Head of Government and Regulatory Affairs

Cirrus Logic is a global, fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Austin, Texas, that designs low-power, high-precision mixed-signal and audio processing solutions serving the consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial markets. As a fabless company, Cirrus Logic does not own or operate its own wafer fabrication or assembly facilities; instead, it depends on a global network of third-party foundry, assembly, and test partners to manufacture its products. This model gives Cirrus Logic distinct public policy interests: export control and licensing rules, cross-border data and technology transfer restrictions, tariffs on semiconductor and electronics trade, the health of the foundry ecosystem, and the strength of the fabless design community, all of which are central to our ability to compete. We are looking for a public affairs and regulatory strategy professional with strong issue advocacy, issue management, writing, and project management skills, and public policy and regulatory expertise. The Head of Government and Regulatory Affairs position involves strategically and effectively developing Cirrus Logic’s messaging and initiatives to reach policy audiences, regulators, trade associations, and other stakeholders. ### The Role Cirrus Logic is seeking a Head of Government and Regulatory Affairs to lead the company’s federal engagement in Washington, D.C., manage its government affairs in Texas, where it has its Austin headquarters, and support the company’s regulatory strategy. This is a newly prioritized, high-visibility role for a company whose products sit at the intersection of consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, advanced semiconductor design, and an increasingly complex global trade and regulatory environment. Your core mandate is as much protective as it is promotional: ensuring that policy and regulatory developments in Washington and in other markets where Cirrus Logic operates do not disrupt Cirrus Logic’s supply chain, market access, or ability to hire and retain engineering talent, while also advancing the company’s affirmative policy priorities. You will build and execute Cirrus Logic’s federal government and regulatory affairs strategy, represent the company before Congress and the Executive Branch, oversee engagement with the Texas Legislature and key state agencies, and ensure that policymakers and regulators understand the need for policies that support semiconductor innovation, maintain competitiveness, and expand domestic research and development. The role partners closely with Cirrus Logic’s Legal, Investor Relations, and executive leadership teams to align policy engagement with business strategy, and represents the company externally with policymakers, regulators, trade associations, and industry coalitions. ### The Team This role sits within Cirrus Logic’s Legal and Corporate Affairs organization, led by the General Counsel. The group offers exposure to a broad range of disciplines beyond government affairs, including counsel to Cirrus Logic's business units and engineering teams; intellectual property, patent prosecution, and technology licensing; trademarks and brand protection; litigation and dispute resolution; mergers, acquisitions, and investments; global trade and export controls; and corporate compliance and ethics. As the Head of Government and Regulatory Affairs, you will work closely with colleagues across these disciplines, given the close connection between Cirrus Logic's fabless supply chain, export control exposure, regulatory environment, and public policy priorities, and may have the opportunity to grow into broader corporate and international regulatory affairs responsibilities over time. ### Responsibilities - Build and execute Cirrus Logic’s federal government affairs strategy and advise executives, business units, and third parties on delivering key messages about Cirrus Logic’s policy and regulatory positions. - Serve as an early-warning system and first line of…
