They strive to become policy experts in their area of Ohio government, including Education, Health Care, Tax Policy, Criminal Justice, Economic Development, and local government relations, as well as other areas of state government. Analysts communicate policy and budget information to legislators, agency staff, and other audiences through written documents, briefing meetings, and testimony before legislative committees. LBO staff work independently, as team leaders, and team members, depending on project requirements. At times, they generate their own research agenda in addition to fulfilling legislators research requests. They serve as liaisons to General Assembly committees, and work on internal strategic planning and work-product committees.
All positions are full-time.
The office work cycle follows the Ohio General Assembly s schedule and tends to be at its heaviest January through June of each year. Overtime is possible during this time period, and virtually guaranteed during January through June of each odd-numbered year as the Legislature reviews and enacts the state s biennial operating budgets. We offer paid training, and opportunities to develop or expand your policy and budget expertise, and computer skills. In addition, our offices are accessible for people with disabilities.
