This role will partner with various internal stakeholders to determine Vantage's priorities and positions on programme-level policy topics, including ESG, planning and permitting policy, energy policy, and technology-related policy.
Key Responsibilities

- Support regional public policy team members in developing and implementing policy messaging and engagement plans on programme-level policy topics around ESG, energy policy, and technology policies at member state level.
- Research, identify, track, and report on current and emerging policy issues at EU level that are relevant to the data centre sector and Vantage's business strategies.
- Lead and/or contribute to the public policy efforts in cross-functional programme level initiatives in partnership with teams like operational compliance, sustainability, energy, design and engineering, legal, and/or corporate compliance.
- Support the development and execution of any multi-market policy advocacy strategies in response to transposition of EU directives.
- Oversee third-party public affairs agencies and industry associations supporting EU and programme level efforts.
- Build and manage relationships with public affairs counterparts in the industry and with Vantage customers.
- Support early market intelligence gathering, risk analyses, and early stakeholder engagement in select EU countries; in partnership with Site Selection, Market Development, and New Site Development teams.
Requirements

- A strong understanding of the policy environment and mechanisms at EU level, with hands-on experience navigating and shaping policy within this context.
- A strong network with relevant EU stakeholders and organisations (e.g. DG ENER) is preferred.
- Experience developing and implementing lobbying strategies at EU-level.
- Experience in energy-, technology-, and/or data-centre-related fields is strongly preferred. Experience working on policy topics around artificial intelligence, cyber security and resiliency, energy efficiency and net zero, and/or infrastructure development is welcome.

- Experience managing third-party public affairs agencies a plus.
- Advanced political acumen and the ability to connect with stakeholders from all backgrounds.
- A creative and strategic thinker with the ability to understand complex issues and identify clear and effective action plans to resolve them.
- An affinity for project management, strong prioritisation skills, and the ability to objectively assess business risk and opportunity stemming from the policy environment.
- Empathetic and strong stakeholder engagement skills required.
- Strong written and verbal communication to internal and external audiences including senior government officials and company executives.
- Business-fluency in English is mandatory. Fluency in another European language, particularly French, German, and/or Italian, is a strong plus.
