Leading the conversation on energy and transportation policy, SAFE produces high-quality, fact-based analysis and policy recommendations for lawmakers, regulatory agencies, and the public with the goal of bolstering the economic and national security of the United States and its allies. 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.  

 

Position Summary

SAFE is at the forefront of advancing policies crucial to the nation’s economic and national security, particularly in the areas of transportation electrification, critical minerals, industrial policy, and electrical grid resilience. We are seeking a seasoned Senior Manager, Government Affairs, to develop and spearhead advocacy strategies in Washington in support of SAFE’s initiatives, including the Amb. Alfred J.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a deep understanding of the legislative and regulatory processes, a track-record of strategically engaging policymakers to influence policy, and the capacity to successfully support multiple stakeholders across an organization. Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, the Senior Manager will represent SAFE before elected officials and staff on Capitol Hill, at federal agencies, and at the White House.

  • You will collaborate with the White House and federal agencies to pursue regulatory and executive action that considers and advances SAFE's policy positions.
  • You will identify opportunities to work with legislative offices, relevant executive branch stakeholders, and outside groups (industry, non-profits) to garner support for SAFE political priorities. This will include the support of and/or participation in meetings, briefings, hearings, and other events.
  • You will work closely with Senior Vice President, Government Relations and the Executive Directors of SAFE’s centers to develop and execute legislative and executive branch outreach efforts, including events, briefings, and meetings; identify key topics for analysis; draft memos and briefing materials; and support Executive Directors and organization leadership in meetings with elected officials and staff.
  • 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.
