Join FIRE's Team

FIRE is acutely attuned to ensuring all of our work stays on mission and that we are committed to sincere nonpartisanship, courageous advocacy, and an enduring belief in the power of free speech for good.

Staff is driven by intellectual curiosity and the desire to explore the unknown, seeking input from those with differing perspectives and experiences. This makes our work more robust, helps us identify new talent internally and partners externally, and leads to deeper understanding and learning.

We walk into every conversation with one another knowing that we are all on the same team, disagreements happen in good faith, and thoughtful feedback helps us improve and better advance FIRE's mission.

We are always thinking of ways to learn and improve. We constantly innovate and seek creative solutions. We are always up for a challenge. We put our all into supporting one another and work hard to advance FIRE’s mission.

Your health makes us happy. FIRE provides access to a free nutritionist, gym memberships, and reimbursements for getting fit.

We not only care about our employees' health, but their families too. We provide a comprehensive insurance package that includes 100% employer paid- medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for our employees.

We know healthcare and dependent care expenses can be costly. For that reason, we offer an FSA match that allows you to use pre-tax dollars on eligible healthcare and dependent care expenses.

Where better to defend the First Amendment than from our Philadelphia or Washington, D.C., office — the birthplace of liberty and the capital of our country. Our views are unparalleled, our offices are state-of-the-art, and the restaurant and culture scenes are top-notch.

We’re serious about work-life balance. That’s why we provide a seriously generous PTO and sick time policy. Rest and relax when you need to, and use your free time to unwind, explore, and adventure.

Taking time to give back is important! FIRE offers paid time off for volunteering and lots of opportunities to make a difference.

Time away from work is important for you and your growing family. We have a generous parental leave policy that gives parents the opportunity to spend time with their new bundle of joy.

Planning for your future? FIRE can help. We offer a 403(b) retirement plan that provides an employer matching contribution, dollar for dollar, up to 6% of your base salary. To top it off, these contributions are immediately vested!

We believe it’s important to strike a balance between flexibility and collaboration, that’s why we encourage our team to partake in a hybrid work schedule, with a mix of in-the-office and remote work. Customize your workweek to best suit you.

Are you a morning person? Maybe you prefer to head into the office a bit later? Many staffers qualify for a flextime plan so your working hours can better suit your life.

FIRE values professional development and the opportunity to enhance your skill set. We want you to learn and grow with us. We offer lunch & learns; we cover the costs for all continuing legal education; and we issue course reimbursements for relevant professional development opportunities.

Work hard. Play hard. There is no shortage of out-of-the-office fun here at FIRE! We host monthly happy hours, “bagel Thursdays,” staff retreats, and more. We value spending time with our team and celebrating their successes!

Commuting to work? We’ve got you covered. FIRE offers the opportunity to use pre-taxed dollars to put toward your commute.

We recognize that life can be challenging both personally and professionally. Our EAP gives employees and their loved ones access to help when they need it most. Our program offers 24/7 access to confidential counseling sessions, webinars, resources, and more!
