NetChoice is a trade association that works to make the internet safe for free expression and free enterprise.
For over two decades, NetChoice has advocated on the pressing tech issues of the day, including online speech, kids’ online safety, artificial intelligence, data privacy, competition, and data centers. We have a reputation for moving fast and taking clear positions, both in the press and in the courts, where NetChoice has challenged state laws restricting online speech all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Basic Function of the Position:
The Public Affairs Coordinator will help to expand NetChoice’s marketing, digital, design, video, and events capabilities and support our work with current and prospective members.

- Coordinate with member relations staff to support various members’ priority issues/needs and proactively design public affairs collateral.
