KAP 2026-2027 - Communications Manager - Beacon Center

About the Organization:
The Beacon Center is Tennessee’s premier free-market public policy organization. Beacon is pound-for-pound the most effective and efficient state-level think tank on the planet. With a staff of just 11, Beacon has achieved remarkable policy and legal victories that have empowered Tennesseans to reclaim and protect their freedoms. Among our accomplishments, we have:

• Led the effort to repeal the state death tax and Hall Income Tax, becoming just the second state in history to eliminate an income tax. These tax cuts have cumulatively saved taxpayers more than $3 billion to date.
• Successfully advocated to amend the Tennessee Constitution to make right-to-work a constitutional right.
• Enacted the nation’s fourth education savings account program.
• Advanced free market healthcare reforms, including direct primary care, an overhaul of Tennessee’s certificate of need laws, Medicaid work requirements, and Right to Try.
• Helped usher in the nation’s first Right to Earn a Living Act to bring about occupational licensing reform, and successfully repealed multiple licensing laws, resulting in Tennessee leading the nation in the reduction of licensing barriers over the past five years.

About the Role:
We’re not done achieving victory for our fellow Tennesseans. We’re looking for an energetic and liberty-minded Communications Manager to help us spread the message of freedom and free enterprise far and wide. Our Communications Manager must be entrepreneurial and results-oriented, and be a strong communicator, writer, project manager, and collaborator. He or she should be ideologically aligned. We believe that the principles of free markets, individual liberty, and limited government are the foundation of a prosperous and opportunity-laden society, and he or she should, too.

Beacon is headquartered in Nashville, and team members based locally have the option to work from our office or in a hybrid arrangement. While Nashville is our preferred location, we are open to candidates based anywhere in the United States who wish to work fully remotely. Candidates working remotely should expect to travel to Nashville periodically for team meetings and events.

We provide generous benefits and place a huge emphasis on a strong culture and positive work environment. Beacon has been recognized among Nashville’s “Best Places to Work.”
