## About the role

Peregrine is seeking a Community Engagement Lead to build and lead the function responsible for how we engage the communities we serve and drive success in the civic arena. As Peregrine’s technology is adopted by state and local governments, decisions about deployment can play out through public hearings, council votes, community conversations, and high-visibility civic debates. This role ensures Peregrine and our government partners are prepared to navigate those moments with credibility, transparency, and trust.

- Deep understanding of how civic decisions are made and how initiatives move through city halls, public hearings, and local government processes
- Proven ability to build coalitions, navigate high-stakes public conversations, and move complex initiatives toward successful outcomes
- Strong relationships and working familiarity with community organizations, elected officials, government leaders, or other civic stakeholders
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex or technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives
- High-agency, entrepreneurial operator who is comfortable building from scratch and working across functions in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
