About the role

  • Lead compliance function ensuring relationships with government agencies for Middesk products. Collaborate across teams and develop strategies to engage effectively and sustainably.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain sustainable relationships with state and local government agencies that:
  • Ensure Middesk customers receive maximum value from our products
  • Provide reliable points of contact within agencies we depend on
  • Lay the groundwork for potential future opportunities to sell solutions to state agencies
  • Develop strategies, playbooks, and repeatable processes that allow Middesk to engage with government agencies consistently and effectively across states.
  • Partner closely with the Entity Operations team to:
  • Address time-sensitive issues with state Departments of Labor and/or Revenue
  • Create talk tracks, scripts, and guidance that Ops teams can use when interacting with state agencies
  • Help determine strategic prioritization for which states and agencies to engage, in collaboration with Ops, Product, and Sales
  • Collaborate with Product Partnerships and Product Ops to strengthen relationships with Secretaries of State and improve Middesk’s data acquisition efforts.
  • Stay up to date on a focused set of compliance, legal, and regulatory considerations related to how Middesk delivers its Entity products, translating that context into practical guidance for internal teams.

Requirements

  • Prior experience working in one or more of the following areas: compliance, government, government relations, government sales, or public policy.
  • A strong individual contributor who can operate independently and be trusted to represent Middesk externally with professionalism and sound judgment.
  • Comfort acting as a player and, over time, a player/coach (this role may eventually involve managing a small team, but hands-on execution will always be core to the job).
  • Excellent relationship-building skills across phone, email, video, and in-person interactions.
  • A confident negotiator who is not phased by conflict and can work toward pragmatic, win-win outcomes.
  • Clear and effective communicator who can explain complex topics in simple, actionable terms.
  • Highly organized and process-oriented, with a bias toward building systems that scale.
  • Energized by ambiguous, early-stage problems and excited to take things from zero to one.
  • Willing and able to travel to state capitals, especially in the early stages before this function is fully built out.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
