About the team and position

We're looking for a well-connected Manager to join Carvana's Government Affairs Team within our Corporate Affairs department. We have an exciting, customer-friendly business and are constantly building relationships and telling our story to elected officials and regulators across the country. As we grow, we're finding we have more folks who want to hear from us, and more policy developments to monitor and analyze. We need someone embedded in their region's political and policy scene to help us get stronger, smarter, and faster at building relationships and managing Carvana's state and local government affairs portfolio in that region.

You will report to our Head of Public Policy and Government Affairs, and will partner to build a regional strategy and relationship portfolio. You'll engage and meet with elected officials and regulators on behalf of Carvana to represent Carvana's interests, track interactions with public officials, and generally maintain a holistic perspective on Carvana's many relationships with government officials in your region. You'll also identify legislation in process that is relevant to Carvana's business, and manage Carvana's engagement in the legislative process.

What you'll be doing

• Build relationships with staff for government officials and government affairs partners and maintain a database of contacts and interactions.
• Identify proactive opportunities to engage in the legislative or regulatory process.
• Manage legislative and regulatory issues to successful resolution, including by meeting with lawmakers, drafting proposed legislation or amendment language, testifying in committee, garnering support for Carvana's priority issues, and managing the work of external consultants and lobbyists.
• Build relationships with local Chambers of Commerce and industry associations, and identify opportunities for Carvana to engage in community affairs in your region.
• Identify opportunities to introduce Carvana's local personnel to elected officials and to coordinate tours of Carvana's local locations.
• Independently prepare reports on pending and enacted legislation at the end of legislative sessions.
• Assist the Legal team with policy research on key issues.
