- 7+ years in government partnerships, public-sector business development, or state-level strategy within California
- Proven ability to turn government priorities, funding flows, or legislative/policy windows into commercial opportunities
- Strong relationships or working familiarity with California state agencies and their decision-making processes
- Executive level verbal and written communication, relationship-building, and strategic planning skills
- Entrepreneurial mindset, thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation, mission-driven environment
