The Role

You will work closely with policymakers, industry leaders, and internal teams to build a regulatory ecosystem that supports innovation while enabling adoption in the public sector.

Your impact will be immediate: from shaping policy strategies to unlocking revenue opportunities, you will help Mistral AI thrive in one of its most critical markets.

This role directly reports to our Public Affairs Director for EMEA, and may evolve to a larger DACH and/or Central Europe scope in the future.

What You Will Do

  • Monitor and analyze AI-related policy developments in Germany and the EU, assessing their impact on Mistral AI.

  • Develop and execute a long-term public affairs strategy, including parliamentary engagement, position papers, and lobbying campaigns.

  • Engage with policymakers, industry leaders, and key opinion leaders to foster constructive dialogue on AI and technology policy.

  • Prioritize and respond to policy issues affecting Mistral AI, proposing solutions that align with business and community interests.

  • Advise cross-functional teams on regulatory changes, ensuring compliance and informing product and business decisions.

  • Collaborate with Sales to design strategies that accelerate public sector adoption of AI.

  • Track industry trends and best practices in public affairs, ensuring the team remains ahead of regulatory shifts.

  • Build and maintain a strong network in Germany to amplify Mistral AI’s influence and reputation.

What We're Looking For

  • Extensive public affairs experience, with a track record of impacting policy-making, ideally in both public and private sectors.

  • Deep understanding of German institutions (federal, regional, and local) and the ability to map decision-making power.

  • Expertise in tech regulations, including GDPR, Copyright, AI Act, DMA, and tax laws.

  • Experience in highly scrutinized environments, where public affairs are critical to business success.

  • Trust-building skills, with the ability to defend positions rigorously, foster long-term relationships, and act as a thought partner.

  • Team player with a bias for action, ownership, and the ability to navigate ambiguity.

  • AI knowledge and familiarity with long-term industrial plans or model development (a plus).

  • Open Source mindset, aligning with Mistral AI’s commitment to openness and collaboration.
