Our Regulatory & Financial Risk offering supports clients' regulatory and compliance needs, balancing risk and regulatory requirements with enhancing business value and optimizing outcomes. We deliver enhanced value through strategic transformation, end-to-end implementation, and focus on business-as-usual sustainability across processes, controls, and data & analytic infrastructures.

Qualifications

Required:

7+ years of experience in business development, government relations, or lobbying with a demonstrable history of winning state and local government contracts.

Specialized experience within a highly regulated sector (e.g., energy/utilities & environment, housing finance, economic development, transportation, state pension funds, financial regulation, or healthcare compliance).

Experience translating complex government rules and administrative code changes into actionable consulting opportunities and technical solutions.

Experience pitching to high-level government panels, writing compelling capture briefs, or negotiating strategic partnerships.

Must be able to obtain and maintain the required clearance for this role

Ability to travel 10-50%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve

Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future

Preferred:

Experience managing a network of contacts among state and local elected officials, agency executives, procurement officers, and political stakeholders.

Experience leveraging specific government procurement vehicles and schedules (e.g., management consulting frameworks under NAICS 541611).

Background working within or directly advising regulatory bodies or administrative enforcement agencies.

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled.

A reasonable estimate of the current range is $148,200 to $292,300.

You may also be eligible to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing the program, whereby an award, if any, depends on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.
