Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way. 

Americans for Prosperity is part of the Stand Together philanthropic community. 

As the Deputy Director of State Government Affairs team, you will support and help execute the organization’s legislative strategy and policy outreach efforts across a portfolio of states. This position blends hands-on lobbying, policy expertise, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration, while serving as a key strategic partner and thought leader within the Government Affairs department.  

You will work closely with the State Government Affairs Director to advance AFP’s mission by driving policy outcomes, strengthening relationships with policymakers and partners (both internal and external), and supporting the development and effectiveness of the government affairs team.  
Our Values: Working at Stand Together is different from many other organizations. Our culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers our employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.
