We advocate for smart policy and regulation that supports innovation, consumer control, and a more open financial ecosystem. Plaid’s Public Policy team is part of the External and Corporate Affairs organization. We engage regularly in policy development, regulatory affairs, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement with key legislative, regulatory, and industry bodies to support Plaid’s mission of democratizing financial services. Plaid’s Public Policy Manager will work closely with the Head of Policy advocating with government policymakers, consumer groups, trade associations, and think tanks to advocate for a robust, secure, and consumer friendly financial services ecosystem. You will work closely with government policymakers, trade associations, think tanks, and other key stakeholders to ensure that consumers can use their financial data to access the products and services they need. This role will place you at the intersection of critical and evolving public policy issues. We are seeking a proactive, strategic thinker with a demonstrated ability to navigate cybersecurity, financial crime prevention, data-integrity policy issues, as well as complex political and regulatory dynamics. The ideal candidate is an exceptional communicator who can translate technical and business concepts into meaningful policy insights and vice versa.
