State Campaign Manager, Public Affairs - AI Campaign

Responsibilities

• Serve as the single-threaded owner for state and local AI campaign execution, defining the vision and strategy for your designated market(s) and driving cross-functional alignment on the ground.
• Act as the primary quarterback across Meta's communications, marketing, policy, legal, research, and product teams to ensure seamless campaign execution at the state and local level — synthesizing inputs, driving alignment, and maintaining a unified campaign narrative.
• Build and maintain strong internal relationships across functions, ensuring that campaign strategies are translated into coordinated state-level action and that cross-functional team insights flow back to inform planning.
• Develop and execute localized campaign plans — including earned media, paid media, grassroots/grass-roots engagement, and legislative outreach — that advance Meta's AI narrative and priorities at the state and local level.
• Act as a practical, hands-on campaign leader who can translate strategy into actionable state-level tactics with clear milestones and accountability.
• Monitor state legislative and regulatory developments related to AI and technology policy, and adapt campaign strategy in real time to address emerging issues.
• Deploy campaign resources effectively across paid, earned, and grassroots channels to maximize impact in priority states and localities.
• Convene and lead regular cross-functional syncs to ensure all internal teams are operating from the same playbook, flag dependencies, and drive accountability across workstreams.
• Build repeatable best practices for state-level campaign execution and cross-functional coordination that can scale across multiple markets.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in political campaigns, public affairs, or government relations, with a strong emphasis on statewide and local campaign management
• Demonstrated experience managing or serving in a senior role on at least one statewide campaign (gubernatorial, senatorial, ballot initiative, or statewide issue advocacy)
• Proven track record running field operations, coalition-building, or voter/public engagement programs at the state or local level
• Experience coordinating across multiple internal functions or departments (e.g., comms, policy, legal, marketing) to deliver integrated campaign outcomes
• Experience working with or influencing state legislatures, governors' offices, or local government bodies
• Ability to manage multiple cross-functional workstreams simultaneously with a campaign-speed mindset
• Comfortable interacting with and influencing senior leadership, elected officials, and diverse community stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Direct experience managing a statewide political campaign (candidate or issue-based) as campaign manager, political director, or field director
• Proven success operating in a large, matrixed organization where campaign outcomes depend on coordinating across teams you don't directly manage — rallying internal partners through influence, clarity, and shared purpose
• Experience running state or local issue advocacy campaigns, ideally in technology, innovation, or economic development
• Track record of building effective grassroots and grasstops coalitions in multiple states or regions
• Familiarity with the AI policy landscape and the ability to communicate complex technology topics in accessible, locally relevant terms
• Exceptional leadership skills with a willingness to take initiative, be scrappy, and operate with a high degree of autonomy and judgment
• Sound strategic instincts combined with hands-on execution — you're as comfortable building a state-level plan as you are leading an internal cross-functional alignment meeting
• Experience communicating complex policy positions into concise, credible messages for state and local audiences, media, and government officials
• Broad understanding of the political, economic, and public opinion dynamics that shape state-level policy and decision-making
• Courage and conviction to challenge and defend ideas, and the adaptability to shift strategy as conditions on the ground evolve
