Requirements and responsibilities
OpenMined is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation that brings together leading minds in AI, security, and privacy technology to develop open-source solutions that transform how data can be accessed and shared. Founded in 2017, we've grown into a global community of over 18,000 members working to ensure that privacy protection and AI innovation reinforce each other rather than undermine one another. We are driven by a simple challenge: the most valuable data for solving humanity's greatest challenges remains locked away due to numerous concerns. We believe technology can change that without compromise.Just as ARPANET allowed researchers at small universities to access computing power previously available only to a few elite institutions, we're building infrastructure that allows any organization to participate in AI development without surrendering their data. But where ARPANET connected computers, we're connecting data silos. Through a "structured transparency," framework we enable meaningful collaboration and attribution without requiring full disclosure. Imagine pharmaceutical companies collaborating on drug discovery without revealing proprietary compounds, hospitals jointly developing diagnostic AI without pooling patient records, or government agencies sharing insights on public health without compromising citizen privacy. This is the future we're building.We're seeking a Senior Policy Manager to lead our US policy initiatives. This role will be instrumental in advancing OpenMined's mission by engaging with US policymakers, contributing to regulatory frameworks, and ensuring our technical solutions align with evolving privacy regulations while supporting our global infrastructure deployment strategy.ResponsibilitiesPolicy Strategy & AdvocacyDevelop and execute OpenMined's US policy strategy, focusing on attribution-based control and distributed computing infrastructureMonitor and analyze US legislative developmentsBuild relationships with key stakeholders in Congress, the Administration, Relevant Agencies, and select state governmentsRepresent OpenMined in policy forums, consultations, and working groupsBuild coalitions with privacy-tech companies, research institutions, and civil society organizations to advance common policy goalsRegulatory Compliance & GuidanceTranslate complex regulatory requirements into actionable guidance for our technical teamsEnsure OpenMined's tools and frameworks align with US data protection and AI governance requirementsDevelop policy briefs and position papers on emerging regulatory issuesSupport OpenMined’s community in understanding regulatory implications for privacy-preserving technologiesCross-functional CollaborationWork closely with Product and Engineering teams to inform technical development and infrastructure investment decisions, as well as operationalize policy strategyPartner with the Education team to develop policy-related educational contentCollaborate with internal and community researchers to translate technical innovations into policy recommendationsCoordinate with global policy colleagues to ensure consistent messaging and approachSupport Leadership in developing policy-informed partnership frameworks and deployment strategiesThought LeadershipAuthor blog posts, research papers, and policy briefs (see Policy Blog for ideas)Speak at conferences and eventsContribute to public consultations and regulatory impact assessmentsBuild OpenMined's reputation as a trusted voice in US tech policyMonitor and research emerging policy issues to assess strategic partnerships and organization positioningRequirementsRequired Qualifications3-5 years of experience in US technology policyStrong understanding of US legislative processes and regulatory frameworksProven track record of successful policy advocacy and stakeholder engagementExperience translating between technical and policy communitiesExcellent written and verbal communication skills in EnglishDeep commitment to privacy, open-source, and democratizing access to AIWillingness to travelPreferred QualificationsAdvanced degree in law, public policy, computer science, or related fieldTechnical background or demonstrated ability to understand complex privacy-preserving technologiesExperience working with open-source communitiesCompensationSalary Range: $105,000 - $150,000 per year.Actual offers will be determined based on the candidate's skills and level of experience.BenefitsMission-Driven Work: Be part of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, focused on social impact rather than profit, offering the chance to make a meaningful difference in the world.Open Source Contribution: Make a real impact by contributing to an Open Source project that benefits a broad community.Collaborative Global Team: Join a dynamic, international team that values collaboration and diversity.Flexible Work Hours: Enjoy the autonomy to structure your work hours around what best fits your life and productivity.Fully Remote Work: Work from anywhere in the world—no office or commute required.Results-Driven Culture: Thrive in an environment that values efficiency and results over bureaucracy.Flexible Paid Time Off: Take the time you need with flexible vacation days, alongside recognition of local national holidays.Competitive Compensation: Receive competitive pay, with equity in salary across different regions.
