Human Resources Generalist
About the Company
Third Way is a national think tank that champions modern center-left ideas. Their work is grounded in the mainstream American values of opportunity, freedom, and security. But they identify as center-left, because they see that space in U.S. politics as offering the only real path for advancing those ideals in the century ahead.
Their agenda is ambitious, aspirational, and actionable. It’s built on the bedrock belief that for political movements to succeed in our political system, they must relentlessly re-imagine their policies, strategies, and coalitions. They are fighting for opportunity, so everyone has the chance to earn a good life; progress on social issues, so all have the freedom to live the lives they choose; and security, so we are protected from 21st century global threats.
Their competitive advantage lies in high-impact advocacy campaigns that combine rigorous policy research with a unique and incisive understanding of the vast American middle—the people who ultimately decide majorities and provide mandates for change. They design their work to persuade elected officials, intellectuals, advocates, the media, and others with political influence.
