About the role

You will have spent your career inside the federal financial-crimes mission - at an agency like the FBI, DOJ, Treasury, or within the intelligence community - and built the kind of trusted senior relationships that can't be cold-called into existence.
At Elliptic, you'll put that network to work in both directions: opening doors for our government and enterprise businesses, lending operational credibility to commercial engagements, and representing the voice of the agency practitioner inside the company.
Together you form the government-facing spine of Elliptic's U.S. presence.

Develop and maintain trusted relationships with senior agency leadership, industry experts, and legislative stakeholders.
Contribute to institutional positioning strategies that reinforce Elliptic's credibility with government partners.
Support product development strategy and roadmap execution, serving as an internal advocate for critical agency needs.
Partner with the Director of Strategic Engagement on account strategy for Tier 1 government relationships, ensuring relationship-building and mission delivery reinforce each other.

Strong understanding of digital assets, blockchain-intelligence data and operational use cases.
10+ years of experience within the federal law enforcement, intelligence, defense or regulatory communities, with substantial time leading or supporting financial-crimes or financial-intelligence operations - digital-assets exposure strongly preferred.
A deep, active network of trusted senior relationships across the federal financial-crimes community (e.g., DOJ, FBI, Treasury/FinCEN, IC), and a track record of putting that network to work across the public/private divide.
Deep understanding of the operational mission needs of law enforcement, intelligence, defense and regulatory agencies, and of financial crime with a particular focus on digital assets.
Demonstrated public-affairs and communications acumen
comfortable representing organisations in press-sensitive, agency-facing, legislative and crisis-management contexts.
Executive presence and cross-sector credibility - equally at home advising an agency executive, supporting a commercial pursuit, and speaking on a conference stage.
Comfort operating commercially: this role supports revenue outcomes in both the government and enterprise businesses, and you should relish that rather than tolerate it.
How we work:
Hybrid working: The option to work from almost anywhere for up to 90 days per year.
Remote Work Budget: $650 budget to set up your home office space.

Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage through a range of providers (including Tufts, Kaiser, Aetna, UHC, and Blue Shield of CA) with generous premium contributions for you and your dependents.
Mental Health: Full access to Spill mental health support.
We provide eligible employees, regardless of gender or whether they become a parent by birth or adoption, 16 weeks fully-paid leave.

At Elliptic, we believe cryptocurrency will play a huge role in the future of value transfer, and we care deeply about helping to build this future.
We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace, so we welcome applications from everyone, even if you may not think you fit all of the requirements of our roles.

We know Diversity and Inclusion is much deeper than just hiring, but it's important for us to mention it here.
