We are seeking an experienced Permitting Implementation Fellow (or Senior Fellow) to lead EPIC’s work supporting State governments in permit streamlining for infrastructure, including (but not limited to) driving regulatory reform and managing the development of new digital tools for states. This role bridges the gap between policy innovation and organizational implementation, requiring an adept project manager who can navigate complex institutional bureaucracies and translate the priorities of States’ executive leadership into specific and actionable steps for both regulators and IT staff.

For at least their first 3 months, the Fellow (or Senior Fellow) will spend up to 100% of their time supporting a state governor’s office in mapping and reforming environmental permits that have been identified by the Governor’s team as an unreasonable obstacle to building housing and other critical infrastructure projects. The core of this position’s function is working with the EPIC team to quickly understand the highest impact opportunities for reform and then implementing these opportunities with the Governor’s team.

Longer term, the Fellow (or Senior Fellow) will help build out a broader team at EPIC that can support (at scale) more states and the federal government in implementing permitting reform strategies to speed up project deployment.
