Key responsibilities include: - Develop and execute community engagement strategies for Peregrine deployments by mapping civic and political landscapes, identifying key stakeholders, conducting community listening, and preparing for public meetings and high-visibility moments. - Create scalable community engagement playbooks covering stakeholder mapping, community listening, coalition building, public meeting preparation, and response to emerging concerns. - Translate complex technology into accessible language grounded in local priorities and civic values, partnering with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Implementation teams. - Monitor public discourse, media coverage, and stakeholder sentiment to identify emerging concerns, misinformation, and shape the public narrative around Peregrine's work. - Build trusted relationships across the civic ecosystem including community organizations, civil rights advocates, faith leaders, business groups, public safety leaders, policy influencers, and local media. - Support government partners through high-stakes civic moments including public hearings, council votes, and community meetings. - Ensure community perspectives are incorporated into how Peregrine communicates, positions, and deploys its technology. Success is measured by successful deployments supported by credible community engagement, a scalable playbook applicable nationwide, strong relationships with civic stakeholders, better-prepared government partners, clear public understanding of Peregrine's technology, and early identification and response to emerging concerns.
