About the Role
The Company is seeking a Senior Advisor for Government Affairs in New Jersey. The successful candidate will be a key member of the External Affairs group, responsible for advancing the company's interests with state and local legislators, regulators, and other non-governmental stakeholders. This role involves autonomously managing the in-state external affairs team, overseeing a multi-issue and multi-jurisdictional policy portfolio, and serving as the primary representative of the company with relevant policymakers. The Senior Advisor will lead the company's engagement in legislative, regulatory, and community affairs, identify policy priorities, and manage a strategic approach to advocacy, including the deployment of outside consultants and lobbyists. Additionally, the role requires the development and maintenance of relationships with state and local officials to support the company's policy and regulatory objectives. Candidates for this position should ideally have a four-year college degree, with advanced studies or a graduate degree in public policy, law, or a related field preferred. A minimum of 10 years of experience in a relevant role, with a mix of government and private sector experience, is also preferred. The role demands fluency in state and local political and legislative processes, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders. The Senior Advisor will be expected to travel across the service territory and attend various events, and must be a self-starter with the ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks under pressure. Experience in the energy or utility industry, combined with a strong knowledge of regulated industries, is a significant advantage.
