This isn't a communications role with a government relations side — it's a substantive policy and advocacy role for someone who understands how to shape the environment a fast-growing tech company operates in. You will advise senior leadership and represent Airalo in regulatory processes across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, and ensure that market-access risks are identified early and addressed proactively. The role requires a sharp political instinct, genuine interest in the telecoms and digital economy regulatory space, and the credibility to represent a global brand.
