Responsibilities
- Develop and own Fluidstack's community engagement playbook: stakeholder mapping, outreach cadences, issue escalation protocols, and community benefit frameworks — scalable across geographies and jurisdictions

- Build and maintain relationships across a broad stakeholder matrix: elected officials, city/county staff, utility partners, school districts, workforce development organizations, nonprofits, trade associations, and community members
- Monitor state and local legislation, regulatory developments, and policy trends; align external policy shifts with internal business priorities and develop strategies to shape outcomes — briefing senior leadership on political and policy risk throughout
- Proactively identify and neutralize opposition before it organizes; partner with Site Selection, Real Estate, and Legal to surface reputational, regulatory, and political risk before capital is committed
- Coordinate community benefit commitments (local hiring, workforce programs, educational partnerships, grants) and develop communications materials that translate complex infrastructure realities into clear narratives for community, government, and executive audiences; manage external partners including lobbyists, consultants, and PR agencies
