[Hiring] Public Sector Partnerships Manager @ElevenLabs

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic leader to build ElevenLabs’ public sector business across the United States. The Public Sector Partnerships Manager will identify and build relationships with government institutions across the US, bridging the gap between government and our GTM team to drive adoption of ElevenLabs’ products and grow government into a strong, durable revenue stream for the company. The role also involves building strategic partnerships with policymakers, industry associations, and coalitions, as well as monitoring regulatory developments and supporting policy campaigns and impact initiatives.

• Drive government adoption and revenue (primary)
  • Identify government partnership opportunities across the United States — from healthcare and education to transport, federal agencies, and other public sector entities — and bridge the gap between government institutions and the GTM team to drive adoption and deployment of ElevenLabs’ products.
  • Build and maintain a wide network of relationships across US government institutions — spanning federal departments, agencies, and state governments — not limited to regulatory or policy counterparts.
  • Promote government adoption of ElevenLabs products and services in partnership with the GTM team.
• Build strategic partnerships (secondary)
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with policymakers, regulators, industry associations, and civil society groups.
  • Represent ElevenLabs at conferences and industry events, advancing the company’s public policy goals.
• Monitor and advise on policy (tertiary)
  • Lead ElevenLabs engagement with government bodies and officials across the United States, with a focus on AI governance, safety, copyright, privacy, transparency, data protection, competition, and/or digital rights.
  • Monitor, analyze, and advise on emerging regulations impacting the company.
  • Support the development of internal policies by our Legal, Safety, Security, and other teams.
  • Provide strategic counsel to company leadership on regional policy trends and their business implications.
  • Define and implement policy campaigns and impact initiatives that advance company objectives.

Qualifications

• Genuinely interested in the future of AI and emerging technologies, bringing curiosity and enthusiasm to your role.
• Stay up-to-date on AI regulation and industry trends, eager to apply this expertise to cutting-edge products.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment, working cross-functionally with teams across the organization to support and scale a growing business.
• Comfortable working independently and handling ambiguity, excelling in situations where you must make informed decisions quickly.
• Proactive, solution-oriented approach to each project, focused on moving the business forward.

Requirements

• 15+ years’ experience in public and private sector (in-house, firm) roles, with a track record of building relationships with government that led to commercial or technology-adoption outcomes — not solely policy or regulatory roles.
• A wide, current network of contacts across US government institutions — spanning federal departments, agencies, and state governments, including in healthcare, education, and transport.
• Experience identifying and opening doors for technology partnerships with government institutions is strongly preferred.
• Contacts or experience across other Five Eyes markets is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of the US AI policy landscape, including general AI governance, safety, copyright, privacy, transparency, data protection, competition, and digital rights.
• Demonstrated success in designing, advocating for, and influencing policy outcomes, as well as coalition building.
• Public policy experience across the United States.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including when briefing government officials and other policymakers.
• Fluency in English.

Benefits

• Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
• Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
• Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
• Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
• Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.
• Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.
