  • Provide advice to Kaspersky management on influencing, and reacting to policy changes;
  • Shape the company's external narrative on legislative initiatives in areas such as cybersecurity, IoT, Industry 4.0, critical infrastructure protection, data protection, and AI regulation, including drafting official submissions and policy papers;
  • Support the company's involvement in forums and events, and foster relationships with public institutions, industry representatives, and partners to identify mutual interests and co-develop initiatives or solutions;
  • Apply strategies to advance the company's thought leadership goals;
  • Advise the company on navigating regulations and global developments, managing trade-offs, and supporting decision-making processes;
  • Facilitate participation in major cybersecurity awareness initiatives and public-private collaboration projects;
  • Support management visits and high-level meetings. Represent the company's positions during stakeholder meetings and public consultations;
  • Undertake any other duties and projects as reasonably assigned by the company.

Required Experience & Skills:

  • 6–10 years of relevant experience in a technology company, think tank, public affairs consultancy, or government sector;
  • Bachelor's degree in law, international relations, information technology, or public policy; a master's degree is a plus;
  • Effective collaboration in cross-functional, global teams;
  • Ability to interact and work cross-culturally with stakeholders across regions;
  • Succinct writing, and attention to detail in correspondences;
  • Ability to apply expertise in cybersecurity and data policy to public affairs initiatives;
