Full job description
Auto req ID: 63027 Title: Government Affairs Associate (US-DC) Job Function: Legal Location: Remote - District of Columbia Company: Harley-Davidson Motor Company Full or Part-Time: Full Time
In 1903, out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four young men lit a cultural wildfire that would grow and spread across geographies and generations. Their innovation and imagination for what was possible on two wheels sparked a transportation revolution that would make Harley-Davidson the most recognizable motorcycle brand in the world. Today, we continue to define motorcycle culture, evoking soul-stirring emotion reflected in every product and experience we deliver - like we have for well over a century and will for generations to come. Are you ready to ride with us?
