Who you are

You have extensive experience in government relations, ideally with a focus on technology and national security — you've successfully navigated complex political landscapes and built trusted relationships with key stakeholders. Your ability to articulate policy positions with clarity and credibility sets you apart as a leader in this field.

You understand the dynamics of AI governance and its implications for national competitiveness and security — your insights into the intersection of technology and policy enable you to translate complex issues into strategic advantages for your organization. You thrive in high-stakes environments and are adept at managing multiple priorities while maintaining a clear focus on your objectives.

Your communication skills are exceptional — you can engage effectively with senior-level officials and articulate the company's vision and policy positions in a compelling manner. You are a strategic thinker who can anticipate challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of AI and technology policy.

You are passionate about the role of technology in shaping the future — you stay informed about trends in AI, energy, and infrastructure, and you are committed to advocating for policies that foster innovation and economic growth. You believe in the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors to achieve shared goals.

Desirable
