Requirements

Comprehensive understanding of political dynamics surrounding digital infrastructure, energy, land use, water use, and technology regulations in frontier markets.
Experience creating and delivering testimony, regulatory comments, briefing documents, or coalition communications in a fast-paced, future-facing, constantly evolving political landscape.
Ability to leverage strong existing relationships in relevant policy communities — committee staff or officials, regulators, industry orgs, and advocates for digital infrastructure.
Experience translating complex ideas into straightforward, plain language understandable to diverse stakeholders that results in shifting narratives and mindsets.

Responsibilities

Own Fluidstack's state and local policy agenda across AI infrastructure, tax incentives, utilities, resource use, and more.
Draft and deliver policy materials independently: testimony, regulatory comments, briefing documents, and coalition communications that land with both technical and political audiences.
Build and maintain strong relationships with state congressional leaders, governor’s offices, state and local regulators, and advocacy groups to ensure Fluidstack’s value proposition and perspective are communicated clearly and consistently.
Work directly with site development and utilities teams on data center permitting, grid interconnection, and state-level utility approvals, translating regulatory complexity into unblocked timelines.
