  • Collaborate closely with other Lime team members on operations, marketing, and local media activities
  • Write and own a variety of written submissions on behalf of the company, including government consultations and local RfPs
  • Represent Lime at public events
  • Work closely alongside the Director of Policy to monitor and identify issues, political developments and upcoming challenges.

About You:

  • Degree in Political Science, Law, International Relations, Economy, or similar
  • 4+ years experience in government affairs, political campaigns, and/or business development in a government-related environment
  • Fluent in Italian and English, with additional languages as a plus
  • Excellent written and verbal communication/people skills
  • Ability to handle multiple deadlines and work at a rapid startup space

What We Offer:

  • Opportunity to revolutionise transportation in cities around the world with the leader in urban mobility solutions
  • Hybrid remote working policy
  • Scale with a rapidly growing organisation, with significant opportunity for growth
  • Play a role in the transformation of urban mobility and sustainability
  • Work with a team of successful, fun and motivated people
  • Competitive compensation package that includes salary, benefits, and pre-IPO equity
  • Wellness rewards and reimbursements
  • Company Funded Fertility/Family Forming Benefits
  • Unlimited Lime Vehicle use
