Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Legal, and Engineering teams to align policy objectives with technical business goals.
Proven experience in public policy, government affairs, or a highly regulated industry (e.g., tech, transport, or logistics). Subject Matter Expertise: Proven understanding of the regulatory environment surrounding transport, digital platform regulation, or the delivery sector. Funding Literacy: Experience identifying and navigating public funding landscapes or government procurement processes. Strategic Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills, with the ability to translate complex regulations into actionable business insights and advocate effectively to senior policymakers. Project Management: Strong ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage multiple high-stakes policy files simultaneously. Adaptability: A self-motivated, solution-focused mindset with a genuine curiosity for emerging technologies and legislative trends.
Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying if you feel you’re the kind of person described above!
Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities. Enjoy a rewarding salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you.
