  • WHY THIS ROLE, AND WHY NOW The policy moment for this company is the largest one in a generation.

  • Build and maintain relationships with the policymakers, staffers, and operators whose decisions shape our market.
  • The instinct of a founder, not a staffer. You want to build a function from scratch, not inherit one. You'd rather close a deal than write a memo about closing a deal.
  • This person will own our entire government-facing surface area, and will report directly to the CEO.
  • Relocation support.
  • You want to build a function from scratch, not inherit one.
