-oriented, proactive, calm under pressure, able to exercise discretion, eager to work in a fast-paced office, and willing to work flexible—and sometimes long—hours when the Member is in DC. Strong communication, logistical, interpersonal, and organizational skills are essential. Applicants must have a valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and should be comfortable driving in DC. Access to a personal car is preferred, although not required.
TO APPLY: please send a cover letter, resume, writing sample (maximum of 1-2 pages), and two reference contacts (name, title, email, phone, and relationship) in a single pdf file to Daniel.Robillard@mail.house.gov with the subject line “Staff Assistant: Your name (First/Last)” No calls or walk-ins, please. This office is an equal opportunity employer and encourages all qualified candidates to apply. Connecticut ties are a plus.
