Community Engagement Lead

About Fluidstack We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we\'ve ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don\'t share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We\'re singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply! How We Operate Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible. Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins. Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. Build something that actually matters. If you\'re going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world. The Public Affairs Team Examples of key problems the team is working on Shape the policy and regulations that make or break the industry. State and local rules on power, land, and permitting can open a market or close it. You\'ll track legislation and regulatory shifts, brief leadership on political risk, and work to shape outcomes in our favor before they turn into blockers. Turn neighbors and officials into advocates. You\'ll be the face of Fluidstack in town halls, hearings, and planning commissions, building the relationships that move projects forward and heading off opposition before it can stall them. Win the communities the build depends on, because the US has to win. Whoever deploys frontier compute fastest decides whether AI expands freedom or shrinks it, and every site sits in a community that can speed it up or stall it for years. You\'ll earn that trust before the first shovel hits the ground. Role Scope Represent Fluidstack at town halls, public hearings, planning commission meetings, and community events as the primary external face across active development sites. Build and hold relationships across a wide stakeholder matrix: elected officials, city and county staff, utility partners, school districts, workforce development organizations, nonprofits, and trade associations. Identify and get ahead of organized opposition before capital is committed, surfacing reputational, regulatory, and political risk in coordination with Development, Legal, and Commercial teams. Deploy community benefit commitments, including local hiring programs, educational partnerships, and grants, and write communications materials that translate infrastructure complexity into clear narratives for community, government, and executive audiences. Manage external partners, including lobbyists, consultants, and PR agencies, across multiple concurrent site campaigns. What We\'re Looking For The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don\'t fit this role exactly, tell us where you would. You\'ve been the named external face for a large infrastructure project, fielding opposition at public hearings and building coalitions that got something built. You\'ve managed a stakeholder map with genuine competing interests, elected officials, regulators, community organizations, utilities, and kept relationships functional under pressure. You spot political or reputational risk early enough to do something about it, and you\'ve changed a project outcome by catching something before it organized into opposition. You write and speak clearly enough to make a complex infrastructure story land with a city council member, a local nonprofit, and a CEO in the same week. You\'ve directly managed lobbyists, PR firms, or political consultants: set the brief, held them accountable, and stepped in when they weren\'t moving fast enough. You\'re comfortable on the road; this role requires sustained presence at active sites, not periodic visits. Bonus: Hyperscale or AI data center development experience. Energy procurement or grid interconnection communications. Sustainability or environmental permitting narratives. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
