Job Description
**About the team**
Shopify’s Government Affairs Team, situated within the broader Legal Team, works with policymakers, legislators, civil society groups, academics, and the public at large to speak up for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and advocate for a more free, open, and competitive Internet.
Reporting to the Head of Government Affairs, European Union, your primary responsibility will be to manage our engagement on policy issues across Europe, and help us tell Shopify’s story to policymakers. You will represent us in meetings and discussions with policymakers and legislators, and you will work closely with the rest of the Legal Team to make sure that we are anticipating and preparing the business for significant legal and regulatory changes on the horizon. You should also feel comfortable working with engineers, product managers, tax specialists, and a variety of other teams, as part of your efforts to understand how policy proposals may affect our business, and the merchants that use our platform.
**Additional responsibilities**:
- Represent Shopify in discussions with policymakers, legislators, and civil society groups
- Monitor EU legislation and policy initiatives and evaluate potential impact on Shopify.
- Prepare written submissions about relevant policy proposals.
- Preparing policy papers and circulating internally to ensure that our view is informed by stakeholders across the organisation.
Qualifications
- You are located in or around Brussels, Belgium.
- You have 5+ years of experience with government affairs at EU level.
- Strong knowledge of EU and EU member state legislative processes.
- Basic understanding of at least some policy areas important to Shopify, including platform regulation, intellectual property, data protection, content moderation, competition, and e-commerce regulation.
- Existing relationships with policymakers, industry groups, and civil society groups in Brussels
- Excellent communication and writing skills.
- The ability to build and maintain strong relationships with a variety of people and teams, both internal and external. You will need to be able to gain the trust of a wide range of folks at Shopify, to speak to each team “in their language,” and to make them feel comfortable enough to reach out when things go wrong.
- You will also need to build trusted relationships with key external stakeholders. You will need to do all of this in a new “Digital by Design” (read, remote) workplace.
- The ability to talk about highly technical products and services with both technical experts and regulators with no technical background.
Additional Information
Closing date**:Sunday, June 12th at 11:59PM CEST**.
- At Shopify, we understand that experience comes in many forms. We’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team - so if your experience is this close to what we’re looking for, please consider applying._
