Build relationships and represent Betr. Develop credible relationships with legislators, governors’ offices, attorneys general and their staff, regulators, and other policymakers. Represent Betr at meetings, hearings, conferences, and industry events.

Manage lobbyists and the advocacy budget. Select, direct, and hold outside lobbyists and consultants accountable. Set objectives, evaluate performance, coordinate messaging, and recommend how to allocate spending across jurisdictions and initiatives.

Build coalitions and make our case. Work with trade associations, peers, and other stakeholders to advance shared priorities. Develop policy briefs, talking points, testimony, and proposed legislative language with internal teams and outside advisers.

Keep leadership informed and drive execution. Provide concise updates on material developments, recommended actions, and progress. Partner with internal teams to align advocacy with business goals and carry initiatives through to completion.
