About the Role:

Socure is expanding its government affairs presence in Washington, D.C., and we're looking for a sharp, policy-savvy Government Affairs Manager to help drive our advocacy strategy with Congress, federal agencies, and industry coalitions. You’ll work cross-functionally with legal, product, comms, and GTM teams to help shape the policy environment that supports Socure’s mission to verify 100% of good identities in real time.

While Socure is a fully remote company, this role will require frequent in-person engagement with stakeholders across the D.C. area, including Capitol Hill, federal agencies, and industry events.

What You’ll Do:

• Drive Socure’s federal advocacy strategy, building relationships across Congress, federal agencies, and the White House.

• Serve as a trusted advisor on public policy issues impacting identity, cybersecurity, AI, financial services, and procurement.

• Lead engagement with policymakers, regulators, and trade associations to advance Socure’s interests and shape regulatory outcomes.

• Monitor, analyze, and provide actionable insights on key legislative and regulatory developments.

• Coordinate across internal teams to align policy goals with product, compliance, and business development priorities.

• Prepare briefing materials, talking points, and policy communications for internal and external stakeholders.

• Represent Socure in meetings, hearings, roundtables, and industry events.

Qualifications:

• 4–7 years of experience in public policy, government relations, or legislative affairs—ideally with time spent on Capitol Hill, in a federal agency, or in a regulated tech/fintech environment.

• Working knowledge of federal legislative and regulatory processes, especially related to technology, financial services, identity, or privacy.

• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills with bipartisan credibility.

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate complex policy into clear, actionable guidance.

• A proactive, self-starting mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with federal procurement, AML/KYC, or NIST frameworks.

• Background in identity verification, AI governance, or digital trust policy.
