[Hiring] Senior Director, Regulatory & Industry Intelligence @Sovos Compliance

Role Description

At Sovos, we're building the future of regulatory intelligence, where understanding what the law means is just as critical as knowing what it says. As our Regulatory and Industry Intelligence Lead, you'll translate regulatory change into business impact, equipping our product, marketing, and government relations teams with the foresight and context they need to stay ahead. This isn't about tracking compliance in isolation; it's about connecting the dots across sectors, systems, and supply chains so Sovos remains the trusted voice in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

• Equip product management with comprehensive regulatory, industry, and market intelligence to inform product strategy and roadmaps, grounding your analysis in direct customer engagement through workshops, advisory boards, and panels.
• Build and maintain an AI-enabled regulatory graph that surfaces Sovos's full regulatory knowledge quickly and precisely for any internal or external need, leveraging AI tools to continuously improve speed and usability.
• Own the domain's thought leadership by authoring forward-looking publications, solution blueprints, and implementation guidance, and by evangelizing in industry forums so Sovos is the first reference for analysts, press, and government contacts.
• Feed marketing the regulatory narratives, inflection points, and intelligence it needs for campaigns and content, sequencing messaging with regulatory trajectories rather than isolated events.
• Engage with governments and industry bodies to establish Sovos as a trusted adviser, influencing regulatory direction while bringing early intelligence on interpretation and intent back into our products and messaging.
• Translate regulatory insights into internal education programs, building cross-functional literacy so teams think in regulatory context, not just compliance checkboxes.
• Monitor the expansion of regulation into business processes once left to free choice, ensuring each development becomes a product strength and a competitive advantage.

Qualifications

• You've built deep expertise in regulatory analysis, policy intelligence, or a related field, with a track record of translating complex regulatory change into business impact.
• You're fluent in engaging with government bodies, industry associations, and senior stakeholders, and you've established yourself as a trusted voice in regulatory or policy circles.
• You have demonstrated experience collaborating with product management and marketing teams, translating technical or regulatory content into clear, actionable guidance and narratives.
• You're comfortable with AI-assisted workflows and have experience (or strong curiosity) building knowledge systems, taxonomies, or similar structures that make complex information accessible and actionable.
• You're a confident writer and speaker, capable of authoring thought leadership, leading forums, and educating internal teams on complex regulatory topics.
• Deep expertise in law, public policy, business, or a related field — whether from formal education or equivalent professional experience.
