• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with credibility across executive, engineering, government, and industry audiences.
• Comfortable operating independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with limited guidance and a resourceful, action-oriented approach.
• Degree and/or equivalent professional experience in government affairs, public policy, law, technology, or a related field.
• Based in Europe and able to travel frequently across the region.
• Experience managing a multi-country European policy portfolio is highly valuable.
