Требования
- A career defined by progressive depth in public policy, government affairs, or regulatory work — whether in-house at a major technology or professional services company, in senior government or regulatory roles, or in a senior advisory capacity at a leading firm. J.D. strongly preferred.
- A policy-first orientation, not a lobbying-first one. You understand the difference between working the machinery of government and educating policymakers, and you lead with the latter. You build credibility through substance, not access alone.
- Demonstrated ability to build, not just operate. You have stood up a function, set a strategy, and built relationships from a standing start — or led a significant expansion of scope within a larger organization. You know what it takes to go from zero to credible in a new institutional landscape.
- Deep, trusted relationships with senior government, regulatory, and institutional stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions. You are known, respected, and sought out for your judgment. Your relationships outlast administrations and election cycles.
- Substantive familiarity with the legal industry, the judiciary, or the regulatory environment around legal services and AI. You understand how bar associations, courts, and government legal departments think, and you can engage credibly at a senior level with people who have spent decades in these institutions.
- Bipartisan credibility and intellectual integrity. You have worked constructively across political environments. You know when to hold a position and when to listen. You can make the case for 's work in rooms where the politics cut differently, without compromising your credibility in either.
- Genuine conviction about the role of AI in improving legal services and expanding access to justice. This is not a defensive compliance role. 's position — that AI can augment professional judgment, reduce barriers to expertise, and strengthen legal institutions — is one worth making, and you'll make it persuasively and responsibly.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can represent in high-stakes, high-visibility settings — before bar committees, judicial conferences, congressional staff, and international regulatory bodies — and hold the room.
- Principled judgment in complex environments. You've navigated situations where the right answer wasn't obvious — politically, ethically, or commercially — and made calls you'd stand behind publicly. You can help develop clear positions on hard questions and represent them credibly.
