You have experience leading project teams and managing work streams while also serving in a key role on major projects.

You have a desire to learn and grow – both across industries and the broad corporate affairs field, including in issues advocacy, communications, grassroots campaigns, crisis management, and stakeholder communications.

  • Provide consistently high levels of client service through proactive account management, serving as a key contact to maintain and grow client relationships.
  • Implement comprehensive public affairs, communications, and policy advocacy strategies to address client issues and support their growth objectives.
  • Gather intelligence and develop insights on issues relevant to existing and prospective clients to enhance relationships and support business growth.

Qualifications:

  • At least 6-8 years of related experience in international public affairs, public policy initiatives, or campaigns, especially related to technology, trade, and clean energy regulatory issues.
  • Exceptional presentation, writing, and analytical skills, with the ability to write both strategically and creatively under tight deadlines.
  • Solid project management experience, including leading major accounts and overseeing successful project teams.
  • Demonstrated success in formulating and leading strategic thinking and engagements with external stakeholders.
  • Ability to translate technical policy and regulation for a business audience.
