## About the role

Lead day-to-day federal advocacy, building and maintaining relationships across Congressional offices in both parties and chambers, with particular depth on Financial Services/Banking, Ways and Means/Finance, and Appropriations committee staff. Direct SentiLink’s bench of contracted federal and state lobbyists and consultants, setting priorities and a regular cadence of engagement, and translating their work into the budget-cycle and procurement insight our Public Sector sellers need to close.

## What they're looking for

- 3-5 years of experience in public policy, government relations, or legislative affairs, ideally with a combination of time on Capitol Hill, at a trade association, or a regulated fintech/financial services environment
- Working knowledge of federal legislative and regulatory processes, especially related to financial services or identity, and the ability to pick up state-level processes quickly
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills with bipartisan credibility. You've built (or are excited to build) working relationships across the aisle, House and Senate, not just within one party's orbit
- Excellent writing and public speaking ability: comfortable drafting comment letters, testimony, and briefing memos, and representing SentiLink on a conference panel or in a room of policymakers with equal confidence
- Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data
- A proactive, self-starting mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
