The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is quietly searching for a new general counsel and director of political operations, according to private communications reviewed by NOTUS.

A position description, marked “CONFIDENTIAL” and dated March 2026, was shared with at least one potential candidate by Allison Rosner, the managing director at the Washington executive recruitment firm Major, Lindsey & Africa, which AIPAC has hired to conduct the search.

The powerful pro-Israel advocacy group is looking for someone “capable of enabling assertive yet compliant political engagement while safeguarding the Organization against unnecessary legal or reputational risk,” according to the executive summary of the role.
