Bipartisan Policy Center .

Founded in 2007 by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole, and George Mitchell, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is a leading nonprofit organization that drives principled solutions through rigorous analysis, reasoned negotiation, and respectful dialogue. By bringing together Republicans and Democrats—and providing them with the space, policy insights, and evidence‑based research needed to negotiate in good faith—BPC helps turn legislators’ best ideas into passable, durable laws.

BPC’s Health Policy Program advances bipartisan policy solutions to build a more cost‑effective, evidence‑based health care system and to improve population health. We work to strengthen and sustain Medicare and Medicaid, accelerate the shift toward value, address inefficiencies and misaligned incentives, and responsibly leverage technology and innovation.

BPC is seeking a Senior Policy Analyst to help lead health care affordability initiatives for BPC’s Health Policy Program. The Senior Policy Analyst will work closely with team members to develop pragmatic, bipartisan policy solutions that advance health care affordability by tackling the key drivers of high health care costs.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the federal policy landscape surrounding prescription drug pricing, Medicare’s drug price negotiation program, international reference pricing reforms, biologics and generics, and high‑value, high‑cost GLP‑1 drugs. Experience in area such as prescription drug policy and Medicare Advantage payment policy is preferred.
