Community Engagement Lead

115k – 200kAustin, TXNew York, NYCommunityOnsite
Summary

Leads community engagement for datacenter infrastructure projects, building relationships with local governments, stakeholders, and communities to secure project approvals and sustain long-term advocacy. Requires experience in hyperscale datacenter development, multi-jurisdictional engagement, and 30%+ travel.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Develop and own Fluidstack's community engagement playbook: stakeholder mapping, outreach cadences, issue escalation protocols, and community benefit frameworks — scalable across geographies and jurisdictions
  • Serve as the primary face of Fluidstack in local communities — attending town halls, public hearings, planning commission meetings, and community events; represent Fluidstack's interests at external policy and political forums
  • Build and maintain relationships across a broad stakeholder matrix: elected officials, city/county staff, utility partners, school districts, workforce development organizations, nonprofits, trade associations, and community members
  • Monitor state and local legislation, regulatory developments, and policy trends; align external policy shifts with internal business priorities and develop strategies to shape outcomes — briefing senior leadership on political and policy risk throughout
  • Proactively identify and neutralize opposition before it organizes; partner with Site Selection, Real Estate, and Legal to surface reputational, regulatory, and political risk before capital is committed
  • Coordinate community benefit commitments (local hiring, workforce programs, educational partnerships, grants) and develop communications materials that translate complex infrastructure realities into clear narratives for community, government, and executive audiences; manage external partners including lobbyists, consultants, and PR agencies

What We're Looking For

  • Experience specifically in hyperscale or AI datacenter development
  • Familiarity with energy procurement, grid interconnection, or sustainability communications
  • Multi-jurisdictional and/or international community engagement experience
  • Experience engaging with sovereign or government customers alongside private stakeholders
  • Travel 30 %+ to active sites or as needed for projects

Nice to have:

  • Experience specifically in hyperscale or AI datacenter development context
  • Familiarity with energy procurement, grid interconnection, or sustainability communications
  • Experience engaging with sovereign or government customers alongside private stakeholders
  • Multi-jurisdictional and/or international community engagement experience

Compensation: Base salary range: $115,000 - $200,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
