What You'll Do

The CoreWeave Legal and Government Affairs (LGA) team is highly collaborative and partners closely with teams across the company to navigate complex policy, regulatory, and business environments while enabling innovation and growth. The team is pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and deeply engaged in strategic decision‑making, with a strong emphasis on building trusted relationships across the organization.

As Senior Policy Manager, Asia‑Pacific, you will lead policy and government engagement across assigned markets in the region and directly support CoreWeave's commercial expansion. You will build trusted relationships with government officials, regulators, and economic development agencies, and you will work alongside Corporate Development, Legal, and the build teams to shape the policy environment, open doors, and help move deals from conversation to operating capacity. If you thrive in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment, enjoy solving complex problems, and are eager to make a significant impact, CoreWeave is the place for you.

About The Role

Reporting to the Vice President, Head of Government Affairs, the Senior Policy Manager will help shape CoreWeave's Asia‑Pacific government affairs strategy and advance the policy and political groundwork that supports the company's regional growth.

This role sits at the intersection of policy expertise and business development. You'll bring a working command of the regional policy landscape, including AI governance, data protection and localization, digital infrastructure, energy and power, foreign investment, and export controls, and you'll apply it to live commercial opportunities. You'll work closely with government ministries and regulators, investment promotion and economic development agencies, embassies and the U.S. government's regional posts, in‑country consultants, trade associations, and local partners to advance CoreWeave's objectives in markets where we operate and seek to grow.

You’ll represent CoreWeave before senior government officials and other key stakeholders, make the case for CoreWeave as a trusted, long‑term partner for local AI ecosystems, and translate policy analysis into practical guidance for deal teams and build teams. This role is ideal for a proactive, commercially minded professional who thrives in building relationships, identifying opportunities, and turning regional policy knowledge into business outcomes.

In This Role You Will

• Own and lead CoreWeave's policy and government engagement for your assigned markets in the Asia‑Pacific region.
• Partner with Corporate Development and business leaders to assess policy, regulatory, and stakeholder conditions in prospective markets, support market‑entry strategy, and lead government‑facing workstreams that support commercial opportunities and negotiations.
• Work alongside the build, real estate, energy, and operations teams to support site selection, permitting, power and grid access, incentives, and stakeholder engagement in new markets, with a focus on speed to capacity.
• Develop and execute market‑specific engagement strategies, identifying key decision‑makers and stakeholders, establishing engagement milestones, anticipating emerging issues, and building durable relationships that advance CoreWeave’s commercial and policy objectives. Monitor, analyze, and interpret legislative, regulatory, and policy developments across the region relevant to AI, data centers, cloud infrastructure, energy, data governance, trade, and foreign investment.
• Conduct policy research and competitive analysis to identify opportunities for CoreWeave participation in coalitions, trade associations, working groups, and public consultations.
• Coordinate with CoreWeave's international affairs, federal affairs, national security, and legal teams to ensure regional engagement reflects company‑wide priorities and applicable U.S. and local regulatory requirements, including export controls.
• Manage and direct in‑country consultants and advisors, and coordinate with internal cross‑functional stakeholders (commercial, legal, communications, operations) to support consistent messaging and alignment around regional government objectives.
• Represent CoreWeave at relevant consultations, government meetings, industry events, and stakeholder engagements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Public Policy, Political Science, International Relations, Economics, or a related field.
• Minimum of 10 years of progressive professional experience in government affairs, public policy, regulatory affairs, or a closely related role, with substantial experience in the Asia‑Pacific region.
• Deep understanding of policy and regulatory processes in one or more Asia‑Pacific markets and how they translate to business outcomes.
• Experience working alongside business development, corporate development, or commercial teams on market entry, partnerships, or large‑scale investment.
• Proven track record of building and managing relationships with government officials and policymakers.
• Strong research and analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex policy information.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to tailor messaging for different audiences.
• Proven ability to work independently, manage multiple initiatives across time zones, and drive projects to completion.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to operate in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.
• Demonstrated ability to execute strategies within a collaborative team structure.

Preferred Skills

• Strong multi‑market government affairs experience across Southeast Asia, South Asia, or the broader Asia‑Pacific region.
• Experience in tech, energy policy, digital infrastructure, or investment promotion.
• Knowledge of AI, cloud computing, or related technology sectors, and of the policy debates around AI governance, data sovereignty, and export controls.
• Familiarity with the political landscape and key decision‑makers in Singapore, India, and Indonesia.
• Experience with coalition building, trade association engagement, or advocacy campaign management.
• Language skills relevant to CoreWeave's target markets.
• Track record of generating business results or revenue impact from government affairs work.

Work Environment

• Location: Hybrid (based in Singapore)
• Travel: Frequent travel to target markets, government capitals, project sites, and conferences throughout the Asia‑Pacific region is required (estimated 30‑40% of time)
• This is a regional position focused on Asia‑Pacific policy and market expansion

Wondering if you're a good fit?

• You love building relationships with officials and turning a first meeting with a regulator into a lasting partnership.
• You're energized by sitting at the table with a deal team and helping the business move faster because you understood the policy environment before everyone else did.
• You're curious about how data centers can be good neighbors in every market, from paying for the grid upgrades they require and using closed‑loop cooling to becoming a lasting source of tax revenue, jobs, and infrastructure that helps a region grow.
• You're curious about how sovereignty, energy, and digital infrastructure policy shape where the next generation of AI infrastructure gets built, and how CoreWeave can be a trusted partner to local AI ecosystems.
• You're an expert at reading a regional political and regulatory landscape and finding a practical path to shape issues.
