The Program Officer supervises Center fellows and contributes to written content for Meridian’s website and social media platforms.

This is a mid-level position with room to grow into a senior role. The program officer designs and executes a series of convening programs for foreign diplomats to engage with the U.S. public and private sectors. This includes arranging briefings with members of the Administration and Congress as well as building out thematic programs in collaboration with our corporate partners on topics such as emerging technology, energy transition, climate change, global health, etc. A.I. and cyber security will be two areas of focus this year so background or interest in those areas is a plus.
