The posting

SentiLink https://www.sentilink.com/ helps institutions and protects customers by accurately resolving identities and flagging fraud risk. Each day, we verify more than 3 million identities, flagging 150k+ fraud attempts in the process. The problems we work on are challenging, and solving them takes deep domain expertise, rigorous analysis, and a willingness to dig into the details.

At SentiLink, you'll work alongside smart, highly collaborative colleagues who respect each other's time and judgment, take ownership, and follow through on their commitments. Together, we do truly meaningful work protecting the identities of innocent consumers and flagging the fraudsters attempting to exploit them.

We're well capitalized and growing quickly. We already serve 13 of the top 15 U.S. banks, we're expanding into new markets, and we're backed by Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin. We've been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 https://www.forbes.com/companies/sentilink/?list=fintech50 and as a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260330439998/en/SentiLink-Named-a-2026-FICO-Industry-Vanguard-Decision-Award-Winner-for-Leadership-in-Identity-Theft-Detection. We were also the first company to go live https://resources.sentilink.com/blog/sentilink-makes-history-as-first-ecbsv-provider with the electronic Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (eCBSV) service, and we've testified before the U.S. Congress https://resources.sentilink.com/media/dr.-david-maimons-congressional-testimony-on-emerging-fraud-threats-and-the-evolving-fraud-landscape on the future of identity.

We want SentiLink to be the best place you've ever worked. We offer generous benefits and support a range of working arrangements, from fully remote to in-office. We are a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India, and we meet in person regularly to build relationships. We have offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle (Bellevue), Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India.

ROLE:

SentiLink is expanding its government affairs work in Washington, DC and in a growing number of states, and we’re looking for a sharp, policy-savvy Government Affairs Manager to lead advocacy strategy with Congress, federal regulators, and industry coalitions, and to direct SentiLink’s full bench of state and federal lobbyists. In addition to advancing federal policy initiatives and direct lobbying, you’ll work closely with Public Sector sales, marketing/comms, and executive leadership to help shape the policy environment that supports SentiLink’s mission.

This role gives you real ownership: you’ll set the strategy and cadence for every contracted lobbyist we work with, in Washington and in the states, so our advocacy stays sharp and our team is better enabled and more effective when they walk into the room with the right people.

This role reports to the Head of Public Policy & External Affairs, and inherits a function with clear priorities and foundation already in place, with the expectation that you’ll expand it. It will require frequent in-person engagement with stakeholders across the DC area, including Capitol Hill (House and Senate, Republicans and Democrats), federal agencies, and industry events.

This role requires you to be based out of Washington, DC.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Lead day-to-day federal advocacy, building and maintaining relationships across Congressional offices in both parties and chambers, with particular depth on Financial Services/Banking, Ways and Means/Finance, and Appropriations committee staff.

- Direct SentiLink’s bench of contracted federal and state lobbyists and consultants, setting priorities and a regular cadence of engagement, and translating their work into the budget-cycle and procurement insight our Public Sector sellers need to close.

- Serve as a trusted resource on policy issues affecting identity verification, fraud prevention, and financial services, in direct support of Public Sector sales cycles (RFP language, identity standards, procurement timing).

- Lead engagement with trade associations and coalitions (RDA, ETA, CBA, ABA, and similar), managing SentiLink’s participation and extracting more value from existing memberships.

- Build a state-level ability to monitor and report on state legislative and regulatory developments on issues related to data brokers, privacy and identity.

- Prepare briefing materials and talking points for internal and external stakeholders, and represent SentiLink in meetings, hearings, roundtables, and industry events.

REQUIREMENTS:

- 4+ years of experience in public policy, government relations, or legislative affairs, ideally with a combination of time on Capitol Hill, at a trade association, or a regulated fintech/financial services environment.

- Working knowledge of federal legislative and regulatory processes, especially related to financial services or identity, and the ability to pick up state-level processes quickly.

- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills with bipartisan credibility. You've built (or are excited to build) working relationships across the aisle, House and Senate, not just within one party's orbit.

- Excellent writing and public speaking ability: comfortable drafting comment letters, testimony, and briefing memos, and representing SentiLink on a conference panel or in a room of policymakers with equal confidence.

- Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data.

- A proactive, self-starting mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.

- Genuine interest in going deep on fraud, identity, privacy and data policy. This is not a generalist policy seat; you'll be expected to develop real subject-matter depth quickly.

BONUS POINTS:

- Familiarity with state legislative tracking tools.

- Exposure to public sector sales cycles or government procurement.

- Background in identity verification, fraud prevention, or tech policy.

COMPENSATION:

150,000 - 190,000 year + equity + benefits

PERKS:

- Employer paid group health insurance for you and your dependents

- 401(k) plan with employer match (or equivalent for non US-based roles)

- Flexible paid time off

- Regular company-wide in-person events

- Home office stipend, and more!

CORPORATE VALUES:

- Follow Through

- Deep Understanding

- Whatever It Takes

- Do Something Smart

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
