  • Defining and executing a public affairs strategy that aligns with business objectives at both central and European levels;
  • Drafting position papers on essential policy and regulatory matters, ensuring alignment between business goals and public affairs strategies;
  • Collaborating with internal stakeholders from various departments and coordinating cross-functional working groups;
  • Promoting and representing the organization's vision and values to a diverse range of stakeholders, including government entities, think tanks, public interest groups, and industry associations;
  • Representing the organization in external publications, events, and discussions with policymakers.

Qualifications Required:

We are looking for a candidate who meets the following criteria:

  • A Master's degree or equivalent practical experience;
  • Over 15 years of experience in technology policy, preferably in a corporate tech-focused environment;
  • Proven experience in independently managing public affairs and/or technology policy issues within government, think tanks, public interest groups, or relevant industry associations;
  • In-depth knowledge of political and institutional dynamics at international and EU levels;
  • Experience in structuring and organizing the Public Affairs function within a tech or online business;
  • Familiarity with the technology sector, internet technologies, and the surrounding policy environments, with experience advocating for core tech policy issues;
  • A strategic thinker with strong leadership capabilities to effectively engage and influence diverse audiences;
  • A collaborative team player with a proactive attitude, eagerness to learn, and adaptability in a fast-paced environment;
  • Exceptional project management skills with experience working with international teams and various internal collaborators;
  • Ability to articulate complex issues in a manner suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences, with impactful communication skills;
  • Proficiency in English, with additional language skills such as French being advantageous.

What We Offer:

At our organization, you will have the opportunity to forge connections internally and collaborate with some of the most recognized brands globally, creating a significant international impact in a dynamic setting.
