This role will be based in Washington, DC.

Support the Head of Policy in developing regulatory and legislative strategy on AI data center policy, including engagement across AI infrastructure, siting, energy procurement, and governance issues.

• Track, analyze, and forecast federal and state-level policy developments affecting AI infrastructure, including legislation, regulations, and incentive programs, with a primary focus on Texas and expanding coverage as Galaxy's data center footprint grows.
• Support development of Galaxy's positions on AI data centers and AI governance policy through research, drafting, and direct engagement with federal agencies, Congress, and relevant regulatory bodies.
• Build and maintain relationships with policymakers, regulators, industry coalitions, and key stakeholders, including state legislators, governors' offices, public utility commissions, and economic development agencies, to advance Galaxy's interests on AI policy.
• Monitor permitting processes, local utilities, and political and regulatory developments in target markets, and flag risks and opportunities for internal teams.

• Advise internal stakeholders and external partners on emerging AI policy developments and their business implications.
• Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes.
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work.

4+ years of policy experience, with significant exposure to energy, technology, or infrastructure policy at the federal or state level.

• Experience in Congress, a federal or state regulatory agency, or a policy-focused role at a data center, or energy company strongly preferred.
• Deep familiarity with AI policy debates, including data center infrastructure, energy permitting, and AI governance frameworks.
• Proven ability to build policy functions or lead significant policy initiatives with limited infrastructure; a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity.
