Policy and Operations Manager

The Policy & Operations Manager is the execution arm for Endurance's highest-priority policy, permitting, and environmental workstreams. This is a builder's seat in Washington, where you will sit close to the agencies, congressional offices, and coalitions that shape our operating environment. You will work directly with the Director of Environmental Affairs and the Director of Policy & External Affairs, taking special projects from a one-line ask to a finished product.

What You Will Do

You will own discrete special projects end to end (scope, plan, contributors, and delivery) with limited oversight and tight timelines. You will track and analyze federal and state legislative activity, draft and edit policy and regulatory materials, support permitting and environmental review, and build and maintain the internal source of truth for permitting status.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role carries unusual exposure for its level, and you will have the opportunity to work with ambiguity, incomplete data, and short timelines. You will also spend time where the technology is, with regular trips to Seattle and periodic time at deployment sites.
