About Us

We are a leading national trade association representing a major U.S. industry—including formulators, chemical suppliers, and packaging companies that develop products used every day to ensure health, hygiene, and economic vitality. The association and its members are dedicated to advancing science-based policies that protect people and the environment, promote innovation, and support growth across the value chain.

Overview

The association seeks a visionary, strategic leader to serve as Vice President, Government Affairs—a key member of the executive team responsible for driving one of its core strategic pillars : policy leadership and external influence. This is not a traditional head-of-government-affairs role. The VP will design and execute an agile influence strategy across federal and state arenas; anticipate and shape outcomes amid a rapidly evolving policy landscape; and position the organization as a credible, proactive thought partner to policymakers and stakeholders. Reporting to the President & CEO, the VP will set direction, lead the Government Affairs team, and deliver measurable policy impact for member companies.

Strategic Leadership & Policy Development

• Lead the design and evolution of a multi-year government affairs strategy aligned to the association’s mission and business priorities.
• Translate political dynamics, emerging risks, and macro trends into actionable strategies and decision frameworks for leadership and the Board.
• Integrate advocacy priorities across the association’s strategic plan, ensuring alignment with regulatory, technical / scientific, and communications teams.
• Establish outcome-oriented policy agendas with milestones, metrics, and accountability.
