## Description

Stripe is building the economic infrastructure that makes it easier for entrepreneurs and companies across the globe to grow their businesses. We are establishing a new function within our Washington, DC Government Relations & Public Affairs team and seeking an experienced professional with demonstrated expertise in Artificial Intelligence and policy advocacy to join our team and further Stripe's mission.

As AI becomes central to how businesses are built and run, businesses like Stripe face a new set of questions: how infrastructure for AI should operate, what responsibilities sit at the infrastructure layer, and how to keep that infrastructure open, secure, and trusted. We are seeking to work with a colleague who combines substantive AI-policy knowledge with the interpersonal skills to earn trust with policymakers. You will help officials understand the nuances of frontier technology and develop practical policy proposals that support innovation while addressing legitimate concerns about security, privacy, and misuse.

Responsibilities:

- External Advocacy: Establish trusted working relationships with congressional offices and administration officials across political parties. Lead engagement with internal stakeholders alongside the Federal and State GR teams to recommend advocacy priorities for Stripe's AI-policy portfolio.

- Policy Acumen: Examine Federal and State legislation, proposed regulations, and government guidance on model access, AI governance, privacy, cybersecurity, and accountability. Recommend specific changes and turn those recommendations into achievable advocacy plans.

- Strategic Leadership: Assess how national-security policy, export restrictions, cross-border data rules, and the treatment of models developed outside the United States could affect an AI platform offering access to multiple providers.

- Collaboration: Work with product, engineering, legal, privacy, security, and communications colleagues to understand operational realities before making policy recommendations or external commitments.

- Thought Leadership: Write concise policy recommendations, meeting briefs, regulatory submissions, and executive preparation materials.

Requirements:

- At least 8 years of relevant work in government, public policy, government relations, or technology advocacy, including meaningful responsibility for AI or closely related technology-policy issues.

- A record of influencing federal policy through work in Congress, the executive branch, a technology company, or another organization engaged in substantive Washington advocacy.

- Personal credibility with officials and staff, supported by examples of earning trust, sustaining relationships, and working effectively with people whose political or policy views differ from your own.

- Sufficient technical knowledge to discuss foundation models, inference, APIs, model and provider selection, and open-weight ecosystems with product teams and government officials.

- Evidence of strong policy judgment: identifying what matters in a proposal, anticipating unintended effects, and developing alternatives that are technically workable and persuasive to government decision-makers.
