Our organization convenes industry executives, policymakers, former military leaders, and other stakeholders to advance a range of initiatives in the energy, climate, and industrial policy realms.

  • You will work closely with the SAFE communications team to develop strategic communications to a policymaker and key stakeholder audience.
  • You will represent SAFE in industry associations, coalitions, think tank discussions, and other forums to advance company priorities.
  • Other responsibilities not listed may be added based on the individual’s skills and background.
