Role Description

Corporate Tools is looking for a Government Relations Director, or really, a liaison, coordinator, or someone who can help us work with government agencies as smoothly and effectively as possible.

• Credible presence with policymakers. Proven ability to represent an organization effectively in meetings with legislators, regulators, and other government stakeholders.
