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.

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.
