You will serve as the primary bridge between international government stakeholders and xAI's engineering, research, and product teams—driving adoption of AI for civilian and public-sector use cases such as policy analysis, public health modeling, education, scientific research support, regulatory workflows, disaster response, and citizen services. This role emphasizes hands-on problem-solving, international travel (primarily to South America), and a deep understanding of regional needs, data sovereignty, and compliance with local/international standards.
