Job Description

Speechwriter

Salary Range: $85,000-$110,000

About the Job:

The State of New York’s Executive Chamber (Office of the Governor) has an immediate opening for an accomplished wordsmith to join the speechwriting team for Governor Kathy Hochul. We are looking for a writer with flair and style, who can absorb detailed government policy, inject it with emotion, and turn it into compelling, effortless prose. Gov. Hochul has a bold vision for New York’s future – and the qualified candidate will have a strong grasp of the type of persuasive language needed to rally support for the policies that will make it real.

The ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, under tight deadlines, is essential—as is an understanding of government and politics. Past experience writing speeches for a high-level principal is preferred but not a requisite for the right candidate who has a proven track record in another writing-forward field (such as journalism) and is willing to learn as they go.

Responsibilities will Include:

  • Draft speeches, talking points, scripts, and other related materials.
  • Actively collaborate with policy makers and senior government officials to ensure message cohesion and accuracy.
  • Conduct research to support and strengthen prepared remarks.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree and 3 years of professional experience in a writing-intensive field, including published work or prepared remarks for a high-level principle.

Preferred Skills:

  • Superior written and verbal communication skills.
  • Punctuality, time management, and attention to detail.
  • Exceptional organizational and research skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and high-pressure situations.
  • Experience and comfort working in a deadline-driven environment.
