The American Cement Association (ACA) represents the nation's cement manufacturers, advocating for policies and regulations that advance sustainable construction, innovation, economic competitiveness, and environmental stewardship. ACA works with federal agencies, Congress, allied industries, and stakeholders to ensure the U.S. cement sector remains strong, resilient, and a leader in the U.S. infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.

Position Overview

The Vice President of Regulatory Affairs is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping, advancing, and executing ACA's regulatory strategy across environmental, energy, climate, and safety policy arenas. The VP will serve as the association's chief regulatory strategist and primary liaison with federal regulatory agencies, ensuring the cement industry's interests are represented in rulemakings, implementation programs, and compliance frameworks.

This individual will work closely with ACA member companies, technical experts, and allied trade associations to anticipate regulatory trends, develop sound policy positions, and advocate for pragmatic, science-based regulations that support cement industry competitiveness and sustainability.

Key Responsibilities

Regulatory Strategy & Advocacy

  • Lead ACA's regulatory policy agenda across key issue areas, including air emissions, climate and carbon management, alternative fuels, energy policy, water, waste, and occupational safety.
  • Represent the cement industry before federal and state regulatory agencies (EPA, DOE, etc.), as well as White House offices and interagency working groups.
  • Develop regulatory comments, position papers, and testimony to advance member priorities in rulemaking and regulatory processes.
  • Monitor, analyze, and forecast regulatory trends affecting the cement industry, advising leadership and members on potential impacts and opportunities.

Member Engagement & Coordination

  • Oversee the ACA's Environment and Energy Committee, ensuring active member engagement in policy development.
  • Provide clear, timely updates and strategic recommendations to member companies on regulatory developments.
  • Build consensus within the industry on complex policy and technical issues, ensuring unified advocacy positions.
  • Coalition & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Collaborate with allied industry associations, NGOs, research institutions, and government partners to shape workable regulatory frameworks.
  • Cultivate relationships with senior agency officials and career staff to establish ACA as a trusted, credible resource.
  • Represent ACA in coalitions, advisory groups, and technical forums relevant to cement industry regulation.
  • Organizational Leadership

  • Contribute to ACA's overall strategic plan as a member of the government affairs leadership team.
  • Manage regulatory affairs staff, consultants and legal counsel, ensuring high-quality work products and effective representation.
  • Partner with ACA's economics, communications, and technical teams to align advocacy strategies.
  • Qualifications

    Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in environmental policy, engineering, public policy, political science, or related field required; advanced degree (JD) preferred.
  • 12+ years of experience in regulatory affairs, government relations, or related policy roles.
  • Strong background in environmental, energy, climate, or industrial regulation, ideally with experience at EPA, DOE, or a relevant trade association or corporation.
  • Cement industry or other industrial sector experience preferred but not required.
  • Skills & Competencies

  • Deep understanding of the federal regulatory process and administrative law.
  • Proven ability to develop and execute successful regulatory advocacy strategies.
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical issues into compelling advocacy positions.
  • Strong coalition-building, consensus-driving, and negotiation skills.
  • Experience managing staff, consultants, and budgets.
  • Commitment to sustainability, innovation, and advancing pragmatic policy solutions.
  • Why Join ACA?

    This is a unique opportunity to shape the regulatory landscape for one of America's foundational industries at a pivotal moment in its transformation toward low-carbon solutions. As Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, you will play a critical leadership role in advancing policies that impact the future of U.S. infrastructure, energy, and sustainability.
