Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF)

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF)—the world’s top-ranked think tank for science and technology policy—seeks a project director to lead and manage ITIF’s work on antitrust policy. This is a full-time, permanent position.

ITIF launched its Schumpeter Project on Competition Policy to fill a void in the policy debate over antitrust in the digital economy: The Schumpeterian perspective represents a new intellectual framework for practical antitrust reforms that enable a dynamic interplay between competition and innovation—recognizing, for example, that market power enables investments in R&D, which in turn drive innovation, which in turn drives competition.

Reporting directly to ITIF’s president, the successful project director will be a skilled communicator; an effective manager of people and projects; and a creative thought leader, with a deep understanding of antitrust policy, economics, and the policymaking arenas in Washington and Brussels. The director will manage a team of three analysts, charting and leading the development of a body of policy-relevant research and event programming. The director also will conduct their own original research; author reports, blog posts, and op-eds; and engage with policymakers, the press, and other policy influencers in meetings, interviews, and public speaking engagements.
