Head of Government Relations

The Role

As Head of Government Relations, you will lead Securitize's engagement with federal and state regulators, elected officials, policy leaders, and industry associations. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role reporting directly to the President of Securitize.

You will be Securitize's leader in building and executing a strategy that shapes a positive regulatory environment for the tokenization of funds and securities. Your mandate is to ensure that the rules, regulations, and statutes being developed today enable — rather than impede — the responsible adoption of blockchain technology in financial markets.

This role requires operating simultaneously at multiple levels: building trusted relationships with senior regulators and legislative staff, developing rigorous policy positions, and translating complex regulatory developments into clear strategic guidance for the business. You will work cross-functionally with Legal, Compliance, Product, and Communications, and will serve as a member of Securitize's leadership team.

You will be responsible for ensuring that: (a) Securitize's key policy positions are well-defined and prioritized; (b) the right meetings with regulators and policymakers are consistently happening; (c) comment letters, position papers, and testimony are drafted and delivered with credibility and impact; and (d) follow-up activities are executed to drive optimal policy outcomes. You will also monitor and brief leadership on regulatory and legislative developments — both domestic and international — that could meaningfully affect our business, positively or negatively. Additional opportunities will exist for building a team to expand the role internationally, depending on the connections and experience of the candidate selected.
