ABOUT THE ROLE AND IDEAL CANDIDATE:
You have a deep knowledge of state and federal legislative processes. You have experience working with legislators and executive agencies in order to advance new policy ideas and to help shape regulatory decisions. You understand the mechanics and motivations that trigger executive agency enforcement actions, and you feel comfortable advising a diverse, fast-moving business on how to address policy and legal questions. You are able to effectively work with a variety of different stakeholders to advance policy initiatives and to resolve legal questions. You are eager to bring your government relations and legal experience to an in-house role on a small and supportive team that affords opportunity for professional growth. You look forward to channeling your skills as a negotiator, advocate, and strategist into supporting and advocating for a mission-driven and groundbreaking business. You embrace and are not deterred by ambiguity and are eager to support a rapidly growing business in a fast-paced startup environment. You are willing to quickly dive in on new and “unfamiliar” legal issues. While you are passionate about government relations, you are also eager to take on more traditional legal work, in whatever area the team and the business need support. You are excited to support the company through both government relations outreach and legal advising.
