What you'll do
- Identify government partnership opportunities across Australia — from healthcare and education to transport, federal agencies, and other public sector entities — and bridge the gap between government institutions and the GTM team to drive adoption and deployment of ElevenLabs' products
- Build and maintain a wide network of relationships across Australian government institutions — spanning federal departments, agencies, and state and territory governments — not limited to regulatory or policy counterparts
- Promote government adoption of ElevenLabs products and services in partnership with the GTM team
- Build and maintain strong relationships with policymakers, regulators, industry associations, and civil society groups
- Represent ElevenLabs at conferences and industry events, advancing the company's public policy goals
- Lead ElevenLabs engagement with government bodies and officials across Australia, with a focus on AI governance, safety, copyright, privacy, transparency, data protection, competition, and/or digital rights
- Monitor, analyze, and advise on emerging regulations impacting the company
- Support the development of internal policies by Legal, Safety, Security, and other teams
- Provide strategic counsel to company leadership on regional policy trends and their business implications
- Define and implement policy campaigns and impact initiatives that advance company objectives
What we're looking for
- 15+ years' experience in public and private sector (in-house, firm) roles, with a track record of building relationships with government that led to commercial or technology-adoption outcomes — not solely policy or regulatory roles
- A wide, current network of contacts across Australian government institutions — spanning federal departments, agencies, and state and territory governments, including in healthcare, education, and transport
- Strong knowledge of the Australian AI policy landscape, including general AI governance, safety, copyright, privacy, transparency, data protection, competition, and digital rights
- Demonstrated success in designing, advocating for, and influencing policy outcomes, as well as coalition building
- Public policy experience across Australia
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including when briefing government officials and other policymakers
- Fluency in English
- Genuinely interested in the future of AI and emerging technologies, bringing curiosity and enthusiasm to the role
- Stays up-to-date on AI regulation and industry trends
- Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment, working cross-functionally
- Comfortable working independently and handling ambiguity
- Proactive, solution-oriented approach
Nice to have
- Experience identifying and opening doors for technology partnerships with government institutions is strongly preferred
- Contacts or experience across other Five Eyes markets is a plus
