About the Role

Socure is expanding its federal government affairs footprint in Washington, D.C., and we're seeking an experienced, highly strategic Government Affairs Manager to drive our advocacy and strengthen Socure’s voice across Congress, federal agencies, and key industry coalitions.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with legal, product, communications, and go-to-market teams to shape a policy and regulatory environment that advances Socure’s mission to verify 100% of good identities in real time.

While Socure is a fully remote organization, this role requires frequent in-person engagement across the D.C. ecosystem, including Capitol Hill, federal agencies, think tanks, and industry events.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Socure’s federal advocacy strategy, cultivating and maintaining influential relationships on Capitol Hill, within federal agencies, and across the broader federal policy community.

• Serve as a trusted advisor on public policy issues spanning identity, cybersecurity, AI, financial services, digital authentication, and federal procurement.

• Drive direct lobbying efforts with lawmakers, regulators, and trade associations to advance Socure’s priorities and shape legislative and regulatory outcomes.

• Track, analyze, and synthesize complex legislative and regulatory developments, delivering actionable insights and strategic recommendations.

• Collaborate across internal teams to align policy objectives with product development, compliance strategy, and commercial initiatives.

• Develop compelling briefing materials, talking points, policy memos, and stakeholder communications for executive leadership and external audiences.

• Represent Socure in meetings, hearings, roundtables, and industry convenings, often as the company’s primary external voice on federal policy issues.

What You Bring

• 5–8+ years of experience in government affairs, public policy, or legislative advocacy, including direct lobbying experience.

• Strong preference for candidates with experience in financial services, banking, or fast-paced fintech environments—particularly in highly regulated or compliance-driven domains.

• Deep working knowledge of federal legislative and regulatory processes, particularly those related to financial services, identity, technology, cybersecurity, AI, or privacy.

• Exceptional communication, political judgment, and relationship-building skills, with a track record of developing bipartisan credibility.

• Proven ability to translate complex technical and regulatory issues into clear, actionable guidance for internal and external stakeholders.

• A proactive, self-directed approach and comfort operating in a fast-moving, high-growth environment with cross-functional teams.

Bonus Points

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

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