At Fluidstack, we’re building the infrastructure for abundant intelligence. We partner with top AI labs, governments, and enterprises - including Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, Meta, and more - to unlock compute at the speed of light.
We’re working with urgency to make AGI a reality. As such, our team is highly motivated and committed to delivering world-class infrastructure. We treat our customers’ outcomes as our own, taking pride in the systems we build and the trust we earn. If you’re motivated by purpose, obsessed with excellence, and ready to work very hard to accelerate the future of intelligence, join us in building what's next.
As Fluidstack scales its global GPU cluster footprint — across the US, Europe, and beyond — we're building new datacenters in communities that will live with them for decades. That relationship needs to be earned, not assumed.
The Community Engagement Lead will be Fluidstack's primary interface between our infrastructure projects and the communities, governments, and civic institutions that surround them. You will build trust before the first shovel hits the ground, sustain it through construction and operations, and turn neighbors, local officials, and regional stakeholders into long-term advocates. You'll own a function that sits at the intersection of public affairs, economic development, and communications — and you'll build it from scratch.
This is a high-leverage role with direct exposure to Fluidstack's leadership, site development teams, and government relations functions. You will be a material contributor to whether projects close on time or stall in council chambers.
Develop and own Fluidstack's community engagement playbook: stakeholder mapping, outreach cadences, issue escalation protocols, and community benefit frameworks — scalable across geographies and jurisdictions
Serve as the primary face of Fluidstack in local communities — attending town halls, public hearings, planning commission meetings, and community events; represent Fluidstack's interests at external policy and political forums
Build and maintain relationships across a broad stakeholder matrix: elected officials, city/county staff, utility partners, school districts, workforce development organizations, nonprofits, trade associations, and community members
Monitor state and local legislation, regulatory developments, and policy trends; align external policy shifts with internal business priorities and develop strategies to shape outcomes — briefing senior leadership on political and policy risk throughout
Proactively identify and neutralize opposition before it organizes; partner with Site Selection, Real Estate, and Legal to surface reputational, regulatory, and political risk before capital is committed
Coordinate community benefit commitments (local hiring, workforce programs, educational partnerships, grants) and develop communications materials that translate complex infrastructure realities into clear narratives for community, government, and executive audiences; manage external partners including lobbyists, consultants, and PR agencies
