Rubrik is seeking a Vice President of Government & Legal Affairs to establish and lead the company's global public policy strategy. Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, this executive will position Rubrik as a premier authority on data security, cyber resilience, and AI safety within government and regulatory circles.
The role operates at the intersection of public policy and commercial growth, requiring direct engagement with heads of state, legislative leaders, and key regulatory agencies including CISA, DoD, NIST, and international equivalents. The VP will secure Rubrik's seat at the table in critical national security and policy dialogues, elevate the company's brand, shape emerging cybersecurity and AI legislation, and serve as an executive catalyst for Public Sector (Federal/SLED) sales expansion.
Key responsibilities include establishing direct relationships with foreign ministries and U.S. political and federal agencies; positioning Rubrik executives as primary spokespeople for Congressional hearings, White House roundtables, and international policy summits; partnering with Public Sector and Enterprise sales leadership to unlock government procurement opportunities; tracking and shaping legislation surrounding zero-trust architectures, ransomware response, data governance, and AI security frameworks; and embedding Rubrik's technical vision into federal standards and public policy frameworks.
The ideal candidate brings 15+ years of government relations or public policy leadership in high-growth tech, cybersecurity, or SaaS environments, with a proven track record of establishing C-level and head-of-state relationships and shaping national policy frameworks. Deep understanding of how policy strategy enables Public Sector go-to-market motions, combined with clear experience managing agency relations, congressional testimony, and international government affairs, is essential.
