📋 Description

• Develop the core arguments, analyses, policy reports, and narratives that help inform regulators and support a pro-innovation policy environment. You will translate complex policy and geopolitical trends into actionable business strategies and clear messaging frameworks. This includes drafting high-stakes speeches, executive talking points, and substantive policy reports. • Bring our policy narrative to life by conceptualizing, curating, and running high-impact policy events from start to finish. Whether it is an immersive technical briefing for regulators or an exclusive roundtable on AI security, you will own the end-to-end execution to build trust with key decision-makers. • Serve as the crucial bridge between our technical teams and government stakeholders. You must deeply understand the AI technology landscape, ranging from model weights and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to data sovereignty and cloud architecture, and translate that research into crisp, resonant content and visual assets. • Take ownership of drafting, refining, and polishing external materials. You will ensure our executives and policy leaders are armed with visually polished decks, scripted remarks, localized narratives, and culturally fluent talking points when engaging on global public platforms. • Act as the strategic anchor between the GAPP team and traditional PR. You will arm the external communications team with the right messaging architectures and risk mitigation strategies so they can effectively execute media campaigns, while you own the longer-term policy communications work streams. • Proactively assess how global AI policy proposals and regulatory frameworks impact our technology. You will identify reputational risks and establish thoughtful messaging strategies to address sensitive policy inquiries regarding security, open-source models, and copyright.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of professional experience in public affairs, policy marketing, strategic communications, or government relations within a technology company or government agency. • A proven track record of writing compelling speeches, op-eds, policy papers, and executive presentations that synthesize complex technical and economic concepts for high-level audiences. • Hands-on experience designing and flawlessly executing policy-focused events, VIP briefings, and roundtables that drive measurable shifts in stakeholder perception. • A strong foundational understanding of enterprise AI, generative models, cloud infrastructure, and the current global regulatory environment (e.g., EU AI Act, global safety standards). You are entirely comfortable discussing technical trade-offs with engineers and translating them into policy arguments. • The ability to seamlessly partner with and influence colleagues across global affairs, legal, AI research, and sales teams, ensuring we engage policymakers with a unified approach. • A strong bias for action, the intellectual flexibility to manage fast-moving campaigns, and the operational rigor to define a new public affairs function in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.

🏖️ Benefits

• A weekly lunch stipend of $75/£75 or equivalent in your local currency for lunch. • Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health. • RRSP matching, 401K, Pension Scheme. • 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months, for either parent. • Annual enrichment benefits: • Arts & culture, fitness/wellness, quality time, and a workspace improvement credit. • Education & learning stipend for conferences, courses, and coaching. • 6 weeks of paid vacation (30 working days!) • Budget for traveling to other offices if you are remote, plus an annual company offsite.
